So my last email may have seemed a little down. I think that is because my senses are on overload- all of them. I have obviously seen things I will never forget, but I have also heard things that are equally unforgettable. Like the kids at the orphanage quoting Psalm 34- all of Psalm 34. Hearing them sing Jesus love me in English and creole. I have been able try foods this week, that to say the least are interesting, and not a staple in American cuisine. Things like goat and conche (the thing in those big seashells). I felt the hands of the kids in mine, and the arms of the kids hanging around my neck, and their hands running through my hair to see what it felt like. These kids are so amazing in how they look out for each other, but also for us. Last night in our group share time, Mr. Frank talked about one of the kids told him he loved him. Then he asked if he could pray for Mr. Frank. The next thing Mr. Frank knew, he had kids touching him all over his body and little whispers as the kids prayed for him. I heard several stories of the kids offering their food to people and being amazing hosts. They zip your backpack so none of the other kids will take anything from it. They want you to sit with them while they eat. They are amazing.
I am also impressed with El Shaddai ministries, and the impact they are making in the lives of the kids. Many of the older kids will eventually move into their pastor training program. In the meantime, they are having the Truth poured into their lives.
That is for now, just know that God is up to something in Haiti.
Love you guys, and thanks for your prayers.
