Team 3 TN Baptist Disaster Relief GroupDay 3 Weather is wonderful - hot with a southerly breeze. ha! Please tell the next team they do need mosquito nets, they need to bring gatorade it is necessity of life, also if they are prone to cramps from dehydration they need potassium supplement tablets.
Monday night we had a Haitian vendor come to our camp and they sold hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken burgers and real Coke products. (It was a blessing to eat real food)
Tuesday I went with Jerry to the children's hospital - and it was something I will remember for the rest of my life - there were 3 premie babies in an incubator - they were so small and helpless. There were children that were so sick they could hardly hold their heads up. There was an American Woman that came through the hospital with a dog for the older children to pet - it was a hit with most of the children but for some it did not matter they were so sick.
Last night sitting under the community tarp it was like camping - everyone was so happy and talking about the events of the day. At the bottom of our camp site there is a field and people were getting their hair cut and enjoying 2 young Haitian play soccer- it was a wonderful thing to see in all of this suffering.
A lot of the Haitian say they have received the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior - some want to know more about salvation- Jerry asked if someone could bring Bibles that are in Creole or French.
Please pray for the children who are orphaned that they may receive placement - and please pray for our team.
Our team members David and Sherry Pratt's daughter Crystal fell yesterday and shattered her knee and is having surgery today (Wednesday) please pray for her that she is ok and also pray for Sherry and David that they may receive peace of mind that Crystal is ok.
