Hey everyone, it’s Moriah here!
‘The days have been long while the week has gone way too fast!” –Taylor. I have
been able to touch up on a lot of my French while talking to the kids because
French is similar to creole. Every school we visit they have the sweetest kids.
Watching them play with the little things like balloons, bubbles and a soccer
ball brings me so much joy. Today we went to Saint Marc and I instantly made
friends with this little boy named Alevio. Every time I would see him across
the room he’d smile and wave. I was a group leader today and the Alevio helped
me out so much and would never leave my side. When you would walk by the kids
they would just want to touch and love on you. Even when I couldn’t understand
what they were saying they would just start singing, sometimes teaching me
their songs. I just enjoy everything about Haiti, like seeing where the
mountains touch the ocean and all the beautiful people. I am so thankful for
all the translators and their personalities. Although we’re all very thankful
for Dorie and everything she has done for us with Creole. I miss my family and
friends back home! Please keep us in your prayers!
-Love Moriah
Last night
we went to a church service at Saint Marc, which was indescribable, and then
today we headed back there for camp. During the church service last night, two
little girls sat on Lisa’s and my laps, and today I got the opportunity to see
them again, which was super cool! They totally recognized me, ran up and gave
me a giant hug. Their smiles were priceless.
The view from the balcony on the church was so beautiful. You could see
the ocean and mountains, along with the rest of the town of Saint Marc. Today
during camp I was a group leader and I had the sweetest little boys and girls
in my group. At the game station, I got hit in the head with a beach ball, and
they all ran over and kissed it and made sure I was okay. Later in the day, my
shoe was untied and one of the little girls ran over and started to tie it for
me with the biggest smile on her face. It is so amazing how genuine and loving
the kids are. God has been working major miracles this week, and He will always
continue to do so. See you in a couple days!
