Kyrk's Atrel trip and Robert

The past few days have been full of exciting things.
On Tuesday Kyrk took a dutch couple who is visiting up to Atrel to show them where World Servants is working. It is always exciting to show people where we are planning to move to and also to introduce them to the wonderful people in that area. Kyrk was also able to visit with a family that lost everything in a house fire back at the end of February when Kyrk was staying in Atrel. Their home was completely destroyed and their youngest child died as a result of the burns that he received. They have 8 other children and they are currently living with a family member. Through all of this it is encouraging to see how the church community is coming together and helping them is whatever way they can. It is their pray that somehow they will be able to build a new home, but right now they don't know how that will happen.

The children in this picture are 4 of the 8 and the lady in the white dress is the mother. The lady beside her is the lady that they are staying with right now.


This is what was left of their home after the fire.

Overall it was a great trip and Kyrk was able to see the property boundaries and has a better idea now of where we will build our house and put the training center buildings.

Robert started having a high fever on Monday afternoon and when he still had a high fever on Wednesday I decided that it was time to see a doctor. Dr.Bernard a wonderful Haitian doctor that lives and works here at the mission took a look at him and prescribed axocillen and a strong fever reducer. Since he wasn't sure what was causing the fever he also sent Robert for Blood and Urine tests. Taking my kids for things like that is very challenging, so it was a tough things for me. Robert handled it very well and thankfully all the tests came back showing no serious problem.
Then today he has a rash all over his body. We now know that this is what was causing his high fever and we are continuing to pray for his complete recovery.
