Haiti Day 2 Recap

Day two has been amazing. The Haitian people have revealed themselves to be a kind, loving, proud people. Everyone we have come into contact with have been amazing. We worked on a house most of the day. We got the roof on, and carried many, many buckets of sand/concrete mix down a difficult path. The pictures will not do it justice. The house is for Chavanes and his wife Vergela and their kids. They are incredibly hard working people who are helping considerably on the building of the house, while also doing their other chores. It was an honor to be with them and meet them We had lunch at the Baptist mission. It's not what it would seem like though. They have a whole restaurant and shop. The food has been amazing! Most of us agree we don't eat this well at home. This morning was fruit, bacon, eggs, and more. Dinner was a traditional Haitian meal: chicken, rice and beans, fried plantains, and more.

Tomorrow holds more buckets of sand and plastering of walls. We are excited about having more Haitian workers on site with us. Part of the funds raised for this trip is paying these workers salaries, which makes it even better.

God clearly has a plan for this place. It is evident that the Holy Spirit has moved in these people, some who dont even know it yet. I am thankful that he has now brought us in on this plan, and I am excited to see where it leads. Pray that God gives us a clear path that will bring Him much glory, and that we would have the courage to answer the call and follow it.

The team is in great spirits. We are from several different churches and backgrounds, and most of us have never met, but we are blessed by the amazing relationships and sense of family we already have

Your prayers are being felt, and are appreciated more than you know.
