I have had an amazing time being here. The children smile all the time and they brighten your day. I really enjoyed going to church yesterday. Even though I didn't know what they were saying, it was still cool to think that God does know what they are saying. It was fun to praise God with them and to see how much joy they have with so little. God has really helped me to see how much I have and how little they have. I am so blessed. I have really enjoyed being on this trip and playing with the kids.

Today is the first day of VBS and we have around 400 kids. Yes, 400. We thought we were over preparing when we thought 300. It is great to see so many children. All are eating now and then we will begin the afternoon session. Pray that the children will lean of Jesus' power today and tomorrow. The team is really doing great with the children and working through the language barrier. It is great to see and all of you would be proud of them.
Yesterday we gave another 30 water filters to church members. All were surprised as to why they were called back to the church in the afternoon. All were very thankful for the filters. During the filter training, the youth of the church met and several from our team were able to share their testimonies and one of the local youth shared also. Both youth groups shared from their life experiences.
Evening church was fun. We did a series of skits to invite the kids to VBS. It was very funny and the congregation laughed hard. The team sang several songs and Pastor Nate preached. It was a great service.
We are tired this afternoon after the busyness of the morning, but all are doing well and loving the time here in Haiti. I am glad we could get an update to you today.
