Thankfully I haven't needed to post here recently as we have had a wonderful group of volunteers help with the quintuplets. However, we have currently lost many dedicated volunteers in the recent weeks and I am hoping to recruit some new volunteers. If you have had interest in helping but didn't want to get the TDAP vaccine or flu shot, you can still help over the spring/summer months (until flu season next fall). Varicella is the only vaccine still needed (or if you had chickenpox as a child then you are fine).
Our current needs are for Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday mornings (8a-1p); Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday afternoons (1p-6p); and Saturday and Sunday evenings (6p-9p). If you have any availability to help (even if for just part of a shift), please send me an email and I can provide more details.
Thanks,
Stacey Walter

This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God through Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, works in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were born in 2012.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6

I want to thank Stacey and all the faithful volunteers who have worked for us! I said today that maybe I can start doing it on my own at least part of the day, but the three women who were here and my husband all said, "No, you can't. Not yet." And considering that for a while this morning the babies were keeping three of us hopping, maybe they're right. No one would die if I were the only one on duty, but goodness knows there would be a LOT more crying as they waited their turn for mom to get to them! :}
ReplyDeleteI also want to echo what Stacey said about working part of a shift: 5 hours is a long time to work, so even if all you can give is 2 hours, or even 1 hour from, say, 7 to 8 p.m. or 8 to 9 a.m., that would be wonderful. Those are the times we most struggle since it's bath and bedtime between 7 and 8 p.m., and we really need help in the morning as Gavin has to go to work and I've often been up very late. E.g.: I made a 12:30 a.m. formula run last night, didn't finish feeding and settling the boys until after 2:30 a.m. this morning; and consequently didn't get in bed until 3:00!
Having quints is a LOT of work. A lot more than even I realized, and I've been overwhelmed by God's provision of help!
It's a good thing they are so stinking cute. ;)
Love,
Carrie
