Day Five for Mike and Bonnie Snider and the Holiday Hill and Wood Run Mission Teams in Bercy, Haiti
August 6, 2010
We feel blessed and comfortable here. Madline, 3 years old now has become a little “chunky monkey” as she is filling out from everyone feeding her! She came to the orphanage two years ago, when the Mandarin Baptist team was visiting and was near death. She stayed with Dorothy in Port Au Prince for two months, who nursed her back to health and now is the star of the show, always smiling from ear to ear!
The Holiday Hill and Wood Run teams are working and fellowshipping very well together. The two groups have really blended into one team.
There is a mother staying briefly at the orphanage with her 2 month old baby, Yousedalie and it is pronounced as it is spelled. Momma loves for us to take her and love on her!
Mirloudes, one of the young teenage girls, shows real promise as a photographer. She is not the only one. Other children like to help take pictures and have great fun looking at them when they are posted on Facebook.
Vedline and Wilna were taken to Mission of Hope today, but were not seen because they weren’t sick long enough (fever and stomach aches). Danielle from the Wood Run team went with them, as she is a nurse and wanted to check out the operation there. Jeana actually slept in Austin’s room last night with Vedline and Austin slept with “the guys upstairs.”
Susana’s (pregnant nanny) mother has been “sick in the booty” this week and she has been unable to work as has been caring for her. Nick and Austin left “momma” at Mission of Hope to undergo some tests’
Today is bible school, Phillipian’s 4:13 skit, flannel graph and coloring sheet. Charity and some of Shasta’s team are here to participate. They are almost ready to roll. (It was awesome!) This afternoon Pastor Albert wants his whole team involved in the combined clinic and peanut butter sandwich distribution. Sandwiches are already made!
The mewing sound we have been hearing for five days has finally been stopped. The cat was freed from between the two bathroom walls upstairs. We heard a very noisy cat venting her frustrations once freed!
