We had another great and busy day in Haiti. Our theme at VBS was about Lazarus being raised from the dead and God being all that we need in life. We were again amazed to hear the children singing their hearts out to God and reciting verses by memory. It is so rewarding to spend time with such joyous and appreciative kids!
After wrapping up VBS and getting a taste of Haitian culture at the local market, we all had a challenging yet rewarding afternoon. Half of the group went to The Home for Sick and Dying babies, while the other half went to Gertrude's, an orphanage for children with special needs. At The Home for Sick and Dying Babies, we found joy in helping feed and change the babies while at Gertrurdes, the children enjoyed tastes of suckers and wheel chair races.
We ended our great day with Haitian tacos and some great conversation ( With 11 ladies, you know it was a good hour or two of chatting). We are excited to see what tomorrow holds for us.
