Our first week has come to and end.  We drove Dean and Darrell to the Port Au Prince airport this morning.  The 17 mile drive took only 1 hour and 40 minutes.  We did hear that they had safely arrived in Florida.

David and I were able to go to the grocery store with our friend Ryan Price (he was kind enough to drive the two D's to the airport).  In the middle of PAP is a huge supermarket, as nice as going to Byerly's and with as much variety as Cub.  There was also a bakery that served delicious pastries and espresso.  Such a contrast to the incredible poverty that they are in the middle of.  It is like a picture of the riches we have in Christ vs the poverty we have without Him.  Only the select can come in.

As we begin our second week here we will be meeting with a second optometrist  who has been involved with the eye clinic for many years.  He arrived today.  We will also be meeting a 3rd time with a proposed contractor.  This week will also consist of more clinical work as we work both in the eye clinic and doing some screening of school children.

Please pray for wise decisions regarding building the clinic, for some repair work to get done on the optometry house, for David and I to be able to show Gods love and mercy.

Bondye beni ou.
