Another sunny morning has arrived - and as we wipe our brow we are thankful. We climbed out of bed when the rooster crowed the 8,754 time. While a few formed an assembly line and made toiletry bags to distribute to the people at church - others made pancakes to jump start our need to supply energy for the day. We totally forgot it was Mother's Day until Jim sent an email wishing us a great day. There is no shortage of children to love - so we will be able to do what we do best in honor of the day. NO ONE can ever replace the love we have for our own children at home who each of us miss.
While we have had so many laughs, which we really should journal, our chats about our "walk" wi
th Him is what feeds us. Isn't it funny how we think others have it all together, only to be reminded we are all stummbling goof balls, trying to find our way. We are in the process of taking our "bucket baths" and putting on our "church dresses." We are going to begin our first lesson of ESL this afternoon and are excited to see how it is received by the girls. I would say we are definitely in the "swing" of Haiti and everyone is adapting like true missionaries.
Cathy shared this morning that after Marie said last night that Bush, Clinton nor Obama have brought any notable change, she kept hearing over and over in her mind, "If not us, who?" What do we do from here?
