Let their be light!!

We are so grateful to finally have electric for the first time since we arrived. That means showers and being able to make our way around the house without flashlights. We have been blessed beyond belief so far by the amazing people of Haiti.
Today we split into two groups. One group went to the school that hearts united works closely with and the other group went to the hospital in Port au Prince.The hospital group helped in the maternity unit and got to see some of the OR in the hospital. In the afternoon we went to a all girls orphanage that has 85 orphaned girls. We all worked as a team and treated many children who have scabies. We worked with many little girls who had staph infections as well and had a chance to do some great hygiene teaching.  We treated a little girl whose lymph nodes were very enlarged and was very sick. The pharmacist in the group Rob mixed some antibiotics together so that they were the right strength for her 2 year old body making it possible to treat this tiny girl. Her name is Mylove and we would love it if you would keep her in your prayers. We have been blessed beyond comprehension by the generosity and love we are receiving from these people. We are all healthy and doing well. We are working hard to remain hydrated and trying our best to get the rest that we need. We love it here and are so thankful for your prayers! We will be switching groups tomorrow and the group that went to the hospital will go to the school and vice versa. We will continue to treat the scabies and measure the growth of these beautiful children. Continued prayers are appreciated as we continue our work in this amazing country. We feel as thought we are being blessed personally more than we can bless the people. We love you all and miss you but are doing fantastic. Your prayers are working and God is moving.
