Good evening!
It is hard to believe that we woke to our last full day
of serving in Haiti. The past few days
have been quite the experience.
Friday afternoon was emotionally difficult as we visited
the General Hospital. If any of you have
seen the movie The Impossible, the hospital conditions are about the same. Considering we were able to walk in and the
nurses were happy to let us hold babies that were laying in wood cribs and
terminally sick gives you a sense of the need in this place. Many of these babies have been abandoned and
the parents who are there with children sleep under their cribs and have to
bring in their own supplies. We are so
grateful that God led us in this path to the hospital to love on children who
may never get that type of human touch again.
Yesterday was spent at the beach with some of the local
children that live near the Healing Haiti guest house. What an experience. Most of them have never been to the ocean let
alone have the freedom to just swim and play.
They were given a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch and you
could tell it was probably their best meal in a long time.
We went to church at Grace Village now and spent the
afternoon Shopping and driving to the top of the mountain for one of the most
beautiful scenic views of Haiti. Tomorrow we will deliver the Feed My Starving
children packets and then head to the airport.
We have included a picture of one of the boxes packed at Calvary this
past year which we will personally hand out to the Tent City. What a small world it really is!
Looking forward to seeing you all again and sharing our
stories. Prayers for safe travel is
requested.
