Continued Happenings at Mountain Top Ministries

I LOVE JetBlue.....

Ok...this has nothing really to do with Mountain Top Ministries, but I just had to throw it out there that I LOVE JetBlue. They actually give you cookies on the plane! It's amazing how the little things in life make a big impact. JetBlue is now flying into Haiti and if you watch prices, you can actually travel for under $530 round trip all the way from the West Coast (Seattle, Portland, SanFrancisco, Los Angeles) to Haiti. Generally we would pay at least $2-300 more. The flights stop through JFK, but when coming from Portland, it's a much quicker route because it's just two flights vs three or four.

We have more shelves in Haiti at the clinic. Yay!! We now have a section to organize physical therapy supplies and a shelf to organize all our needles, syringes, etc. We're also in process of completing shelves for school supplies. Thank you for those that  have donated resources  for the medical clinic with material, storage bins, etc. Your help is greatly appreciated!

The trade school is amazing! Thank you to everyone who has worked on this process. It's been incredible to see so many teams doing sections of this school throughout the year. And now we have a roof! 

They poured the concrete this past week. Watching the process was impressive!

Above is the roof before they poured the concrete.

I cannot believe how many people came together hauling pails of concrete and spreading it out on the roof. They started in the morning and by early afternoon were finished.

The school is actually underneath. There are a couple other doors that can't be seen from this picture. This is just the first part of the roof. The rest will be finished within the next couple of weeks.

We welcomed Emory University students and our amazing friend and pediatrician Dr. Mandi last week. They joined the last part of an Indiana team (and some team members from other areas) that worked long and hard at the clinic all week. Our good friend Ron from Canada was here as well. So thankful to see old friends. He was able to bring his daughter along on this trip. It was great meeting you Jane! We look forward to seeing you again in Canada and back in Haiti someday soon. 

Dr Mandi also brought clear vinyl for our family table. Thank you! Thank you! We've had an issue trying to cover the table because it's a huge table. We put three different smaller table clothes on, but they kept sliding off. We just have plywood for the table, so it needs to be covered. Amazing what a difference the vinyl has made. We were able to lay out our maps under the vinyl to outline our upcoming USA road trip and also to look at the map of the world. Good geography lessons for the kids (and for us too)!

We also had another b-day party and celebrated Talitha, David, and Kaavya's birthdays (one of the team members). We made homemade pizza, apple pie, and cheesecake. We feel blessed to have so many amazing people serving along side of us. We'll miss Dr. Mandi and the college girls when they leave!
