Haiti Day Four

Today we all piled into a school bus with our translators named "Special K" and "Johnny Fresh." We drove down to Mesaye for a village ministry with our group. Although there was barely a breeze today, we were grateful that the town was so shady. We split up into two groups  and stopped at some of the houses. We talked to some of those living in the houses and prayed  for their spoken needs relayed through the translator. We had the chance to pump water for a woman and were amazed at the people carrying the buckets on their heads. Later we stopped for lunch back at one of the mission campuses before heading back to the village to play with the children. We spent an afternoon playing soccer, holding kids, and playing several games with the village children. When we returned to the campus we had dinner and headed off to a worship service at the nearby church where we sang songs. Some of us from the team struggled to stay awake :) Overall, our day was filled with learning from the village people and learning how to appreciate all that we have been blessed with. Looking forward to returning tomorrow!
