Monday

Holy cow are we tired!!! We have had a full day, from morning till night. What an experience this trip has been and it is only day three. This morning we woke early to have a devotion with some of the Haitian workers on the compound. We listened to Gestave read scripture in Creole, not knowing what he was saying you could still feel the passion for Christ pouring out of his soul, it was beautiful!

Afterwards we went to this medical clinic on the compound and starting filling up wheel barrels full of mud that had been a result of the hurricane and storms of late. We pressure washed until all the mud was gone.

Global outreach has an elderly feeding program that they host here once a week and people walk from miles around to get a temporary supplement of food. Most of these Haitians eat for a week on this rice, protein, oil, garlic, and cheese package.....the people were very skinny and looked desperate for food, they all had gentle smiles on their faces as they would take the handouts.

We then went to a church about 15 miles from the compound where we painted until about 4:30 or so. Most of the time we were there, a church service was going on in the front of the sanctuary. All the people were singing beautiful hymms while we worked and we heard the Haitians preaching and praising God, (totally awesome)! It was a very interesting day, and a productive day. We have a really good crew here, and the missionaries are awesome.

After dinner we had another devotion with the Headys and we were able to hear David's testimony, and the story of how God called them to the mission field, a very miraculous story.

Well off to bed, excited about what God has planned for tomorrow! Thank all of you for your prayers and support. We can't wait to tell you all of the things we have seen down here, and how God is working in Haiti. Miss you all.

Love,
Nic
