HAFF's vehicles are not just used to transport supplies, cargo and visitors. Several times a week HAFF is called upon to drive someone to the hospital in Pignon. I just spent an hour and a half today in this truck doing that. I took a woman with extremely high blood pressure. She may have had a stroke. Please pray for Mme Rochenel and her family.
At the hospital I encountered 2 ladies from our neighboring orphanage. They had been there all day with 2 of the orphans -- a 21 month old pair of twins. I was able to give them a ride home. And on my way out of Pignon, I was flagged down by a man asking me to take 2 large bags of small bags of treated drinking water to a former student who has a small store across the street from HAFF. It is rare that any of the HAFF staff goes into or comes out of Pignon alone!
Mme Gesson, our Godly Woman class colleague, got news today about her husband's eye. He was able to get to a good eye clinic in Cap Haitien. They told him that he would not regain the sight in his eye. And amazingly enough, it wasn't the mule kick in the eye that is the problem. It sounds like Fr Gesson might have glaucoma. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors and comfort for the family. It may be a bit odd, but the mule kick may be responsible for saving his other eye, if it caused them to discover glaucoma and if they can start treatment if the second eye is involved too. Please continue to keep them in prayer.
My laundry lady, Mme Deces came to do my laundry yesterday. She said that Neltha has a burn mark starting from her right temple, right down the front of her body leading to a wound on each hip. She said the burns are starting to itch -- hopefully a good sign of healing. And Neltha has a severe headache, but she can walk and talk. Please continue to keep Neltha in prayer as well.
