Haiti Day 2 by Donna


Today we traveled to Source De La Grace School and Orphanage to give health screenings to the children in the orphanage and begin painting a kitchen.   We saw many miracles today.  This was my first time to ride in a Tap-Tap, what an experience!  I sat on the very back of the bench, out in the open, and was able to have an awesome view all around me on the drive to Source De La Grace this morning.  My hands and arms are still sore from the death grip I held so tightly on the Tap-Tap.  Once we arrived at the church, we set up the health screening stations and craft stations.  It was a lot of hard work screening the children, getting them medications and doing crafts with them. The best part of it all for me was engaging with the children and being loved on by the children.  Many of the children would grab your hand and hold on tight, grab you around your waist or neck, climb into your lap, hug you, kiss you, or even spin you around!  On the way home (Pastor Moises’ house) from the orphanage, I decided it would be better to sit further inside the Tap-Tap and enjoy a different view.  We saw God’s provision once again.  Bryce was riding in the back of a truck in front of our Tap-Tap, with his leg hanging out (as most men do).  After many gentle headings to put his leg back into the truck by the mother’s of the group, he continued to choose to leave it hanging out.  God spoke more sternly to him.  Bryce chose to put his leg back into the truck just in time, because our Tap-Tap was hit from behind!  All were safe.   The presence of God has been evident.  God continues to lead us, protect us, restore us, and bless us!
