Gylcerin Saop And Acne

It is with pleasure that we can finally share our latest news.

For the first time in her life, Cheryl have set foot into the sea while he was on an island in the Atlantic. She has greatly enjoyed his time with all the women missionaries in Guinea at this conference. For his part, Yves could not rest because he lived in one of the most luxurious houses in the country, the Representative of the World Bank in Guinea. He is from the same country as Ron (Trinidad and Tobago) and they are only 2 in the country.

House representative from the World Bank in Guinea.

Following this break, we spent a intense week to prepare for the clinic's opening. We had every room tidy as usual, fill in the various cabinets according to their future use and also very clean. Ouff! But God's grace abounds and we could smile of satisfaction and gratitude. After 2 ½ months in the country, the clinic is open to serve people in need.


And how great was this need! From the first day, Monday, November 12, more than 23 patients come for treatment. But Africa is never without a hitch, we had previously learned quickly. This was our unexpected worst nightmare. Djallo was not there. He was to arrive the day before to be present for the opening. We had to stop a team, pray and find a plan B. Since Heather Yearwood, Mary and Hawa provide medical services for years (although they are not formally trained), they treated all patients who showed signs of tropical diseases (malaria, diarrhea and worms, especially in children. ... Yves treated patients who needed tires and had toothache ...


Only Djallo night that is happened. The Friday night before crossing the main street of Boke, he had been hit by a motorcycle. It (as do all bikes to save gas) had closed its engine leaving the vehicle down a hill without light or noise. Fortunately, Djallo was a few feet from the hospital. He spent several hours in a coma. His friend the policeman was surprised to see him alive the following Monday because he was certain of his death. They are not complainers these Africans! With blood in the ear and ribs in pain, he began to work still with us on Tuesday. Pray for Djallo, it is a again Christian and his uncle is the Chief Imam of Guinea.

November 5, Enters the family was back among us. This was the first family to live and work among the people Tanda. Roger has seen death up close last January and the family had been evacuated in 24 hours. Their return is a miracle! Their joy and love for Tandas are contagious!


Since mid-November, a team of Irishmen came to spend two weeks with us to build a second bridge. It is smaller than the first but all useful. Pray for these men who are in the heat all day. Several have already been dehydrated. May our great God and the support that the fruit of their work is a blessing and proof of the love of Christ to the people.

can not leave you without news of our baby. Cheryl's belly swells visibly. Around week 17 of pregnancy, we both felt moving. Since then, Cheryl often receives short bursts. She eats more and iron tablets (she was of anemia) were significantly decreased fatigue. Monday, November 26, it will begin the 19th week of pregnancy! What a miracle! Thank you Lord!


Prayer items:

• Monday, November 26 we prepare for a great trip! We visit the home of Chantal Koundara (12 hour drive for 300 km Cahottes do).

• We will continue working at the clinic (many details to finish).

• December 10, we return to Boke for a week's conference for all NTM missionaries in Guinea.

• Our attitude! It is difficult to be constantly confronted with the cultural differences in our work to the foil. Both in terms of care, cleanliness, operation ... We want to keep our eyes on the work that God wants us to move on.

• Baby's health, Mom and Dad ... because we are always surrounded by sick people.

"The goodness of the Lord are not exhausted, His mercies
are not out;
They are new every morning. Oh! that your loyalty is great! "
Lamentations 3: 22-23

you soon.

My 3 Week Old Sounds Flemmy

Africa, dura ... A September


We experienced a range of emotions lately.
joys, sorrows, triumphs, failures, questions, etc..

But is valuable food together. We know that God is with us and that the prayers of brothers and sisters we support. Where to start, so much to say!

the medical side (and emotional):

Yves made a relocation of a feeding tube into the stomach disinfected using a screwdriver.

Yves withdrew a broken branch, deeply embedded in the leg of a grandmother who did not bronchée (me, I would have fainted).

A life was certainly saved, that of a boy who had cerebral pallu (malaria). Yves had to leave his talents to find a vein and the needle.


A mother has brought his two weeks. She stopped eating for several days. It was cold and blue-green. Her little heart was too low (30 to 50 beats / min.) And lacked oxygen. She certainly had brain damage. His twin died at birth. All day we gave her care, but Yves knew it was a matter of time. Cheryl will be a very caring mother with the care she has given. We were already so attached to her. At dinner, she left us. Africa is so hard for little lives. First time, our hearts were wounded.


The clinic officially delivered his first baby. Just like us! We were not using Djallo. To complicate things a bit, it was a seat. Yves had "burst the waters" and all the amniotic fluid was green and brown watered. He did an episiotomy and the baby was out, but very difficult. We have revived the little and have fallen in love. Complications occurred a few hours later and we rushed mom (15 years) and baby. The mother died early and was given to a nurse. We expressed our great desire to adopt, but we did not have priority. For us it was like the flight. A second time, we broken heart broken ... but really! We had asked for a clear direction from God, but we did not imagine his refusal. He knew what He was exactemment. It has protected our hearts, because a week later the girl is dead.

"For I know the plans I have for you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29: 11

To lift our spirits, we used ultrasound handset to see if there was life on that side. We found our beautiful girl (Yves always hope ... it is not known yet but a boy sex is enjoyable!) Who squirmed all full with a small hiccup. It feels good to hearts of parents can be reassured. Thank you Lord for the same technology here in the depths of the bush.

Cheryl's getting better and better. His little belly begins to interfere when she squats down and need support when lying on the side. But that they are Good news!

The clinic is a victim of its success. Every day dozens of people come for treatment. Djallo is supposed to heal and prepare Yves clinic. But the latter is often involved in care and can not advance installation of the clinic, particularly when there are patients in every room. Yves definitely lives frustration. With the committee of the clinic, they decided to close for 2 weeks. The first week, women will go to a conference on island in the Atlantic and men go to Conakry to buy medicines, cement, etc.. The second week, all will start the task to "finish" the installation.

Ramadan (fasting done by musulmams) call by Lent, ended Oct. 15. was a very difficult month because all day the believers could not drink or eat while there was light (6 am to 19 pm), even if they worked in the field by a heat of 33 degrees. The last day was Day in the village and the women danced.

Three new boys are added to the group of 8. Moreover, the biblical teaching has begun and our house we can hear them singing every night. Those who come to Jesus Christ will be the leaders of tomorrow and will have a significant impact on their peers.

We plan to return to Canada allentours March 2. So two months before delivery as recommended by our gynecologist.

But by then, persevere in prayer:

• Stay focused on what God asks us

• Pregnancy

• Cheryl What can withstand the heat

• Our health is so fragile in Africa

• The decision by some villagers to confess Christ as Savior and Lord.

• The biblical teaching of the 11 children

• Clinic

You rewritten soon.
