Westlake Bible Church

a group from Westlake Bible Church has been helping out the MAKARiOS team this week. after some bad weather delays, the finally arrived in the country, and joined our staff on Sunday for church in Chichigua.

on Monday we were blessed with more rain. while most of the group searched for kids to partcipate in the activities, a few others joined Ruben and I to take a Haitian girl, Kati, to the hospital. Kati is the little girl we blogged about in January whose stomach is full of parasites. these Westlake group members made it possible for us to brighten Kati's day by getting her the help she needs and filling her belly with lots of food. they also did a wonderful job playing with her and putting a smile on her face. it was unfortunate that they were unable to spend the afternoon in the Pancho Mateo as planned. yet they continued to serve us by organizing and labeling everything in the house.

after taking the kids from Chichigua to the beach on Tuesday morning, they came back to finish all of their household tasks. we now have doors that open smoothly, a logically organized and labeled (in English AND Spanish!) kitchen, consolidated school supplies in easy to find locations, and many new household items that we were needing.

after enjoying 27 Waterfalls this morning, the group headed to Santiago to help Ruben on the farm, where I'm sure they'll continue to be a blessing.

thank you, WBC, for your involvement with MAKARiOS!
