Tuesday, like Monday was a great day. In the morning we built 2 shelters. During the dedication of one home, we there was a lady there that one of the Haitiian workers was witnessing too who practiced voodoo. Bryan and Ron were able to talk with her through a translator. She accepted Jesus Christ and they immediately went to her house and she burned her voodoo items. After praying with her and burning her items, she said she felt "free". That is why we are in Haiti!!
During the afternoon we built 1-1/2 shelters. We had alot of children around and were able to pass out soccer balls and candy.
Words cannot express the feeling of being in Haiti. When people ask me why I go back to Haiti or any foreign country, I only wish they could spend a day here. In America, we have poor people. America's "poor" is nothing compared to the poverty in a third world country with no government help. You are on your own. When you walk through the villages and see children with no clothes, who are filthy dirty and smell with knats and flies all around them, you understand what poverty is.
