last day of the year

We had a full day today! First, we went to the Life is Well orphanage and finished up some painting that we started yesterday. We also hung out with the kids. It was great because we saw the same kids that were there yesterday. After just even two days, it becomes easier to recognize faces and names. After that, we ate lunch and took a little break. We then walked down the OSE orphanage down the road and made some bracelets with the kids there. It was a really great experience for me personally, because I speak French and a lot of the kids there also spoke French. I felt like I could truly connect with them today because I could exchange more than just a smile (although that is always great, too!). Overall, it was a productive and fun day! Tonight is New Year's Eve, so we will be heading over to church and hanging out there for a little. There are sure to be fireworks and celebration tonight, so we will be awake for a while.

Thanks for your prayers and thoughts, and bonne année!

    There is something very special going on with your team there in Haiti. We can see it, feel it and believe it through your posts and pictures. Thank you so very much for sharing your adventures with us. Tonight, we have a snow storm coming across the country here, large amounts of snow expected, 4 inches for Ohio and 6 or more expected for PA and NY! We will ring in the New Year and we send blessings and cheers to all...Happy New Year! We love you, Gary, Kim and Brandon Phelps
