Day 6

Day 6
Thank you for all the prayers for health.  Our team was all back and able to go out in the field today.  I wouldn't say we're all 100%, but well enough to serve!
Today started a little bit different for me.  It was the first day that I was awakened with thoughts of home and really missing and wanting to be there.  It's Saturday, and Saturdays are always the best!  Snuggle time, breakfast with the family, the good old Target run, and church!  However, it was another great day in Haiti!
Today started with two water truck runs, delivering water to Cite Soleil.  Our first stop today was at a stop that we had earlier in the week.  It was really nice to be back to a familiar place- the young boy that I previously talked about was there, and he hung out with me again.  He introduced me to his father today- I really wanted to just take him home.  When I left the sight, tears just filled my eyes as he was standing there waving and blowing me kisses.  The next stop was new, and busy.  It's just amazing how Healing Haiti delivers clean water for free to these people.  Water is such a necessity, yet it's so hard to get for the people living in the Cite Soleil for free.  I am honored to be able to serve and bring water to these people and play with the children.
Our final stop for the day was at the orphanage for the sick and dying children.  I spent the whole visit holding the young girl I spent time with at the last visit.  I could hold her forever.  She is 15 months and is so fragile.  She literally is all skin and bones.  She is another one I would love to take home and provide nurishment.  Oh, my heart just breaks leaving her.
What a week it has been, I am thankful for all the experiences that I have had.  It's been truly life changing and so rewarding.  Our God is so great!

My closing verse today:  Psalm 107:1 "Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever."
