More Emails from Haiti!

These are the last two I received from Mary...

We gave 140 eye exams and glasses today. It really is amazing. The contrast of filth and pride is amazing. The people are truly happy. Love to you. Mary

The food has been really amazing. I had goat roast last night . Beans and rice tonight. It was made by Haitian women that work for the missionaries. The place we stay feels safe, but when the Voodoo Dr. and his followers march right by the compound with their drums, it is so wierd and scary. The drumming is amazing. Today we did 100 more eye exams. My job is fitting people and I could almost cry when they get so excited because they can read again. Love Mary

YAY GOD -- the voodoo doctors can drum all they like, but the GREAT PHYSICIAN restores sight!

GREAT job on service today! It was a good reminder (we have studied this numerous times) Ironic- I had been thinking about this topic this weekend.
