It was sad to go to a school for the last time this week in
Haiti. I helped lead music today. The children at this school only had half of
a day with us, and it was one of this school’s first times having Vacation
Bible School with Mission Possible. The children here seemed a little shy but
extra sweet. During music, I witnessed children sing to God with such joy,
volume, and meaning that I do not often see. It was sad to say goodbye to the
translators that we had this week. They feel like family. We are blessed to
have seen so many children this week who are very genuine. I think a lot of us
would say that we came to pour into children’s lives but they poured into our
lives so much. Yesterday, my book bag fell down a hill into a stream of water
and a little boy rushed to get it for me. Would you be willing to care for strangers
this way in your everyday life? Something that had stood out to me this week is
that I am amazed at how much love can be shown and felt on both ends, with
barely a word spoken. Today we also had the blessing of getting to attend a
Haitian wedding. We got pretty wet in the rain, but it was
still beautiful. On the truck ride back, our group sang our hearts out to
worship songs. See you all soon, and please pray for safe travels tomorrow!

Elisabeth had the privilege of taking pictures at the wedding for the couple. As you can see in the next picture, many other people also took on the role of "photographer" ;) The bride and groom are somewhere under that tent!
We got completely soaked, but it made such a great memory!! What a great way to end our week together!
