Inspiring

Today was a great day.  We got to see some kids from Cite Soliel attending school at Elders School.  The most amazing part was that we know for certain some of the are the same kids whom we were playing with on Tuesday while delivering water.  It brought our team so much joy to see the hope they had at this school. All dressed up in dresses/uniforms - they looked like so beautiful.  Then, the Elderly visits.  Anyone who has had the opportunity to meet these amazing people can share in the inspiration we felt from them.  Living in conditions that words can not describe, their joy and faith had  an incredible impact on every team member.  Why do thing keep getting flipped around on us?- we think we are coming to serve them, yet we leave feeling like they have given us so much more!!  Then we had the chance to get a short tour of Grace Village.  The school at Grace Village just opened  a couple weeks ago and we had chills as we walked down the hall and saw "class in session".  This may have been the most emotional day for our team as we have now seen incredible poverty/despair earlier in the week, followed by seeing so much hope.  Really a lot to process.  God is working in amazing ways here in Haiti.  Such a privilege to see and experience it first hand...
