We are relaxing on the balcony of the guest house right now and talking about how excited we are getting to begin our VBS tomorrow. We have had many experiences here already...we have been touched by the friendliness of the GLA staff, done different projects to help out at the orphanage, held and loved on babies and worshipped in two different services both Haitian and missionary. What a blessing it was to worship with fellow Christians in an entirely different culture. This morning we sang about "lifting our eyes unto the mountains" and it was pretty amazing to be singing those words and actually be looking at "those" mountains.
We enjoyed a wonderful Haitian lunch at the main house with about 30 other volunteers. After returning to the guest house, our hosts took us to the grocery store and we were able to get yet a different taste of this culture and buy some fun things to bring home.
Our name-tags have been made, crafts and snacks prepared and stories learned. Around 9 am tomorrow morning we will walk over to the Toddler House and our VBS will begin. We ask for your prayers for the 40 children who will be coming and for us as a team. We thank you for taking time to read about our experiences and we thank God for this opportunity to serve in such an awesome way!!
Blessings,
Deb
More to come soon.....
