Genesis
9
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

We have arrived here at the mission and settling in quite
nicely. It took us some time to arrive between the traffic and a couple of
accidents that had to be cleared out of way. But with the promise of God’s
rainbow guiding our way I knew He was with us and right where we needed to be.
Helene, Samoan, and Madam Pastor, were here to
welcome us and had prepared us dinner, mac and cheese, plantains and breadfruit.
It was delicious!
Our second day was mostly spent trouble shooting things that
were in need of repair and doing some unpacking. It was nice to wake up with
the children arriving for school. Some playing on the playground, others singing
and laughing with the chickens, goats, and geckos chiming in.
Today has been really quiet. It is a Haitian holiday here so
the schools are out and all the workers or off. The people in the village
started with singing and prayer at church early this morning then everyone
loaded up on the bus and went to visit the shut-ins and the ones that were sick.
Looking forward to meeting our team that will be arriving
here in just a few short weeks.
Until then blessing to all, Teressa

Sounds like your fitting in perfectly. I love to listen when the singing starts at church. I wish I were there for the trips to visit the shut-ins and sick. Elderly our dear to my heart. I fell in love with my Haitian grandma Madame Baugette. Looking forward to visiting her and c her new home. Would also like to get 2 know the elderly dancing man. Don't know him by name. Looking forward to meeting you & Jeff . Blessings to you.
