day 9

Wow, its already been more than a week since I landed in Port Au Prince. The days have flown by and I know the rest of the summer will too. God has been so good and so sweet to me its insane.

Friday we planned for camp and had a staff progressive dinner which was super fun. Its good to have some "family time" around the dinner table. As always we did highs and lows (some things never change). The night ended at the Ortiz's where we affirmed Lindsey before she headed back to the states Saturday morning.

After some Saturday camp planning, we had the opportunity to make it out to Onaville with the short term team thats here this week. Onaville was originally going to be a retirement community (an idea similar to social security) but ended up being an area of retreat after the earthquake for fear of potential tsunamis. We were basically there to play with the children and pray over the satellite campus NVM has there.

Crazy isn't it? To hold a starving child and know their name; equally life-giving and heart-breaking.

We came back to a fire in a warehouse container. It was a whirlwind of people and trucks and firefighters. But praise God, no one was hurt, the fire was put out, and the damage was minimal!

So yesterday was a heavy day to say the least. This morning we woke up and worshipped at church and yet again saw His love and grace. He is so wonderful to me. This week we will continue planning for camp and meeting with translators and proposing our curriculum to Pastor Pierre, be praying for patience and perseverance to finish this week strong!
