Jesus Is A Fisher Of Men

Today we all  kenneled up in our tap tap!!  Sometimes called our play pen!!  We spend a lot of time in there worshiping & bonding with each other and our wonderful guides that take us and watch over us at all times!!  They are such awesome uniquely, wonderful people!  Serving us, being the hands and feet of Jesus in Haiti!!    We rode  to Gertrude's, a home for handicap children, where we spent some time loving, ministering and playing with some children who stole our hearts and as much as we went there to spread joy to them.  There was joy in each of our hearts as we rode away thinking of the joy that was on their faces, as we played with them.
From there we drove down to the Caribbean to play  in the water a little to  cool off, a break on the way.   What a breathe taking beautiful site!!  The water is a bright blue with mountains in the background!  Wow!   While we were there a boat with fisher men put out their net.  And we got to help them  pull it in!!  An experience we will remember forever!!   It was a net just like the nets that the disciples used when Jesus walked by and called out to them to "come and, follow me!"
We then went on our way up the mountain a ways to an outside market to get some food to take to visit the elders!  Some elderly people who Healing Haiti has reached out to help them care for themselves.  We went to  some very simple dwellings. Where we were able to visit and pray and worship with them!!   How truly we are blessed to meet them!!  We have been touched by God as we reach out to touch them!  It was a long hot ride back to the guest house!  But we didn't get stuck in traffic this time!!   The pool was refreshing after the awesome supper served by the Haitian women who take care of us at the house.  They cook us awesome meals and wash our clothes when we need them to, the Haiti way...by hand.   God bless them!!
The sights we see on our journey are etched in our minds and hearts as we ponder on our short time left here!!   We would love to stay longer!!  Stay tuned for lives changed!!  And God's future purpose and vision being fine tuned in all of those who are here on this trip!!  Be patient as we come back into the states with the culture shock of how we just saw life and how we live life in our homes in America!!!   See you all soon!!   We love you!   We love Haiti!
