Our week can be summed up with the words painting, planning, and playing!
Andrew, Mitchell, Katie, and I worked on cleaning out an outdoor kitchen area at the Tlucek's that was being used to store trash. The boys got rid of the trash and powerwashed/scrubbed the room down. Then Mitchell and I, with the help of Katie, painted the walls and cabinets. It turned out pretty cute!

English Camp starts next week and the last few days have been full of busy preparation for the next six weeks. There are 70 kids coming to learn English and hear the Word of God with crafts, music, games, sports, and story time.
I won't be around for the first week because I get to shaddow an OB/GYN coming here for a week to see all of the women in the women's program. We're also planning to do house visits with the women to get a better idea of who they are and what their needs are.
Last but not least, we've been playing with the kids at the orphanages. I also got to visit Three Angels today after church. Thanks Megan for giving me a ride!

Mitchell and I made it safely to Haiti early Wednesday morning. We're staying at Byron and Shelly's house. The Tluceks have lived in Haiti for three years and are a part of Heartline Ministries. They head up the orphanages. There is a team here from Indiana consisting of 30 or so people, mostly teenagers and young adults. They taught nanny classes at the girls home while other team members led a VBS for all of the kids over at the boys home. Other team members did various jobs around different locations of the ministry. Mitchell and I have been tagging along helping out where we can. Byron and Shelly have been providing meals for the team, so we've been helping out with that too. Yesterday we passed out food, clothing, and shoes to a couple hundred people in a town outside of Cite Soleil. It was overwhelming toward the end when food ran out and people were swarming the gates. But we had some awesome security guards and a pretty powerful Guard, uh God, on our side. Some nerves were rattled, but other than that it went smoothly. This morning we went to church and enjoyed proclaiming the name of Jesus with people of many ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

| First Stop |
I drove down to Coarsegold, California (near Yosemite) to see Angela and Judah. We had a wonderful time relaxing and playing. On Monday Ranger Ralph (Angela's dad) showed us around Yosemite National Park. I spent the day with Angela's parents, Angela, Judah (Angela's daughter), and some friends from their church. The park is breathtaking! God must of had fun designing that one. I enjoyed seeing large pieces of exposed granite, waterfalls, giant sequoia trees, the Merced river, and many other natural beauties. But best of all I enjoyed spending time with my dear friend. It was great to see her again. It was also great to hang out with Judah. We've shared some rough, but equally amazing times together. I'm so thankful the Lord blessed me with such a precious gift! |
