What an amazing day. We had water trucks today. That's where we fill up a tank of clean water and distribute it to different stops in Cite Soleil. All the stops we went to were very calm. I absolutely love being able to pick up any child that wants to be held. Its just one more way to show God’s love.
I met some incredible people today and also had the opportunity to play soccer with some of the neighborhood boys who are strong in their faith and soccer skills. I witnessed joy, love, the need for touch, and desperation. When we got to our first stop it was mainly playing with children. I didn't work the hose until the last stop. We got to pass out manna packs at Elder's School. If you've ever been to Feed My Starving Children and packed the bags of food this is what we delivered. I really felt like this made a difference because these kids can take this home and feed their family, not just them.
Playing soccer with the boys today was such a blessing and fun! Our team played against the boys. We sang the MN Rouser in our pre-game huddle. They (neighborhood boys) led us in worship songs on the tap-tap and we all had a blast! I'm so glad to be on this trip. We have an awesome, hardworking team. I can't wait for tomorrow!
