Hey everyone this is Betsy……. Just checking in to  let you know today is our 4th
day here in Haiti.  We had a great  day which was hot and sunny…..Lunch today was the whole FISH with the head and
eyes, rice and beans, and fresh pineapple and mango.   Earl was the only one that ate all his fish including the eye….YUCK.  The cat the you see in the photo below  joined us for lunch the minute he smelled the fish and begged the whole lunch
period for a piece of fish.    It was a real treat to see a cat in Haiti.    I haven’t seen a cat since we arrived May
5th.  Rick also gave Jean Marie a ride on his motor cycle………as he followed us  behind it was a real treat for all of us watching him getting stuck in the mud  and stalling out as bystanders watched.   The night ended with Sarah singing a solo from a song she picked from the  Psalms.   Kate as well as I gave two powerful testimonies to the Haitian people. 
  
Kate, Josh, and I worked at the clinic  again.  We even made a special home  visit to a woman we saw yesterday. 
She looked great and I enjoyed seeing the baby goats outside her  house.  Connor, Lyle, Earl, and
Rick worked some more on the house construction.  They encountered a man wearing a  horribly worn pair of shoes (see picture) mixing concrete.   Immediately Earl went down to the house and got him a new pair of
shoes.  He was very  grateful.

 Rebekah, Sarah, and Janelle continued their work
in the kitchen.  In their downtime,
they were able to get their hair braided by the women there. 
Chad went to the Resurrection Center in town to work on some computers
for the morning.


Until tomorrow………Bebe
(bye-bye)

so happy to see the smiles on EVERYONE'S faces ! I found a Haitain proverb online the other day...Sa je pa we, ke pa tounen...it means ..what the eye doesn't see, doesn't move the heart...I know that you are all seeing amazing things there and that God is moving your hearts in unbelievable ways. Love Ya!!
