Sorry for the delay again. I'm sure many of you have checked this multiple times today looking for an update. We actually wrote and had everything ready to post last night but a storm came through and we lost our internet connection. Just got it up and running - so here is our post from yesterday. Tonight we will have a late night as we start our leadership academy. We will do our best to get your updated late tonight. We miss all of you and hope all is well back home.
We started our journey today (yesterday) with an adventurous ride to la
Hatte. After arriving, we walked through
the community to invite children to VBS.
The Haitian children just grabbed our hands and followed us through the
village. After praying to God about
loving on the children, Brianna was the first to guide a child to VBS. We visited a park on our walk, and listened
to stories of those in the community.
Deanna carried a little girl to the church because her leg had been
amputated. Once we were back to the
church, Lyn met a little boy who was a sponsored child of Ben and Tina
Ruetz. The joy on his face when she told
him about his Mission Possible family was amazing. Games were played, flip flops were decorated,
and beautiful songs were sung by all of us.
But more importantly relationships were built between Mission Possible
and the children at la Hatte. Amy picked
up a child when crying, and she immediately stopped. The young boys at VBS loved playing with
Enoch, Grant, and Reid. Our time here in
Haiti has been blessed by God. He has
shown us beauty in a lot of devastation.
After returning from la Hatte, we painted a fence in the mission
center, and swam in the ocean. Andy,
Ben, Deanna, Reid, Grant, and Enoch presented to the pastors and school
administrators. They were surrounded by
these leaders at the end of the conference to give them encouragement. They sang and prayed for the presenters. God is at work, and using all of us to show
his power and glory!
