We are one tired group. While Texas is enjoying real winter conditions, we enjoyed the sun and working in 90 degree weather. It was hard work, but worth the effort. We were a lucky group since we didn't have to do that type of work everyday.
I took a picture of the tent community outside our house. It is still hard to grasp that they live in these tents. In Port-au-Prince, they seem to go on forever.
Tomorrow is the year anniversary of the earthquake. While many news articles will talk about the lack of progress in Haiti, we will remember all the lives that were lost in reverence. We will think of our friends here that work everyday to rebuild Haiti. Yes, it's slow and overwhelming. Haiti has a long way to go and the cards are stacked against them right now. But they are resilient and hard working. They have unshakable faith in God.
We know for sure that in Grand Goave at Siloe school, progress is being made and they have hope in a better tomorrow. We have faith in them and will continue to keep them in our prayers. God is working here in Haiti regardless of what you hear. We had a special good-bye with our Haitian team tonight. We learned more from them than they will ever know.
We have so much to share with you on January 19th during Wednesday night bible study. Different people will speak and we would love for you to join us. This blog was just a glimpse of our experience. Thank you for joining us on our journey. We look forward to seeing our families Wednesday night! We miss you all!
