Two Weeks!

I cannot believe it, but yes I have been in Haiti for 2 weeks already! The time is just flying by!

Yesterday we taught the moms and kids about prayer. We compared our Father to our earthly fathers. Stacie asked the girls if they want something, do they call their dad papa or papi? Of course, when we really want something we call our dads, daddy or papi in Creole! That's the same way we should approach our Daddy God all the time! He wants to give us His desires for our hearts (Psalm 37:4). That does not mean that He will always give us what we want, but He promised He would meet our NEEDS! We taught them it is okay to ask things from God believing He will do it. We encouraged them to pray all the time, and not to just some big blue sky, but to our Creator! Be praying that this message sinks in!

The classroom that the kids use has been upgraded! Pierre, the main dad in the community, hand braided tree leaves for walls and a roof! They are put in place, and provide wonderful shade!! It looks SO GOOD!! He also placed a tarp over an area in front of the house, so we can all sit and enjoy each others company in the shade!!

I have to share this funny story...after we finished with the lesson, we had some free time before the food was ready. Stacie asked Falto (the little boy who got the jump rope on Wednesday) to go get his jump rope, so we could play with it. He told Stacie that he had sold the jump rope! Some people would be upset that this little boy went and sold the jump rope that they brought for him, but he is so cute that no one could stay mad at him! But I also have to give him credit for being a little 6 year old business man! Get something for free, and turn around and sell it to make money to buy food!

It rained again today! The rain has been such a blessing because the land is so dry, but also because it cools the earth off!

In three days the team comes, and my Mama is coming!! :)

Blessings and Love!
