Haiti -- Days 2 & 3

Wednesday - March 9th - 

     Today we went to the Embassador's for Jesus Children's Home, an orphanage that The Love Church of Horseheads has been supporting for decades.

     While we were there we did our children's program which consisted of a skit, balloon animals, making a wordless book bracelet and a short message.  We all had a great time loving on the children that attended.

     Got my first taste of a Haitian "super"market today too.  They are about 1/8th the size of Walmart!  =)

Thursday - March 10th -

     First experience in "waiting" (which is common on the mission field) this morning!!  We were suppose to leave for the Good Shepherd orphanage at 7, instead we left at 8 due to a flat tire.

     We performed pretty much the same routine as yesterday only with a different skit.

     We were then suppose to head to a 2nd orphanage but while we were there the Pastor got a phone call from a lady in a tent city orphanage that needed help desperately so we felt the call of God to go there instead.  If our driver had been "on time" today we wouldn't have been at Good Shepherd when that call came in!!  God is good and His timing is PERFECT!

     Upon arriving at the tent city orphanage we immediately starting loving on children and doing balloon animals and singing while Rev Earley and another man from the team went to buy them food.  The children sang to us, in English, "We're so Happy You're Here!"  

     Also, I had another great experience at this orphanage ...... I got to pee in a tent city ..... a VERY large concrete above-ground well "hidden" by bed sheets (that were blowing in the wind)!!  =)  Picture of the tent city "bathroom" is below.

     And each evening when we were done ministering out and about we would return to Heather's Home where our 10 beautiful brown haired sweeties were anxiously awaiting our return!!
