The attitudes of the youth in Haiti were amazing! All the neighborhood boys were so gracious and respectful to us upon seeing us. Their faith in God is very strong. One of the boys started to sing and got our group of youth involved in their activities. The guest house we are staying in is very cozy and colorful! There is a patio where we can view the whole city. So far our experience has been great! Tomorrow will bring more opportunities for us to be the hands and feet of God! <3

I was stunned by the children’s ability to fluently speak English and sing songs of praise in it as well! I asked a young gentleman about my age what his plans for college were and he answered he would be going wherever God led him. It was heartwarming to hear this and made me think that if more of us approached our future with this mindset we would be happier and more secure in our choices.

Today was an amazing and eye opening day, even if it was our first day. When we got to Port-Au-Prince I was shocked by how real life had just got for all of us. After getting over the shock and making it to our new home for the week we went out and started to make some new friends. We watched them play soccer and learned some new words. One thing that really stuck out for me was how good they understood us! They speak amazing English! So many things went on today and it was great. I am really looking forward to the rest of the week!
