Team in Haiti

It's only our second day here, and I think it's safe to say that every single person on our team from Heartland has forever been impacted. We all agreed that whatever it was we expected...it's different...but different in a sense that it's MORE than we expected. We're more blown away by the generosity of the Haitian people. We're more humbled by how little these people have, and yet how happy they are. Above all, we're more convinced than ever how great our God is.

From our time playing with the kids, to praying with families in their homes, to cutting down brush for a new soccer field, it has all been amazing. And what a beautiful country! Our first night here, we slept out under the stars on the roof of the mission and were blessed with the most amazing view of stars and planets any of us had ever seen.

Tomorrow our plan is to pass out some of the 650 gift bags that our church packed for the local children, which I believe is going to be the icing on the cake. Pray for us, that the time would be powerful, that the children would know they are loved, and that they would hear the gospel communicated in a clear way through our translators.
