Day #6 & 7

Hello from Haiti!

Yesterday, we went about our normal routine until lunch. Us women/girls went to help out at the Kids Club again. We sang songs, read a story, and played some games with the kids. Jordie is feeling better and was back in the program lol. In the evening, we had the opportunity to look through and buy some souveniors to take back home with us. Then we ate a delicious dinner and visited until it was time to call it a day. It was my dad's turn to entertain Carson (haha) so my dad ended up with painted fingernails and Carson had a painted face and a backhoe painted on his arm lol. Pictures to show later!

Today, we got as dressed up as this humidity allows, and headed off to church for 9:30am. We all crammed onto little benches that would comfortably seat maybe 4 people per bench, with 6 of us. It was a hot couple of hours haha. We could recognize a couple of songs that were in Creole, but it was difficult to sing it in English with about 500 people around you, singing it in Creole or French lol. It was amazing to see the size of the large congregation.
After church, we all headed back to the guest house to change and get ready to head off to the beach. We all managed to pile onto and into a 5-seater truck. At the beach, we ate a very large/delicious meal of either our choice of chicken or fish. With our tummies full, the board of directors from the clinic, gave us a special thanks for the work done in Haiti and the partenership we share. We are equally as thankful.

On that note, we all headed into the water and dodged the oncoming large waves. After a while in the water, we headed back to the shore to dry off. Then, it was back into/onto the truck for the trip back to the guest house. We are currently ending the day by eating popcorn, playing some card games, and visiting. Our prayers are with those back in Breton with the loss of Layne and those involved in the car accident.
