Day two with the children was full of even more fun and
laughter. We are beginning to develop better connections with them as well as
see more of their personalities come out.
The more we spend time with them, the more we realized that it doesn’t matter
the way in which we communicate with the children but rather our actions with the
children will remember down the road. Today we had the joy of celebrating not
only one birthday but THREE birthdays! Mark on the team celebrated the big
5-0. He had the privilege of sharing
this day with two twins, a boy and a girl, who turned 2 years old. The children greeted Mark with notes. Later, he remarked how he could not think of
any other way of spending the day. It was
wonderful to see the twins dressed up.
The team is doing well with health, safety and becoming united so
quickly. We have all seemed to connect
and feel comfortable with one another which can be rare when you put a group of
11 people in a situation such as Haiti.
There is no doubt that God’s presence is among us and working within us
as well as the children and the hospital staff.
Thank you for your continued prayers.
About the photos
The first is of Mark receiving his card from one of the
children.
The second is one that the children took. We gave the kids out camera and found some
amazing pictures!
The third is of us celebrating the birthdays.
Love

The photo taken by the kids (little girl, chair and red door) is timeless and incredible, speaks volumes.
ReplyDeleteAny chance for a glimpse of the murals? A word from Miss Kate?
