sorry it's been a few days since the last update. because our work sites have been close to the beach, it's been more difficult to update as frequently as the last trip. i plan on writing a more thoughtful, reflective post on the flight home, so stay tuned for that. :)
everything has been going really well all week. monday and tuesday we worked at the beach property, collecting and organizing rocks from the beach to make a new tone floor for the choukoun (which is now otherwise finished, with a roof and everything!)
wednesday, thursday, and today we built 11 Samaritan's Purse transitional houses, at a site just up the road from the beach property where we are staying. it has been wonderful watching the team interact with the people at the worksites - dancing, holding babies, learning new vocabulary words in three different languages (english, creole, spanish, courtesy of miss jennifer), ya know, just a normal day of work. :) today was especially good. we finished up the rest of the houses that we had supplies for, then walked back to the beach property with a bunch of the kids from the village and went for a swim.
this team has been fantastic. it's been really great to see another group get to experience Haiti for the first time. lots of great conversations of big life-changing things going on in people's hearts and minds. also great to see those who have been here before reconnecting with people here. seeing the look on kids' faces when they see a familiar blan (white) face that's back to see them again... so much joy.
wish i didn't have to leave tomorrow. can't i just stay for another week (or three)?
love you all!
to Him be the Glory!

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10
