Haiti. Day 10. (which was Thursday.)

Well, as you can see, it's been wet. Before Bonnie became a hurricane, she hung out over Haiti for awhile...she was depressed, and just couldn't seem to get herself moving for the last few days. 

So, on Thursday, instead of being able to do VBS under the shelter of the tiki hut due to all of the water and mud surrounding the tiki hut, they decided to do it on Leonie's front porch, which is where the girls stay.

Tom and I had to make a gravel "bridge" for them to even get from the driveway to some higher ground in order to make it to the porch.

Below you can see most of the children with their chairs on their front porch. I have some video of the boys carrying their chairs down and if I can post it, I will. The older ones always help the younger ones, but the younger ones never ask for help and always try to do it on their own.

Below you will see Sarah's completed "Breastplate of Righteousness."

Tom posted video on Facebook of the kids singing...it's beautiful if you get a chance to listen.

After VBS, we stopped at the market to pick up a few things for lunch. Israelson picked up his favorite, Cheetos, and Adrianne and Julie were so excited to purchase 1 apple each! Produce is so expensive here....having fruit or vegetables at even one meal a day is a luxury. Soon, we will have the land cleared to plant some vegetables for the orphans and the family. Already they have planted corn, peanuts (they make their own peanut butter!), tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and what appears to be some type of squash to me, but no one is quite sure.

 

Last night Ketura, Tom, Adrianne and I went salsa dancing again. Adrianne is getting to be good. As is Tom. There is no dancing hope for me. I do not have the spiritual gift of dance.

Have a great night! Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to post today's photos (had a God sighting!), and maybe even do tomorrow's too! That would be awesome!
