Monday night post.
So, let's go back to Saturday. We had an unbelievable experience delivering mango and avacado trees in the mountains. The drive up was the most exciting that probably all of us have ever had - except maybe John and Chase's while bear hunting. The view from where we were was spectacular. When we arrived, we were met by a whole crowd of Haitian children anxiously awaiting to announce our arrival to the rest of the village people. While the first group waited for the second, we were able to interact with the children. From blowing bubbles and coloring to Kam's juggling act and soccer with a mango, we experienced an overwhelming realization that even though these kids had absolutely no material possessions, they had insurmountable joy exploding from them. They were amazed at the bubbles Megan was blowing with them. They were both patient and excited about the crayons and paper Terri was passing out. They were wide-eyed when Kam juggled rocks. And they ran down to the road when they heard the "machine" coming up the trail with the second group of us and more trees
