Devotions with Singing & Clapping

April 29, 2014 Posted by HATS Visitors 4 Comments

This morning we woke up and went over to the school to do devotions with the children, lots of singing and clapping! It was truly amazing to experience such joy and passion in worshiping Jesus!

After devotions we came back to the compound to eat breakfast, pancakes and lots of fresh fruit!! We then bagged rice,beans and cornmeal to give out to the community.

During the children’s break at school we went over to meet and play with the children, it was overwhelming to interact with them and see their reactions to us. Our eyes filled up with tears and a part of our hearts will always be here.

It was heartwarming to be able to feed the preschool children their lunch and see their faces fill up with big smiles.

Afterwards, Karen took us into Verettes to go to the pharmacy. We rode in the bed of the truck, it was refreshing to feel the nice breeze as we drove as it’s very hot and humid!

After lunch we had a mango eating contest Erika ate 3 and Emily ate 5… the winner was JJ with 12!!  We are definitely all enjoying the fresh mangoes!

Four kinds of mangos for the contest

After cleaning up we all took a walk down the canal.. we are all very exhausted and are looking forward to getting a good nights rest!  Can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow, as we are feeling very blessed to have this experience!

    Good blog. I am a little jealous of your mango eating contest, they are never ripe when we go and I love them. It must have been very refreshing to ride in the back of the truck on a hot humid day! The students are always welcoming to visitors and fun to be around for their break. Enjoy each day!

    Thanks for the post! You are greatly outnumbered at recess time, but it looks like it would be wonderful. I haven't been in Haiti for 16 years but I remember the joy of freshly fallen mangoes.

    God Bless!
