Hello Friends and Family!
This is Gayla from PVBC. We made it safely to the Mole this afternoon. Our travels went great – thanks for your prayers! (Our big bags were loaded on a truck in Port-au-Prince so we are praying they will arrive sometime tonight so we can have all of our supplies tomorrow!)
After lunch we headed to the mission property and got to see how much it has changed since last year! It’s amazing how much construction has been completed! The school and cafeteria look great. After checking that out we went to the orphanage to hang with the kids. They were pretty happy to see us! They ran up to us and wanted to be held or sit on our laps. It was pretty neat!
We then took a walk to the beach and spent some time wading around. The water was pretty cold but felt refreshing. The Castillo girls were our tour guides so it was fun to reconnect with them. Tonight Jody will be doing some orientation for us and then I’m sure we will be heading to bed early since we’ve been up since 4am!
Thanks again for all your prayers and support! Everybody is looking happy and healthy!
Gayla

Hello Friends and family from Sandra Bath. I have had a great day working with the kids at the orphanage, watching Kenson teach the kids, playing with the Castillo children, and meeting a group from Kansas.
Scott Jackson flew back to Port au Prince this morning after spending two days touring the town and the mission property, a small village, and talking with Jody about plans for building on the mission propety. Thank you for all your prayers. Love you. Will see you next Friday.
