More pictures from the past few days

Hi!
I decided it might be good to upload some more pictures for y'all! The first one is the finished vine from Thursday's Bible School, with everyone's leaves, saying they want to grow in Jesus, and then the butterflies they made in the craft. The second and third pictures are on a walk some of us took Thursday afternoon in the neighborhood. The views of the mountains were gorgeous! The fourth picture is from the Bible School on Friday, when we gave each kid a lei and a candy necklace if they said they had Jesus in their hearts. We had a little dance party with the kids with the tambourines that they made during the craft, and then they hit the pinatas. The big kids did one pinata, and the little kids did another one. The picture I put up is of the little kids eating the candy from their pinata. The little guy with the base of the ice cream cone on his head is the one who finally broke it- I had to help him though. We all lined up and the kids came through and gave us hugs and kisses goodbye, and then sang to us. We then headed downtown and visited Sous Espwa, the CRC missionaries ministry center. They fed us lunch, and told us a little bit of what they do, and then took us further downtown to the CRC of Haiti's ministry center. The Secretary General of the CRC of Haiti, another one of the secretaries, and the guy who is in charge of the youth programs for the CRC of Haiti talked to us for a little bit and shared with us more about the CRC in Haiti. It was fascinating to hear, and it made many of us realize how much we take our churches for granted. They are struggling with very serious stuff in their churches, like teenage sexual behavior and voodoo practices, while we are often concerned with unimportant things in our churches, such as the speed of songs, etc. They were very honored to have us there, which was very cool to see. On our way back to GLA, Zach King, one of the CRC missionaries here, took us to Boutelier, a place where you can look out and see the entire city of Port-au-Prince. It was pretty hazy, so none of our pictures do it justice, but we also took a group picture here, and that's the last picture I uploaded! (I should say, I uploaded the pictures in this order, but I don't know if they will actually post in this order. I'm sure you'll be able to figure it all out which picture I'm talking about)
Blessings!
Kristin
