Team April Day 5

Day 5 was a great day again in Canaan.  The professional building has a good portion of the tin on the roof. It is going to be an awesome building for this community.
The medical clinic was full of people all day keeping most of the team very busy!  This community has been very blessed by the team's willingness to come and serve!
Our afternoon was complete with a visit to Suzette.  She has lost a bunch of weight after having a severe flu with some symptoms continuing for a month.  She is getting physically weaker but her spirit is stronger than ever.  Her faith is stronger than ever.  She only takes tylenol sometimes, most of the time when the pain is great, she prays.
We spent some time visiting and time praying with and for her.  Prayers continue for her healing!
The following are links to the Denlinger family blog with some of Suzette's story.

Team April Day 4

Today was another hot day in Canaan.  The guys working on the building are getting quite a tan working on the roof of the building!  Please check out the progression of the building on AWAKENHAITI's facebook page.

The medical clinic was busy again today.  Close to 70 patients were seen.  So many with dry eyes from the dust and dry air right now.  We're thankful we had so many lubricating eye drops to give.  We also have many patients with acid problems, headaches...imagine what it would be like to not be able to go right to your cabinet for tylenol which is the case for all of the patients seen over the last few days, also, many children with colds and infections.  Again, we are so thankful for the medicine we can offer to help these families!

Team April is doing a phenomenal job caring for the community of Canaan!
