It is Monday again. Monday's in Haiti are always busy but you can imagine what it is like now. One man of the group that came from TX yesterady was a doctor. He worked with Sheryl and Susan in the clinic today.
David was able to go in town and purchase fuel that will be delivered by a transport truck. He went to our normal purchasing place...DINA SA ...and their building was damaged but they had someone at their gate that said David could go to the Texaco bureau as DINA was working out of their offices. They were okay to take a check. A few of the branch banks are open. My understanding is that the main bank of the one we use has some damage. They will allow us to email and transfer monies from one account to another as we purchase supplies. We'll use this method in the future. Also a couple of the hardware stores we use were open. One of the owners of A & B Hardware ran across his parking lot as David got out the vehicle and gave him a big hug. He was so glad to know that we were all okay in our area. His partner in the business lost his home and a nephew. The home was located near the Montana Hotel that has been seen on TV and where many many died. David went on to EKO DEPOt another hardware so and was able to purchase some of the items he needed to do some repairs on our place and to hook up the electricity to a new well we drilled in a couple of months ago. With so many on the compound water is a huge need. Praise the Lord for all the reservoirs that we have to store this water.
I (Judy) and 7 others worked at the airport hanger today to load and shrink wrap 18 pallets that will be trucked to Nashville on Thursday. Thanks to the four Heady cousins, Henry and Lorell Crabtree, Tammy W. and of course Becky Ivy for all their help in making this possible. We are blessed that UPS is going to send a truck and deliver these pallets to Nashville. So many hands working together....
A new 13 member NCB medical team....I think Team #3...arrived today along with our new full-time GO missionaries Joe and Linda Sullivan. What a joy to have them on the field especially at this time.
