Day 7 at COTP.

Bonjou from Haiti!
The day started quickly as we had the job of cleaning the baby house from top to bottom. We cleaned not only the walls and floors but also the contents of the baby house such as cribs and beds. Prayer and singing time this morning involved lots of dancing. The kids started dancing and clapping along. It was amazing to see all the joy expressed throught the singing and dancing. Brenda, Cassie, Mary, Mia, and Breanna all got their hair braided in different ways by 2 of the nannies. We all had fun getting to know them as we tried and failed at speaking Creole. We knew the nannies were laughing AT us as well as with us. Later in the afternoon at least 10 of us went on a walk with A Lot of kids. On our way back we barely escaped a huge thunderstorm. The strong winds indicated the coming storm so we hurried back to the compound. We were very suprised about how cool the winds were..some of us were actually cold! Once we returned we fell back into the routine of supper, tooth brushing, and prayer and singing time led by the nannies. Our time of prayer and singing was again filled with dancing and scripture reading. The nanny who led worship had it translated for us and we were invited to join with them in prayer for the country of Haiti, COTP, and personal concerns.
