Moments

I haven’t posted in two weeks, but don’t give up on me.  My commitment is to get back into regularly writing.  I’ve just been in Haiti for the past two weeks.

This was probably our most productive trip yet.  We started with nothing and were able to complete the foundation for a boys’ cabin.  I have never hauled so many buckets of rocks, water, mortar and cement.  Still, it was good work and it was productive.

visiting Ile Vache is always a great trip.  The church is growing and Grace School is helping so many children.  It is exciting to see.

Then we did a two day V.B.S. in Les Cayes.  There were 250 the first day and425 the second.day.  It was a blast, but chaotic.  Singing and drawing and playing are always a joy.  But trying to share snacks and drinks with over 400 hungry children is a learning experience.

We also got to see one of the churches that go with us adopt a church in Haiti.  That was such a huge blessing.  It is in a little town called Maniche. 

Of course, one of the greatest joys of all is visiting with the staff and children at Children of Israel Orphanage.  I love those people. 

Now we are home and it is back to the cold (at least colder than Haiti).  But it is good to be home.
