Day 5 February 7, 20111

Today was an awesome day. It started with the sun in full blossom and clear blue sky. Things started out slowly but once we got going we cranked!  We completed the block walls, installed the sill plate and installed the cross beams. Lord willing we will raise the rafters tomorrow or Wednesday morning. We all agreed to wok an extra half day on Wednesday.

The air was filled with excitement. Many of the people from the village were there today and they were excited because the church building was really beginning to look like a church building.

We had a special time of communion inside the church. We have been working with another team from South Carolina over the last couple days. Today was their last day and their pastor did the service. We stood together with the Haitian workers, the elders of the church and the elders of the village.  In the center was a small piece of plywood, a plastic cup of juice and a few loaves of bread set on cement blocks.  After service we sang amazing grace together. They sang in Creole, we sang in English. The combined voices were a sweet fragrance to the Lord.

I can’t end without mentioning the children. There are between 30 to 50 children of them fewer than 10. They love to play with us and we love to play with them.  

I know this blog has been going for a couple of days and if you are moved to do something, I suggest you pray to take the training course and come here for a week.  There will be group coming here for a week. There will be a group coming here once a month for the next 3 years. Your life will be changed forever. Thank you all for your prayer and May God bless you.
