New Orphanage

After a long hot day yesterday we took it fairly easy today. We were able to go work on the new property that one of the orphanages with be built. Currently Pastor Bellande's orphanage is in a rented house and they will have to move within a year. The national church has bought a new piece of land to build a permanent home for the children.

As we drove up to the property our first glance at it was that it is a beautiful oasis. Some of the words that came to mind when we saw the propert and walked around it was, special, amazing,hidden, holy, a picture of hope, a surprise. You can just imagine children playing on the property. We spend a very hot hour cleaning and preping the land for the future building.

This afternoon we were back at the church preparing more manna packs for the next distribution. At 5 pm we attended the 4 pm crusade meeting. (talk about Haiti time!) The service wrapped up about 7:45, a bit long when you don't understand anything. Thankfully I had my own interpretor, a young man name Geraldo, he offered to take me through the sermon. It was a great message on evangelism.

Tonight we are all exhausted and will be in bed early. 

Happy Birthday Lisa!!!!
