Day 12
The nurses went to Rouseux on a mobile medical mission. They saw about 50 or 80 patients.
The construction team painted and worked on the drain field for the septic system David trained Peter, Marc and Mode on the operation of the water treating system.

I know Mom is working with the nurses at the medical mission, but I have yet to read the name of “LeRoy” on any of the blog updates. What is Dad doing? Supervising, I assume. I just read through some of the old blog updates & I can’t even imagine what the day was like when the 500 2-day old chicks arrived!! I hope everyone is well.
I am so proud of my Mom and Dad (Velma & LeRoy Crees) They are also very courageous to be continuing their mission work in Haiti now with all the uncertainties and possibilities of danger after the earthquake.
Has your team seen very many refugees? I suppose there are some displaced Haitians in your area or the UN would not be dropping supplies. Be sure to always be thinking of your safety!!
Tell my folks I will stop by there house to keep a check on everything. We had forgotten to discuss that prior to them leaving.
Also, Brownstown lost in the finals of the regional! Absolutely heartbreaking, especially for a 12-year old boy that cried almost the whole way home. From Huntingburg to Vallonia, that was a long time to listen to him be so upset! They just didn’t have it together for either games of the regional tourney. They won by 4 points in round 1 and lost by 3 points in round 2. Referees were terrible, but like George and I told Jon, when your #1 in the state (on the top), nobody cut you any slack or gives any breaks to you.
Holly made it back to BSU and is back in her usual routine, only called 3 times yesterday and once today. Seems like every time she comes home on a break, it takes her awhile to get back into the “I’m an adult and need to take care of my business myself.” Within a few weeks, she will be back to normal. I always know what is going on with her, just log onto Facebook!
Steven is home now, but haven’t seen much of him. He usually spends his evenings at Michael’s house. He does have an interview tomorrow for an engineering internship for the summer with Hoosier Energy in Bloomington. Keep him in your prayers and cross your fingers. He is very nervous. Even went and bought new dress pants, shirt and shoes for the interview!
Weather has been nice the last couple of days, sunshine and 67 the high today! Spring is here.
I sure do love you guys and hope you are having fun. Someday when you get to heaven, Jesus will have a special crown for you and all of your mission buddies for spreading the word and love of Christ to the Haitian people & for attempting to alleviate their suffering &bring them some joy.
I love you, Jeannie

I have been thinking of this verse for days. Trying to remember where in the bible to find it. Today at work, I asked a co-worker and after a couple of hours, she came up with the book and chapter, then I found the verse. I think of this verse when I think of the mission work that all of you do in Haiti.
Love, Jeannie
Matthew 25:40
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” (NIV)
And the King will reply to them, Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least [in the estimation of men] of these My brethren, you did it for Me. [Prov. 19:17.] (AMP)
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (KJV)
