"Adam and Lauren"
Well today started off at 6 am so we had a little time to sleep in which was very nice. The boys/MEN got an earlier start then the little girls who did no labor at all today. The men went out to another village to unload two crates from the shipyard full of materials for houses. it took about 15 men to carry one part of a wall for the houses. Jimmy finally broke a sweat today and was extremely exhausted and took a two hour nap when we got back. Also surprisingly jay did not fall at all today. I believe he is finally starting to realize that you have to put one foot in front of the other to be able to walk. we gave him a two hour lesson last night on how to do that... jk. Later on in the evening we helped with johns house and did as much as we could. Today was not very eventful so we had to cope with all of the sick people from our team. Lets just hope that they dont have cholera. Maybe lauren will get it and they will have to put her in the quarantine camp so she wont have to come back with us. that will make the whole trip worth it. Now i will let her tell you the day in her eyes.

Today we all woke up around 6 am, for some reason i cant figure this hot water thing out because im the only one that has been taking cold showers and its not by choice. Let me correct Adam.. the LITTLE boys all went out this morning around 7 to go unload some crates. AND the WOMAN not little girls went out to a school in a village to record medical records for all of the children... We kinda got off on a late start because Robinson didnt have a driver, Beth wanted to drive but i dont know if that would have been a good idea. We normally just ride the bus but today we rode in the back of a truck... lets just say its not as fun as it looks haha we felt like our insides were being all shook up! Once we arrived to the village/School all the kids were so welcoming giving us hugs and holding our hands...Beth, Kayla, Emily, and I all taught the girls a cool handshake type game! they LOVED it. Then we began weighing,measuring, and taking photos of the children for the records. This took about 2 hours after we finished we left and went back to the compound. As the day went on we hung around the compound and played with the kid i once again reunited with my little boy named Lavo he is the sweetest boy ever. Throughout the rest of the evening i was called to bandage and comfort those that were hurt with the help of Jay and Adam. Jay gave them candy and welcomed them with a big smile. :)
Now we are all just hanging around playing card games, and such.
btw i DONT have Cholera and I WONT get cholera ADAM so i wouldnt get your hopes up :) haha
P.S I would just like to let all of ya'll know that one of the haitian children that has truely touched my heart, His name is Noah we believe that he may have contracted Cholera please pray for him. He was driven to a Cholera camp in Mercy and Just pray for his recovery. Also pray for Billy Kline he isn't feeling very well.
I would just like to say that i am very blessed to be here in Haiti and everyone here has been such a blessing and i would like to thank everyone that has gotten me here. I just want Haiti to know that this is the first time i have been here but it most defiantly will not be my last.
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven.

Please Pray for Noah, he is the one in the plaid shirt. :)
