More Teaching and Orphanages

I woke up in the middle of the night remembering I forgot to e-mail Jamie (my daughter) with a medical question about a young girl who was having a medical problem at our visit to the orphanage yesterday. I have been getting up 5:30 and heading to the dining area for a couple of cups of coffee before breakfast. Mike my roommate for the trip usually beats me down to the dining area and is busy on his computer journaling from the day before.
The main group headed to Carfour. The pavement on the road to Carfour was much improved and there were dividers and the trip was much faster and the traffic moved at a much better pace so a trip that last year took over an hour was cut in half.
When the group arrived at the clinic it was full of people with lots of little babies.Pastor Ramone and the doctor were at the clinic. The group gave money and meds and played with the children.
Then the group headed to Commite Artisans for some shopping only to find it closed for the Carnival Holiday. Disappointed the group decided to brighten their spirits by hitting Domino's for lunch. After eating their fill of pizza it was time to buy food for the orphanages: 200 lbs of rice, 100 lbs of cornmeal, 4 cases of milk 20 lbs of pasta, a case of margarine, and 2 cases of oil. Half of the supplies were delivered
Today I taught for four hours and finished up my class on I Corinthians. The group for the class was a good size like yesterday and they again were very inquisitive asking all sorts of questions when given the opportunity. They were very serious questions seeking some practical advice for problems of their churches similar to the Corinthian church. I loved the opportunity to teach such a responsive caring group of pastors.
Then we went to deliver food at Guy's orphanage. It was at a new location because they rent property because their building was destroyed in the quake and it has not been rebuilt. The kids we some of the most loving kids. They came up and gave big hugs and were well fed looked healthy. We checked out some children 13 and there were no high temps or obvious signs of illness. With the setting it might be a hotspot for worms or other parasites. 75 children live at the orphanage with 25 at camp this week die to the holiday. We also left some funds with them for more food or to help with rent.
Back to Walls Guest House for a meal and some relaxing after a busy day. Jamie did get back with me with some valuable advice which I passed on the the nurse in the group
