It has been so fun this week to watch our group grow and
change. When we first arrived it was
pretty overwhelming for many and it was hard to connect with others because of
the language barrier. Many of us were
also adjusting to new roles in the Bible School as well. But today it was fun to look around Bible
School and see our team hitting their groove and interacting with and working
together with the Haitians.
Pastor Robby was at the Bible School today and it was
awesome watching him do the songs with the kids and show so much
enthusiasm. He even helped Alicia with
her lesson today and was an awesome Goliath!
After we had lunch at church, we did a little jump roping on the stage
again. The kids loved it as some of us
and some of the people from the church did some jump roping. All I have to say is that Pastor Robby and I
rocked the double dutch jumping!
After Bible School, we got to ride home in a taptap, the
Haitian version of a taxi. It is
basically a little pickup with a topper and benches in the back. And we crammed 16 of us into one taptap. It was a fun experience except that Alicia
was complaining the whole time that I was sweating on her. In her words, “I was drenched with his sweat!”
Welcome to Haiti!
This afternoon we
spent some time preparing for the service we will do on Sunday to wrap up the
Bible School. We will do an overview of
the lessons and our songs with all the children. They are having the children do most of the
service.
Everyone is doing well and we are all learning and
experiencing much. It has been so fun to
introduce other adults from CCC to this place and the people that I love so
much!

Happy Birthday Dad!
Love and miss you! Love, Gabby
Aw thanks Gabby (daddy said)! I LOVE reading all the blog posts! It sounds like it's been an amazing experience for everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteWait? Alicia teaching? Didn't think that was the plan, although I know you are certainly capable. The ride could have been worse, Alicia. It could have been his feet touching you. Miss you and can't wait to hear all of your stories. Picking up your car tomorrow. Rest assured, Dad will be driving it :).
