Our third day

Dear friends and family,
Our third day here continues to provide us lasting memories. We continued to work on our respective projects and are finding fulfillment in our progress. Several team members have mentioned the joy of laboring for God and how it keeps you mind off of the heat, fatigue, and impatience. Many of us also took time today to play with the kids at recess. It was a blast!  The kids love cameras, and playing with us on the swings, and climbing on our shoulders, and even just holding hands.  They are a pure joy to be around.

Half of the team also walked a mile to the nearby village of Chambrun. There, we saw first-hand the reality and poverty of village life. We also visited the NVM children's home established there and played and held the kids.

Every night, after dinner, we also hold evening worship and small group reflection. This is a wonderful opportunity to thank God for the time we had that day, and to share our thoughts with others. It also helps each one of us begin to process the experiences we had, and to see how God is working.

Until tomorrow, we wish you many blessings from Haiti!
