We were out the door a little before 6am to worship with the Haitians this morning. Pastor Gary even flipped onto English from time to time. Music we sing at home! AWESOME!
Today we sorted our supplies into bags and went to a tent village right behind us. It is hard to explain the living conditions. Tarps....tin...dirt...rocks...small...smelly...crowded...hot.
Food delivery and other donations was orderly at first...but then it got chaotic. Desperate people. We hope we got most of the tents..but it is hard to know where you missed as they all look alike.
We also delivered medical supplies to nurses at a hospital. We had water to deliver to patients and a care packages. Each bag had a beanie baby in it, which the children liked. There were some really sick babies. Heartbreaking.
When we returned to the guest house, the 'athletic' among us played soccer with the neighborhood kids. Fun. We had Coke shirts for them, which they loved, and we gave them each a bag of donated items and Feed My Starving Children food.
Our team shares honestly and I can see God tugging on our hearts. We definitely are here for a reason...and I think it is more than serving these dear people in Haiti
