The Adventures of Dana, Jill and Jessica

Today was an exciting and eye opening day for some of us! We started out with the normal routine of feeding the kids breakfast, brushing teeth and enjoying 1-on-1 time with the kids. This afternoon we (Dana, Jill and Jessica) went with Nick and Jamie to Cap to run an errand and visit two nannies. We visited one nanny and she was the sweetest lady ever! She did not have much, but was so thankful for having us and she was also very welcoming! We went on to the next nanny's house and met her brother, and some others in her family. She was very hospitable and did not want us to leave, so she pulled out Coke and Toro (which is a knock off of Red Bull-Very good! Nick calls it Black Bull :) After that, we met up the other people in our group and visited Cross Roads which is the name of a Church and also has a school and orphanage in it. The orphans are children ages 4-12 and came after the earthquake. After seeing what this orphanage had, COTP is very fortunate to have the support from all the people. Cross Roads is blessed by the Godly Director of the orphanage, school, and church.
Also- Nick is an amazing driver on these roads!! We would be so stressed if we had to drive against the traffic here. We took a 3' deep drive through murkey rain water. Lets just say that we were nervous!

Thanks for reading our blog :)

Actually, instead of starting with todays adventures, I'm starting with last night (Monday). Last night, during the nannies praise/worship time, it started downpouring very hard. It was really cool to see last night. David, Jacob, Neil, Evan, Jessica, Dana, and I went into a mud slide out in the yard because it was so deep. It reminded me of the high school retreat back in September, except this was in Haiti. All the nannies were watching and laughing at us silly Americans. It was pretty cool to see all them enjoying it. Well today was kind of a normal, routine day here, but this afternoon we went into Cap Haitien to go visit a neighboring orphanage, just like the girls said up above. We met the Pastor, Yves Blot. He is amazing and full of God in there. He said he has a big church and an orphanage connected to it. He said it was a blessing that we were here and he was praising God for it. It was amazing to see the Holy Spirit go through him. It's amazing to see what God is doing in the spirit of people down here, for what little they have. He is definitley working down here. Thats pretty much all I've got to say. Thanks for reading!

The Pastor of the other orphanage asked for prayer.  37 kids all in one room, one toilet, one shower.
