Sunday and Monday

Sunday, we woke up and went to a Haitian church. Nicolas is the pastor that gave the sermon. He preached about restoration starting with the Word of God. It was awesome. After that, we went to Upper Room orphanage to meet the kids. On the way, we were greeted with about 10 of them on our bus. They are precious. We got to see the house where they live. The house belongs to a man named Joseph and his wife. They house 26 orphans from a storm before the earthquake, the earthquake, and now four more whose parents have died of cholera. We will get to go back to the orphanage a few more times throughout the week, and we really look forward to getting to know the kids better. Jesus is so clearly evident in them. From there, we went to a tent village and saw a cholera clinic (thankfully with no patients). After that, we ate lunch and went for a bus ride all around Port Au Prince to see the earthquake damage. It was overwhelming, but eye opening at the same time.

Today, we started work on the orphanage that the Lord is building. Our team came together and did a great job helping out the Hatians who have already started the construction. It was a hot and long day, but the Lord blessed us with generally good weather and great cooperation. Tomorrow, we work at the site again. Be praying for continued good weather, our team's health in the heat, the awesome Haitians we are working with, and the orphans.
