An emotional day, full of God's glory

Morning started the same way as other morning routines for me, with a prayer over Alex. Seem like he was doing somewhat better, but I could not get too comfortable yet. Kids went back to school after the 2 day Holiday, so I was at the bus to see them off as well. Tim and I worked on the spare bases for the pews. It was also first day that the hardware store was open, so off getting supplies I went.

Upon my return, Miriam had a list for me already, just in case I was bored. I had to measure the the attached property that was bought earlier this year and go over conceptual lay out on that property. Also, Miriam gave me a long list of building supplies for one of the buildings planned for the main property. This was a bit harder challenge on the surface since the store would not give quotes over the phone. However, Frantzy was able to get an email address that he was told, we would able to get a price. Would you believe that even in Haiti, in few hours I had a full quote for the prices!

At noon, what a surprise, Miriam came out with Alex! He was very alert and “alive”. He even managed to put a lollypop in Miriam’s hair (I was able to get it out). What a great sight this was. God is really great!

After the kids got back from school, we reassembled at the church so we could record some of the songs that we practice day before. This was another task that God teaches patience! All the girls had to change and get them selves ready, so you can imagine, all I could do is wait! Our recording went long, I missed dinner at 5:00 pm and got to eat after 8:00pm. 

This experience turned out very emotional to me, as one of the recordings I did was of Iranes, he wanted to sing to me (he has never sang before, only the girls). First of all, all songs that I recorded were original songs that he written. In his performance he was praising God and thanking Him for all that he has. This is a 29 year old that is legally blind, has been at the orphanage since he was 2 years old and seem that only two things that he has to his possession is a keyboard and a small hand held recorder which I got for him. I have to admit that his song moved my heart. I was able to post that song on Facebook last night. So if you are interested in hearing the song that Iranes sings, please visit my Facebook page (Bill Plaza) and read his bio at www.newlife4kids.com under the sponsor a child. May your heart be moved for Iranes and the other 130 kids at this orphanage.
