Haiti Day 6

Jan 2nd, 2008 by Joe Pelli

This morning we were supposed to meet the guy and his family at the mission but he never showed. I waited an hour and then went late to VBS to help the guys. After VBS we went to the radio station to see if we could broadcast again but Jose wasn’t there. We ended up finding him in the street and he invited us to come tomorrow. Then we headed to the market to find bibles to give to our new friends but couldn’t find any. When we came back we rested and journaled and cleaned for a bit. Then we took the drugs to the mission before going to the soccer field. We made a few friends but mostly got taunted by the older guys because we were silly and white looking (blan) and didn’t know the language. It’s ok though, I think it just comes with the territory. When we left the soccer field we came back and got ready for the last bible study. This was a special time because we brought all of our candles and lit them in the church. It provided a great atmosphere to wash the feet of our Haitian Friends. It was a really special time and most of the guys were fighting tears. After we washed their feet and prayed Paul played guitar and we all sang for at least an hour after it was over. It was sweet time with the Lord and the guys.
