What a special way to spend a Sunday...worshiping with fellow believers in a home of some Haitian missionaries. Tonight at team devotions we talked about our experiences of the day and it came up that this morning really proved to us that where two or more are gathered, our God is there! We looked out over the mountains as we sang and felt our Almighty right there with us...no frills or extras...just believers praising their Maker. After a Sunday dinner prepared by our wonderful Haitian cooks , we took off on a hike to a waterfall. Talk about breathtaking!!!! The walk took us down to the riverbed and back to the waterfall. We were all in awe of the size of the mountains as we approached and were given a window into how the Haitians live. We walked through many "neighborhoods" along the hillside and were often greeted with a smile and a "Bon Jour". As we walked along that riverbed we saw many children carrying water jugs, people bathing, and some doing their laundry and laying it out to dry on the rocks. The team now has a new appreciation for running water.
When we returned after around 2 1/2 hours,we were hot, thirsty and tired, but never too tired for babies!!! We quickly washed ourselves up with our baby wipes and powder and headed for the kids!!
This has been an incredible adventure so far and we are all eager to start VBS tomorrow! We are so thankful for our good health and pray that the children tomorrow are as excited as we are!!! Your prayers are certainly being felt here in Haiti as we are having an experience of a lifetime!! Blessings to all, Deb
