This week we started our first mini DTS. It was supposed to start on Monday, but the tent city we were planning on teaching at was getting food distributed, so apparently we couldn't go there. Instead, we went to a different tent city. They are all over the place here in Port-au-Prince. This particular one is the poorest in the whole city. We just played with some of the kids and took some pictures. They were so sweet but you could see the pain in their faces. Some of them couldn't even smile. I can't even imagine the horrors they've been through. A mother of one of the children invited us into her tent, which was awesome since it gave us a little bit of shade and great light. They absolutely love to have their photo taken and then see the picture after. So we spent a while doing that. Here's a few photos from Monday:Yesterday we started our mini DTS for real. Emily R shared on the Father heart of God. She did a really great job and I think the people loved it. Today Dani shared on hearing and obeying God's voice. I didn't get to hear it cause a bunch of us were outside playing with the kids, but I heard it was great as well. The kids there are hilarious. They love to play clapping games and when you first come they'll all attack you and fight over who gets to hold your hand. Communicating without words is so fun! We danced to the ukulele and sang together. They taught me how to dance to Waka Waka by Shakira, but I'm pretty sure they were making fun of me the entire time. Obviously my little white girl dance moves don't amount to anything compared to them. Little 5 year old Haitians can dance better than me! After lunch, we started on a new project for the base here. They're trying to get kids in the tent cities sponsored by people in the states, so they needed photos for each kid, along with their names and ages. We probably photographed 300 kids and it was crazy, but so fun. If we can get it all done, it's going to make such a difference in each of their lives. We have about 700 more kids to do by the end of the week.
Please be praying for the people attending the mini DTS. Their lives are already getting impacted, but there is room for so much more. Pray that their hearts will be open to what God has to share with them. Pray for continued health for us. Most of us haven't gotten very sick yet and it would be incredible if it stayed that way. If you read this tonight, pray for direction in a decision we have to make by tomorrow. Pray that we will be able to hear God's voice very clearly.
I'm missing home so much lately. Love you guys and hope your summers are going well!
