Water Truck Day

The mother/ daughter team headed out for water truck day in Cite Soleil.  Clean shirts, open hearts, and lots of anticipation!  Lots of words were used to describe todays adventure, but the common theme amongst the Moms was humbled and proud of each one of these little selfless servants.  Their hearts are very big! 

Megan: "While the water truck was getting filled with water I met a little girl.  I felt very very happy playing with her.  I was so happy because she was very happy and I was having a lot of fun."

Ellie: "I handed a little boy a small cup of water, when I handed it back to him, the smile on his face filled me with joy. But it also made me sad to think about America, and how when we get something big we are happy, yet when Haitians get 1/2 a cup of water they are even happier than us."

Sierra: "When I got out of the truck the kids surrounded me.  They were holding my hands and trying to get as close to me as they could.  One was a little girl, she didn't talk.  She was always reaching her hands up to be picked up.  I held her until my arms hurt.  This made me feel happy because I was giving her love and she was giving love back to me at the same time."

Rebekah: ""When people saw us their faces lit up.  We went to the elders school and a group of girls about our age came and grabbed us and brought us back to their classroom.  They sat us down and played with our hair.  Their laugh was so joyful.  It felt so good."

Annie: "A mom tried to give her baby to me.  I felt helpless because I couldn't take her or support them in any way.  "

Kayla: "We were filling up the water truck and Haitians came running.  I was glad when one of them asked me to come too.  I felt spellbound that even though they are so poor, they are so happy.  God has blessed us more than we know."
