A word from the front lines... 10 (Kayla Kauffman)

My little friends going home healthy from the CTC!
       Day to day life still continues here in Aleg, with many Cholera patients passing through our gates. Twelve people was the count in the CTC last night. We can't hold much more than that, in our facilities. :-) I continue to be blessed as I work as a nurse helping others. It can be a lesson in humility, when your patients leave healthy and thank you for all you've done, yet you wonder if you could have done more. If you think about the clean, neat, fancy hospitals we have in the States, things could look pretty crude here. Yet the Haitian people are very blessed to be taken care of here.
Yesterday, many of us had the opportunity to take a hike to a beautiful water fall. It was a trek to get there and then back home but it was worth it. It was a blessing to have some time of recreation, and see some of God's handiwork in the mountains of Haiti. In our adventures coming and going we climbed some pretty steep trails, and crawled up some rocky places. Our mothers and grandmothers may have had something to say about the places we were climbing. But hey, your only young once, and we all came back safe and sound. :-) 


Thank you so much for keeping us supported in prayer, and taking an interest in what is happening down here. We are all very appreciative!! Praise the Lord that none of us have fallen ill.

A tool in His hands
