June 17 2012. Day 2. Guitton Haiti.
Typically when you are in Haiti, you wake up with a rooster crowing. But he must have been off today so the cows filled in. We had a great breakfast along with opening the day with scripture. We arrived at church at 8:30 and it was a special service. There were probably 150 people in attendance. The lady who was a voodo queen and was saved last year was in church! The singing and the preaching was inspiring. We each introduced ourselves and, since it is Father's Day in the states (Haiti celebrates Father's Day next week), they sang a happy Father's Day son to us dads. The service ended around 11:30. We had a short lunch break. Then we walked 1 1/2 miles to a small village to see the village and an almost-finished church building that has been started and will soon open for worship services.
Today, it has rained a lot. It has been torrential at times. The kids kept on playing soccer outside. They never stopped.
Our devotion tonight was on allowing God to be in control and us learning how to get our own will out of the way. Everyone is well and excited to see what tomorrow will bring. Looks like along with sharing Jesus with folks here, we have a couple of roofs to install tomorrow. The church here prayed this morning for you in Rock Hill. Keep praying for us.
God bless and goodnight!
