Day two in beautiful Haiti.
Everything has been running smoothly.
After eating spicy scrambled eggs (yummy!) for breakfast, five of us
headed for the teacher’s school to teach our 5 seminar sessions. I had a great time with my classes
today. We were studying probability and
doing some “hands-on” experiments. Each teacher was given a penny and they had
to flip it 50 times and record their results.
What fun they had! It was a very big learning experience for them. I encouraged them to begin doing these kinds
of activities in their own classrooms.
That is something they seldom do because they have never seen it
demonstrated. It was very fulfilling to
give them tools to use to improve the education here in Haiti. God has been with us each step of the way. It has been so nice to meet new people,
connect with some from previous years, and also watch how God is using the
young people that are with us. What a
great group they are. We have had some
very good devotions at night, along with a little rain. I am looking forward to the rest of the week
to see what all God has planned.

Hi all, this is Claudia! Beautiful isn’t enough to describe
this trip so far. We have gone to two of the schools so far and they both have
been wonderful, from racing the kids to the other side of the courtyard, to singing
to our Abba at the top of our lungs! Also, I met the sweetest little girl today
in Degeance: my sponsor girl. God made our first meeting perfect! After the
team hiked up to the school, we gazed upon the main classroom and saw three
children standing there on the outside. I noticed the little girl standing in
between the two boys kind of looked similar to the picture of my sponsor girl.
But immediately I began to doubt that it was her because of there being a lot
of little girls at the school. I talked to some of the team and someone told me
to go ask her what her name is. I proceeded to ask her and she said the name
that I was looking for: Dashna! I was shocked and overjoyed all at the same
time. She was my buddy for the rest of the camp, and I couldn’t have asked for
a more beautiful meeting with my beautiful girl! Also, I met one of my best
friends one year ago today! So to celebrate we listened to our song, Fierce by
Jesus Culture. God is so good, all the time! Isaiah 55:9 Love you all!
