Another Good Day...

Bonswa...

Another good day. Both the construction and medical teams have been awesome to work with.

Each day way have started the day off with singing and a devotion. Today Marty did the devotion. He shared from John 13:4-15, which is about Jesus washing His disciples' feet. He ended the devotion by having us take the te to wash each other's feet. It was quite a humbling and encouraging time.

Today we (construction team) went out with the medical team to visit their clinic. The have been working at a compound in a city farther West from here. The compound is owned by a private individual who has let a Church of God congregation come in and set up a safe place to be. The medical team has been able to see at least 100 people each day.

After visiting the clinic the construction team went to Gressier to look at one of the churches that we will be rebuiliding on a future trip.

We continued on out to Leogaine, which is where the epicenter of the earthquake was. 97% of the city was destroyed. A lot has been done, but there is still a lot of work to be done.

From there we returned to the Oasis compound and got back to work. It looks like we will be able to leave with all of the second floor of the compound building completed, which means our next trip(s) can start focusing on working on the churches in the community. We have all of the air conditioners installed (we can't use them until the generator arrives), every room painted, all the electrical switches and recepticles replaced, and the plumbing working. Tomorrow we will finish with upgrading the lights and ceiling fans and doing some final clean up activities.
