Our second full day at Christ the King was a rousing success. We were able to get all of our translators working in each of the different areas which made a huge difference! Trying to teach kids certain sport skills with the help of a translator worked great. The kids are absolutely loving the volleyball! We put the net up this morning and had 20 or so kids playing on each side of the net. Tons of fun!
We made a few minor tweaks to the medical clinic as well, which helped our team to be more efficient. Also a huge blessing! We again saw over 100 patients today. We saw one boy who needed surgery pretty quickly. We gave the family the money they needed to get their son to Port au Prince where one of the hospitals would be able to help him. We are praying he is able to get the help he needs.
We fitted the kindergarten students with shoes today and were able to give a pair of tennis shoes or flip flops to everyone. We still have one more class of students to fit for shoes and hope to get to do that tommorow.
Today's Scripture study for us: Mark 12:29-34, which details the story of Jesus being asked the question about the greatest commandment. He gives the greatest answer, which is to love God and to love others. It served as a good reminder for us to demonstrate our love for Him by loving the people here in Haiti and also those back home. How does that scripture impact you?
