Days 4&5

It's been a great couple of days for our team here in Haiti. We woke up very early on Sunday to make a 2 mile hike up to Jean Claude's mountain church. The hike was arduous to say the least. We needed lots of breaks just to catch our breath and drink plenty of water. We were greeted at the top by the gracious congregation. We worshipped with them and Jim even stood up and presented a heartfelt greeting in creole. After service the people thanked us with a Haitian meal and freshly cracked coconuts.  We spent the rest of the day resting out sore muscles and enjoying time with Jean Claude and his wonderful family. 

Today we started the day with the children at the EBAC Orphanage as they sang for us some of their favorite songs. Their voices are amazing. We could have sat there all day and listened to them sing. We spent the rest of the morning tutoring the children and finishing our painting project we started on Friday.  We ended the afternoon with a homemade dinner from the missionaries at EBAC, Kathy and Alice. They have some of the most amazing stories. 

It's been a great couple of days. We plan to spend the day doing some work projects at the New Vision Children's Home tomorrow. Now to google, "how to make a book shelf."

    We cannot wait to hear about this "arduous hike"! Was it comparable to the Citadel hike and were you wishing you had donkeys to hire? ;) I hope someone has Jim's Creole message recorded and translated. What a beautiful idea and gesture! Go, Jim! So glad to hear about the time you had with Kathy and Alice and that Kenz got to meet them and can continue those conversations with Jordan now.

    We have every confidence that the bookshelves will hold books. Google won't fail you! ;) Here's hoping that your direction following skills won't either. See you all very soon.

    One more wake up...Love, Mama Fuller :D
