A day of appreciation
It sounds as though most everyone had an opportunity to talk to their loved ones today.
Highlights:
Team recollected traveling through PAP as very eerie. It was late at night and there were many people sleeping along the streets.
They are using the buddy system to ensure that everyone stays safe and supported.
Gretchen delivered 3 babies yesterday with the assistance of Kristen and Melissa and another today. It is a great joy to assist in the miracle of life.
The team is loving the donated head lamps from the Alpine shop! This is a shout out to the fellow climbers if you are following the blog. These lights are providing a direct source of light on the operative area, invaluable.
Church service in the am featured “7-11” songs as Tony puts it, same seven words eleven times. The evening service featured “7-77” songs. The team felt right at home as Jeff got up to preach. There was lots of fellowship, singing and dancing.
They have been invited back to the hospital tomorrow and perhaps a tent city on Tuesday.
Be sure to ask Kristen about the Tarantula, they have pictures.
Overall everyone’s gifts are shining! The team has been amazed at the balance of strengths that have been put together. They are rejoicing in the partnerships and finding a new sense of friendship and appreciation for one another.
It is really beautiful there. They can see the ocean and the stars are amazing as they don’t have many lights to dim the view.
The team is hoping to post a blog tomorrow if the internet connection is restored. They can’t wait to share all the pictures with everyone.
