Yesterday, we had the privilege of going to church with Fr. Alexis twice! We were just amazed at how universal praising and worshipping God is! You can adore Him in any language with people of any culture!
We also visited the health clinic in Liancourt that needs help with funding to finish the construction. The dedication and vision of Vania, the nurse who has given her life savings to this dream of hers to help her people is so incredibly inspiring! We felt blessed to be a part of it!
Our Sunday evening concluded with a very festive time playing games with our friends!
On Monday we awoke to children playing in the school yard. Such joy in these little faces so eager to touch our white skin. Their giggles and laughs would melt anyone's heart.
We then headed to Faith in Action's tree nursery to help with planting fruit trees. It was humbling working beside the Haitians. They were not affected by the heat as we were. We were grateful for their joyous singing to help our task go quickly. We are meeting so many friends and making so many relationships!
After lunch we headed up into the mountains to one of our favorite places - Te Rouge! Here we colored with the children and the adults! We were so surprised that so many of the older people wanted to color with us. The feeling up there was one of unity with each other. We were all joined in playing and singing. ALL of the people joined together. It was awesome to see the elderly women dancing and getting into the festivities.
What an amazing place!!! We were taken aback when one of the women didn't know who she was when shown the picture on the camera that we had just taken of her. But the joy in their simple lives touched us more than anything! Again we realize how much we have and how little they have. But who really has more?
God bless!
