Greetings from Haiti! By now many of you have heard of my mishap in Haiti last night. I thought I would do a quick post to make sure that you all know I am fine. It is true, I fell leaving our room and hit my head on the tile steps. We had had a thunderstorm and although I thought I was being very careful, I lost my footing on the wet steps and down I went. I got a pretty good gash on the back of my head and it was decided I was going to need stitches. So 8 stitiches later and a little less hair, I am repaired!! It was a blessing that a local docter was here at the orphanage at the time and he along with the help of Cheryl were able to sew me up. Although this was not a "nice" thing to experience here, I certainly do not want this to be a focus of our trip. I was still able to participate in VBS today and spend time with the babies this afternoon even with a new gauze "headband" and a baseball cap! I am so thankful for all your concern and prayers. Please pray now that I will heal good and especially ward off any infection during the remainder of my time here (I am on an antibiotic!). We are having a wonderful time and the children are really enjoying the VBS.
The entire team thanks you all for your thoughts and prayers. We are all having the experience of a lifetime together for Him!!!
Blessings, Deb
