What a great day at the orphanage! This song pretty much sums it up. The morning started off with an Advent Devotional which was followed by reciting scripture and singing. I was so impressed with their songs and scripture memory. I was even more impressed with the dedication of Maison's staff including Pierre, the Orphanage Director and Angie, the American Missionary to teaching these sweet children the love of Jesus.
Caleb and I spent the majority of the day making chlorine water for the orphanage. We got water from the well and mixed in 1 1/3 cup of salt. Then, we hooked up a battery to a spout and filtered the water through to make chlorine water. This will provide the orphanage safe and clean water.
I also painted all the girls fingernails. Not sure who had more fun, me or the girls.
Brian began working on a project today. The people of Haiti do not have an opportunity to get water unless you pay for it. Often times, they have to fight for water on the streets. The orphanage never ceases to amaze me because they asked Brian to put up a door from the orphanages side of the well, so the people on the streets can use the well water. What a lesson on giving. The orphanage has been blessed with water, so what do they do, give it away.
It was a good day here in Haiti, hanging out and loving on kids. Tomorrow will be a big day. I will be speaking to a group of women from different churches around PAP. Please pray for God to do great things in the lives of these Haitian women, and the Lord will give me the words to say. Also, tomorrow we will have a Christmas party for the children here at the orphanage.
Greater things have yet to come...
