Monday morning we went to teach and the mommies weren't ready yet so Abby and I played with the babies :) While we were playing a little boy came in that doesnt live at Hope House and was watching us. We asked him what his name was and he said "Undelo". My heart started racing- Undelo is a little boy from Tytoo, an orphanage I visited when I was here in March. When I was here Undelo was one of the first little kids to come up to me. I held him for quite some time and just loved this little boy. He didnt smile much but he sure was precious!!!! Abby asked him if he remembered me and he said yes. My heart was smiling so big. I saw Jesus in Undelo that morning.
In the afternoon we had a feild day with the kids from the Hope House which was slightly chaotic but SO much fun! It was pouring so it turned into a mass water fight! So much fun!
This morning we went and taught the mommies. It was conversation day so it was great! At the end Frantz prayed for me which was beautiful. This man is in love with God and I see Jesus in him.
After teaching I went to the prosthetics lab and played with a little 4 year old boy who is getting fitted for a prosthetic leg. I cannot explain to you what it did to me to see this sweet precious little boy smile. The second he took his one sock off and I saw his little foot my heart just broke for him. He will never grow up with 2 feet, but thanks to mission of hope he will have two legs. And will be able to walk normally. This precious little boy made my day. I see Jesus in him.
This afternoon was so much fun! Adventure is the only word I can use to describe it. A few of us went with a team to a village to go on a riverwalk and to go to the Good Samaritan orphanage. It was a hot but beautiful day out and the scenery in the mountains was beautiful. We hiked through the mountains for a while and then through a river to get to the orphanage.
It was so much fun seeing all of the children at Good Sam again :) In March, most of the kids were still clearly traumatized and wouldnt smile. This little boy was crying and wouldnt smile at ALL in March. And here he was today.... I saw Jesus in Him.
God is faithful, I've seen it full well here in Haiti. I see Jesus everywhere I go. This is the life I love. This is the life I was created to live. I love loving these people and being the hands and feet of Jesus to them. Little do they know I see glimpses of Jesus in them.
