Ready for day 2 on the mission field!

Good morning all,

We are looking forward to what today will have for us.  We will be visiting a clinic where they help mothers learn how to be healthy with their children.  Malnutrition is a major problem here, and we are seeing it everyday.  We are asking the ages of the children because a 7 year old here in Campat is like the size of my 4 year old Caleb.  This is not because of genetics, it is because lack of nutrition especially under 2 will stunt growth of the body.  These people don´t know this. What I love most about FH is the fact that they educate communities to know what to do and how to change these habits.  They do so with a God world view. 

We will also be going to a farm training.  FH teaches the men how to grow a garden, with vegtables that will bless their families.  I am excited to see and be apart of giving them the tools to help them serve their families and their communities for years to come.
