Greetings from Haiti!
It has been an awesome, amazing, and exhausting day!
We enjoyed a great morning at the beach with the children from the orphanage. They loved playing and splashing in the water with us. They especially loved Zachary, Lukis, Hannah, and Abby! It was so fun to see the smiles! We then fed them lunch on the beach and they had quite the appetites!
This afternoon we had our first experience at VBS - teaching at the church near our guest house. It was a great afternoon - Jane estimated 100 children along with many other family members! Kim, Sally, and Abby led them in singing - we presented many songs and they sang for us as well. Our Bible story was "Daniel in the Lions Den" and we spoke to the children about the importance of prayer. We also did crafts, played games, and fed them peanut butter sandwiches and juice. They really enjoyed getting their picture taken by Patti, Sue, and Hannah --- they printed the pictures ---- and attached them to a frame to take home. Haitian children do not often have the opportunity to see themselves in pictures - so they loved it! And so did the moms :)
We ended the day in Bible study and prayer - reflecting on our theme "we are here to love." "We love....because He first loved us." We are so thankful for the opportunities this trip has given .
We love and miss you and hold you close in prayer -
the Haiti IOWAY team
