The highlight of the day was returning to the mission center early. Rene began a new tradition tonight of having the sponsored children of our team members come down to the mission center for a time of fellowship and dinner. It was an incredible blessing for everyone! We shared a meal, met some of their families and learned about their homes, sang a popular Haitian song, and prayed together. Johanna prayed in French, and a Haitian mom prayed for all of us. Even with the language barrier, we were able to create long lasting memories. We all took many pictures that we look forward to sending back to our Haitian friends when we write letters from home.
While this was going on, there was also a blood pressure clinic at the mission center. What a blessing to see so many come, and the improvement in their blood pressure and health status. We ARE making a difference for the people we are serving!
The team is a growing together in friendships, and it is a joy to make new friends as we serve our God together! What a privilege for each of us to be called to this work.
With the time change, it seems to be getting dark rather early. We were all sitting around the table talking about how late it felt when someone looked down and said "It's only 6:30?!? No way!" Needless to say, we are exhausted but exhilerated! We are looking forward to a good night's sleep before another busy day tomorrow! Thank you all for your continued prayers!
