Caraballo Team 2 (Tuesday & Wednesday)

The last two days have been really good.

On tuesday, it did rain, but we were still able to move a lot of dirt, begin to paint the walls of the cafeteria, and help the Haitian workers pour the floor in the cafeteria addition. We also played a lot with kids, both from the school and from the Village. There is a lot of distance between the pile of black dirt and where it needs to goA few of our leaders had to work to create a "path" that allowed us to drive wheelbarrows through ankle deep mud. When the heavy rain did come, it was late afternoon and only cut off a little of the work day. Tuesday night, the truck died on the way home from our worksite, but we still got home safe, and the local mechanic had it fixed and back to the team house when we woke up in the morning.

On wednesday, we had a little bit different of a day. It is the last day of summer session for the students. They came for lunch and then had a program that all the kids participated in to celebrate the end of their school year. One thing that was very interesting was that the kids lunches were served in styrofoam take out containers. Most of the students didn't eat much of their food, but instead too their containers home for their families. The school actually gave the kids a little break after lunch just so they could take their food home. Pretty cool stuff.

Tonight the head of the school spoke with us. He shared his heart for the kids of the Village. It was really powerful stuff shared with tears.

Last night we looked at Luke 15, and tonight we read Luke 10. Awesome passages about God's heart for people. and what it means to truly Live and Love like Jesus did.
