Getting settled in.

The past two days have been wonderful! I couldnt have asked for a better first couple of days in Haiti. I'm here alongside 6 other awesome girl interns who I've been getting to know. They're so awesome and they all have such a heart for missions so we get along great :) Yesterday was just very low-key. Got all my stuff unpacked and my bed set up and we just had fun. Got to go down to Hope House (the orphanage) and play with the kids. We also had a pretty legit dance party with some of the older girls at the orphanage last night at our place. So crazy, yet so fun!

Today was unbelievable! Woke up a little sweaty, but not as bad as I had expected. Power went out at 4am so the fans turned off much earlier than they were supposed to. The morning was good. Nice and slow getting up for breakfast and getting ready for church. Me and all the other interns dressed up in red, white, and blue for the 4th. It was fun!


Church was absolutely incredible. Theres just something breathtaking about worshipping our God in another country with people who are worshipping in another language. All the songs they sang at church today were sung in Creole but they always did one verse or chorus in English. :) And I knew all the songs so half the time I was attempting to sing in Creole and then I could just sing in English and worship wholeheartedly. It was beautiful. Everything about it. One of my favorite lyrics from a new song they sang were:

"For I am after Your heart, I'm after Your heart, I'm after You."

So beautiful.

Got to go to Gwapapa Poul (Big daddy chicken) for lunch- authentic Haitian food=AMAZING! :) I also got strawberry ice cream! haha so fun! Then since the heat was pretty intense we just came back to our rooms and hung out :) Ana and Mina came up and played with us for a little.

We baked cakes for the 4th of July and decorated them like a flag and fireworks :) Dinner was mac 'n cheese and hotdogs to celebrate America!


The Lord is already doing some mighty things here and I love seeing it! Tomorrow Ill start off by going down with another intern to teach the Hope House moms! I'm so excited! Itll be a really neat experience.

Please continue to pray for all the things that the Lord is doing here. I've only been here two days and I'm loving it more than ever! :)
