Great Day in Desire- hey that rhymes (I should use it in a rap)

So the last time I was down here in Haiti was March with a Spring Break team.  We have our high school student team here this time and it was so fun to see the Desire kids respond to this new team- many having come for one or both of the previous last two years.  One student shared her highlight of the day being that the kids remembered her name from last year.  Think about that for a minute- that is no small, insignificant thing.  When you come to Haiti, you come and make friends, good friends.  The kind that when you spend a handful of days, the impression you leave is that you cared enough to come in the first place and 52 weeks later they really remember you as if you were here just last week.

We come to minister for the week and many times we get a surprise when it's us who are being ministered to by these precious orphan children.

We have caught up on our sleep and and just spent our first full day in Desire teaching baseball, sharing a Bible story and making puppets for a craft (oh, and rapping on the bus).  I've been here with many teams over the years and one thing is certain, one or two of our activities don't go as planned.  In fact, there are times when they flat out bomb.  Well today was an exception to that reality.  It doesn't mean it won't happen tomorrow or the next day.  It just means that everything executed well with this team and it was fun to celebrate that together tonight.  Tomorrow we get to worship in Desire as Pastor Steve is going to give a message.

The team is doing well and having a lot of fun together and more importantly serving well in Desire.  Enjoy the photos!
