an amazing day...it started with What breakfast and a lot of excitement...the group this week is a mix of last minute..yet..perfectly in His plan people here to do the final preparations at Grace Village and move in the children...We all feel so blessed and grateful to be here..what a priveledge. We drove the 45minutes thru common scenes of Haitian life...tents and huts along the road..with people cooking, walking with baskets on there heads, setting up tables of random items they have for sale. Cars and motorbikes weaving thru heavy traffic with honking and stopping continually on the rutted, beat up road. We made the last turn thru Titanyen up the gravel road. Little kids started running after us..with big smiles..and then we arrived to the beautiful gate that had Alyn's heart all over it..a purple door and the beautiful sign...Grace Village. The gate opened and we were overwhelmed..it took your breath away..the serine beauty of the mountains and ocean surrounded the haven built for the the least of the these. The buildings are full of color, warmth and comfort. In front is the playground..kids from the village come to play..it is filled with laughter. The breeze and view reminds us all day of His presence. We spend the day cleaning, unpacking, making up beds...they are so covered with love..handmade quilts, stuffed animals, art from the children, a bible for each child with their name in it...all the Glory to God..it was an amazing day!
