Day #7: Grace Church and Wahoo Bay

Hello all,

Today we awoke and started our day the same we had for the last 7 days - ate breakfast, filled water bottles and boarded the “tap tap”. The difference today was that we spent it decompressing and loving each other. Our first stop was attending church at Grace Village. The special treat was that the kids that live there got to sit with us during the service, and one little boy around 9-10 came and sat so close to me. He fell asleep on me for most of the service, sleeping in complete peace reminding me of the amazing hearts of the Haitian people that has been so evident this whole week. Our next stop was a few hours at the Wahoo Beach Club where we got to spend time swimming, laughing and talking and sharing experiences of the week. This time was so important for us to find some closure on the week in Haiti and to spend time together in a lighthearted setting. The experiences we have shared this week have been life changing with every high and low that we have encountered in our journeys and the one thing I can say without conviction is the obvious swelling of the Lord’s love in all of our hearts. Tomorrow we board a plane back to the life we call “normal” praying our hearts never forget the awesome lessons the Lord has shown us.


Love,
Sam
