9ood evening all!

We had a very hot and steamy day today. Not sure what the temps got up to, just know it's HOT! We worked at the clinic again today. We are seeing a lot of the same stuff as before. Also see a lot of kids with intestinal paracites, ringworm, scabies, etc. A lot of malnutrition, some chronic and some as a result of the earthquake. Many of the children have respiratory infections. Adults have many of the same complaints, along
with complaints specific to adults. The mobile bus saw more of the same, along with a coupleof fractures which they casted.

We had one case today of a little boy who had his finger crushed in a water pump last Friday. He was brought in by his mom today. We have a trauma orthopedic surgeon on the team with us, and he operated on the boys finger at the clinic this afternoon. The boy had to have the end of his finger amputated under local anesthetic. He was VERY brave and didn't cry until Cindy had to give him a shot of antibiotic in his little tushy when we were all done! He will come back next week to see the next team's doctor for a recheck and a dressing change.

We have had a lot of new people coming in to stay at Pastor Pierre's home. We are crowded, but all are getting along well. Everyone here sees the vision and is doing all that they can to make it move forward. One of the nurses that comes here regularly had a vision of building a hospital in Chambrun area under Nehemiah Vision. They found out this week that there is a person/persons who are going to fund that project in the next year. These people really need that out there. There is so much that goes untreated for lack of facilities.

The Hatian food that we have had is awesome!! Very flavorful, and not to spicy. And no curry, which makes Tim very happy. We did get a change from beans and rice tonight... we had spaghetti!! We eat PB&J on tortillas or crackers for lunch most days so far. We are getting a variety for breakfast. Today was hard boiled eggs and bananas and oranges.

The recovery of Haiti is now beyond the trauma stage and it's now in rebuilding stage and survival mode as they work to recover. Please pray for healing of the people and their country.

We are tired, but it's a good tired. We are not doing really exciting work for the most part, but work that will have long term rewards as people find out about Nehemiah Vision Ministries and what they are doing for the people of Haiti.

Blessings to you all,
Tim and Cindy
