Photos- Day 2

Yesterday we went to Life is Wealth Orphanage in Port au Prince to paint the dorms where the girls sleep and also to play with them and meet them.  Some of the group also went to the General Hospital in Port au Prince to visit the pediatric ward where they met/talked to/prayed with many children and their parents.  It was quite an experience for them and I will have one of them blog later.  We are having a good time sharing the love of Jesus with many and getting to know one another as well.  Thanks for the prayers and MUCH support/encouragement.  It means a lot to the team and really has an impact on our ministry!  God bless- Crystal

David really got into sanding with us (he removed his shirt to put onto his head and also over his mouth at times cause it got REALLY dusty!

Sanding in the big room- the reflections are particles of dust in the air that caught the flash.  We went outside to get fresh air, but it really wasn't as dusty as it seems.

the children got into helping us sand the place and clean it too

when the power came on, they all went to watch their TV (but the station was music videos that were NOT very appropriate so we talked to Pastor Yves about this.  

hair is always a way to bond

a friend had made these ornaments for each child for Christmas and I was excited when we came (and they did not know we were coming- just the pastor did) some of the girls were wearing them as necklaces.
