day 6

home sweet Haiti

just look at His majesty

Today's the day we started planning individual detailed lessons for English camp and to say its overwhelming is an understatement.

Often times we were left a little stir crazy after spending hours on end in the office. Sometimes we played "throw the marker and land it on the ledge under the whiteboard." Clinton knew a considerable amount concerning Expo marker trajectory.

As a lesson planning break, we decided to start putting together school kits for the kids.

We had no way of relabeling the suitcase marked with "70" school kits to make it say "58" school kits, so we improvised.

All in all, it was a successful first week of planning.

After work, we were able to go into the village of Chambrun to play with the kids and meet some of the women there. Its always bittersweet to be with those people. The children so easily give their love to complete strangers in the midst of all the brokenness. Its really an incredible picture of God's grace. He gives us joy when the world says we shouldn't be joyful.

He's shown me countless reasons He wanted me here this summer. Its so cool to see how He uses our sin to make something beautiful and breathtaking. And while I've been feeling like there's no way someone here can know me deeply in a few short weeks He gave me a sweet friend to go through life with while I'm in Haiti. I am so beyond thankful.

Also we found a ti mabouya in the office bathroom.
