This picture was taken yesterday with one of the many cows in Haiti. We took a nice long walk up a hill and around a river and got to interact a bit with some of the Haitian people. Walking by we heard a lot of “Blah! Blah!” because that is their word for white people. Funny part is we take pictures of them, but they were taking pictures of us too.
Today 7 of us got to experience Jasmine’s orphanage, a place filled with beautiful Haitian children that were so happy to see us. They had so much joy despite their circumstances and seemed to be loving life. The kids were very receptive to us, and we found lots of new friends. After lots of playing with the kids, we swapped jobs with the other 7 in our group who were working on the roofs of the Samaritan’s Purse shelters (they finished 3 in total!). When we got to the worksite, we as girls didn’t get to do much; the Haitian men would take hammers out of our hand mid swing. However, our group did get a tarp put on a shelter and the frame for another shelter up. We are waiting to see what God has planned for us to do the rest of the week, and we’re excited!

Dear Beth-
Hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day down in Haiti. From the blog it looks like a great week so far! We are having a heat-wave here (actually above freezing!)- the snow may be gone when you get back. Enjoy all of that sunshine – I will miss you on Wednesday at the Bible study! Love, Joanie
Hope your Valentine’s Day is filled with lots of love Sarah! So proud of you! Love, Aunt Laura
