Thoughts from the VBS Camp Team :)

Hello supporters and readers alike!  Today we will be commenting on our day as a complete team, unifying our thoughts just as we have unified together over these past few days.

Things that have suprised us...
-A new snack called kaskav bread.  A harder, large 'flatbread' with delicious nutrients, seeds
-A new fruit kenip.  It's so good and fun to eat.  The children loved it for a snack!!
-That we can survive in the Haitian heat.


Moments of inspiration and awe...
-A baby girl from The Home Sick and Dying Babies matching pitch to songs being sung to her.  She would sweetly watch the person singing
-The pure joy that the Haitians have despite having nothing.
-The Haitian children singing praises to God.  It's a glimpse of angels singing in heaven.
-Worship at the 6:00 Haitian church.
-Pastor Wesley's connection with the children and God.
-Children being so excited to be OUR teachers.  I know many new words!

Humorous tales...
-Watching our interpreters dance a jig with the kids during the game time at VBS.
-A child laughing so hard when swinging that she snorted.
-Maxim's ability to get us everywhere alive :) ...and Wilson's ability to cope with sceaming women :)


Typical in Haiti...
-Honking while driving is simply a courtesy to other drivers that you are coming. (A constant sound on the roads)
-Getting a hug from anyone you meet
-Uninhibited love of Jesus
-Beautiful children yelling HEY YOU! to get our attention
