Mission Trip - Day Four - Thursday, December 30, 2010

Our volunteer medical crew spent the first three days preparing for Thursday and Friday family visits with the doctors.  Early in the week, each family was given an appointment time for either Thursday or Friday to visit the doctors.  Two former Haitian doctors volunteered their time all day Thursday and Friday to examine the residents of the mission village.

Dale George, an electrician by trade, measures for a piece of drywall in the new Community 
Center that also will house offices for the school and the new medical clinic.

Don Craven and Jon Lawrence add one of the "thousands"of drywall screws
 in the new medical clinic area of the Community Center

Outside work included pouring concrete curbs around the new Community Center 
and several homes to divert water during heavy rains



Our battle with the "guys" next door intensified on Thursday night, I was laying on my bed reading, when four or five of them ran into the room, two jumped on me and the other three grabbed Jon's mattress and headed for the door. Jon came back just in time to save the day!  You can see Jon about half way back trying to wrestle his mattress back into the room and you can see me near the back putting one of my famous "half nelsons" on Justin!
