Days 3 & 4

Power is back on and the Internet is working, so here goes.

Wednesday was our first full day. Hospitality continues to amaze us. We were greeted with breakfast before we prayed and we were off to the orphanage . Along the way, we picked up Amanda (who is from a farm town in Iowa) and her Haitian fiancé Fritz as our Interpreters. Wednesday

While driving through Les Cayes and other villages, we saw the local market as Wednesday is market day . The streets were crowded people and their cows, goats, donkeys, and horses were there for trading.

When we arrived the kids were getting their morning snack- mangoes. The kids were very excited and very willing to share. Most of us accepted their generosity. Because of the water well built by LCF, the kids are able to wash their hands and feet. We spent the day with the children playing with our hair, checking out our skin and wanting a loving touch. After we finished our bible story, the hard afternoon rain began. We ran to the classroom shelter and gave the children their animal cracker snack. The children took much pride in their coloring sheets they did and enjoyed snack waiting for the rain to subside.

When we arrived back to the guest house, we had dinner and talked about our first full day with the children and prepared for Thursday. What a great first day at St Louis de Sud!

We fell asleep last night to the sound of a generator drowning out noises. The hospitality continued as we received a hardy breakfast and we got ready to leave for the orphanage. The children were ready and excited to see us as we drove up. It rained most of the day. Travis, Michelo and Natou worked on building shelves for the kids dorms. We spent the day with the kids playing with our hair and skin. They are amazed by how different we are compared to them. The kids are very lovely and giving and
