Elderly Visits

Today we started out waking up really early at 5:30! It was worth it because we got to go to the Haitian church near the guesthouse. When we were there it was really powerful to sing along with all the people and even though we didn't know what they said half the time it was still one of my favorite experiences. Next we all went to Grace Village and played with all the kids. Even though we don't speak their language we still could interact with the children. One thing that is still crazy to me even though I've already gone two other times, is that though all the kids live in these horrible conditions they are still so joyful and content for what they own. The last thing we did was visit the elderly. The first person we went to was Edmund. He is around 81 and is blind and deaf. We went in sang songs and prayed over him. We gave him a meal and we comforted him. We also asked him questions and he answered with joy. The next gracefully old person that we went to was named Issna. We gave him food and soda, he was a kind spirit and he cared for us even in his old age. Then we went to see Marie. She is 104 and is the one with the most spirit of all the elderly that Healing Haiti sponsors. What was really cool was that she remembered me from all the other trips I have gone on, not only that, but she had been praying for me that I would come back to see her! Also she was going to have nothing to eat that day, but we brought her food so that was another prayer for her answered. God has blessed our whole team today by showing us His love through the elderly and the children
