"It seems to me that during this trip that God loves to push my limits, and then show me that how His pushing me is working to bring Him glory. One example is while laying down more of the sidewalk today, and starting to feel the heat pressing down on us. We would break, but the kids from School of Hope would come over and talk with us, and it would make everything worth it. It's awesome to see how thankful everyone is for us putting such a simple thing as a sidewalk in.
One of the coolest parts of Haiti so far was going to a big waterfall in the mountains. The area surrounding it was full of people, and it really didn't give away the usual allure that one would think of with a waterfall, but when we saw it, it was awesome! It was a welcome idea to just let the water rush over us and relax in God's creation
I've said it before, but worship with the Haitian church is an awesome experience. We had a short worship session with them tonight, and I couldn't help but be overcome by the people that showed. It wasn't as packed as Sunday, but there were still a lot of people there to experience it. I loved hearing different songs that I've known in English being sung in Creole and I pick it up because of the instrumental leads and such. But it was awesome to worship God with them, since the language barrier wasn't too bad. The best part is that we were worshiping the exact same God as them. How cool is that?
Quick side note, after the service we went to check and see if the mixer team had laid concrete down where we had built the "bays" for it. Coolest part, was seeing little kids running down the sidewalk playing and laughing. Man, it's worth it seeing their faces and playing on it
PS: I cried.....again"
