Today was a pretty laid back day. Got up in time for breakfast and chilled out for a couple hours before church. We went to a Haitian church just down the road from the orphanage. It was all in Creole and French. With my high school French classes I was able to pick out a few words. Who am I kidding?! I didn't know what was going on! I did recognize a few hymns which they sung in Creole. I was hoping for the Chris Tomlin chorus add-ons but no luck.
Again we were just hanging around the orphanage and playing with the kids after lunch. We did get a little work done today. We had a preliminary meeting about the current state of the accounting processes. Just taking a look at where we are today. That gives me a little preparation for the week.
After the meeting a group of adults, 4 kids, and T-Bone, the dog, went to climb the 2000 ft mountain just football field lengths from the back of the orphanage. It was amazing! The terrain and climb was pretty tough. We climbed up for about an hour and decided to turn back before it got dark. Probably made it about 3/4 of the way. Watch later for a link to youtube for a video of the mountain climb.
We ended the night with a group praise and worship time with the kids. We had 3 guitar players and homemade drums. It was a sweet time of singing and worshiping God with everyone. Now I'm ready to get to working hard tomorrow.
Love that church!! Man, that climb is amazing... and tough. I miss that place. What about T-Bone? that dude is... um... well, he's T-Bone. :)
