Haiti day 2 by Bracey Dyer

Today was Wednesday June 5th, we all woke up around 7:15 then waited around
for about thirty minutes before eating breakfast. For breakfast they made us muffins, pineapple, bannanas, bread, ham, and cheese. After breakfast we all got ready and piled all twelve people in my group in nine person car. Then we head off to the orphan home. When we first got there all the orphans we all at school so we started to clean up the back yard to make it suitable for all of the kids to play safely in their yard. Before all the kids clothes were just laying out on rocks, trash all over the yard and tall weeds everywhere. First we started by moving rocks and placing them in a better way so that they could have a flat and neater way to dry they're clothes, then we started picking up trash and pulling weeds. As soon as i knew it the yard was already looking a whole lot better. By then it was noon and all the kids were getting back from school, right when they saw us they all got really excited and ran up to us with smiles on they're faces. Just seeing that put a smile on my face. We gave them candy, coloring books, crayons, markers, soccer balls and jump ropes, they were all very excited. Our translator Jonah told all of the kids to sing us songs and that was very cute. After playing with the kids for a while i got hungry and decided to eat one of the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that ther girls made for us the night before. Around two we had to leave. All Twelve of us squished into that car once again and drove back. When we got back everyone showered and rested in the air conditioning until it was time to get ready for church. Once five O'Clock came around we all got in the van and went to church. As soon as the vans doors opened at church i could hear the church band playing and the singing was beautiful. I wasnt really sure what they were saying since i do not speak the same language. About five minutes into church i started sweating because it was so hot, about ten minutes after that i looked down and realized my whole shirt was soaked in sweat, thank God just a little bit after that a man brought out some fans and then i was fine. When Josh walked up on stage i was suprised because i was not aware that he was going to be preaching tonight. I thought Josh did an awesome job and also thought it was really cool that he had the oppotunity to do that. Overall i thought the church service was really cool, one thing that was weird though was instead of greeting people like we do at the beginning of church they all turned to their neighbor and shook there hand goodbye and then left. Then we all came back to the house and caden did his devotional and talked out Jesus feeding the four thousand. Then we had a awesome dinner that consisted of chicken, rice, spicy slaw, and fried plantains. After dinner i took another shower because of how much i sweated at church. Then the pastors kid came up to me and asked me to play uno with him while i was in the middle of this blog. Now he is currently playing uno with Josh, John, and Liz.
