Up until now, and we are all caught up.
We started the new year with a dance party and cheetos. And spent the next two weeks at our house in Mountriouse. Over that time we started going to another orphanage, and speaking at a mini dts, for our local haitian friends. We all shared testimony's and messages. We spent an entire day trekking up the mountain behind our house to a village and natural spring. Haiti is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, but no one knows it. Because of the disasters and poverty, it's easily overlooked. But when you take the time to admire the surroundings, thats when you start to see Haiti with the potential it has. After the long and exhausting day, we thought it was to much work to carry the water from the well up to our bathroom, so a few of us just showered in our bathing suits right at the well. Sure you get a few strange looks, but there isn't anything more refreshing. After finishing half of the mini dts, we get some information on saturday that surprises us. Apparently we were supposed to move out of our house, and we had one day to pack. Our Pastor, as awesome as he is, forgot to mention that detail weeks prior.. so we spent saturday packing and sunday driving to port au prince. We are now at the YWAM base, enjoying our electricity and water, and not to mention internet. We started some tent city ministry and food distribution yesterday, while half the team went back to Mountriose to finish up the mini dts. On top of that, we are pretty sure we are moving to a different house here in port au prince. Monday marks our half way point, and if there is one thing we have learned in Haiti, it's be flexible.
