Internet connect is a success!
What a wild two days it has been and what amazing things God has already begun to do in our group and through our group. After a long first day, we got a good night sleep. We woke up bright and early to get ready for an exciting first day.
Today we began work on a house of a former EBAC orphan named Daniel. The work was relatively simple but physically exhausting. Most of it was taking crushed rock and laying down evenly to begin providing a foundation (you'll see in pictures below). Because of the size of our group, and not enough resources to help build, we split the team into two shifts. One half stayed to work and the other went to EBAC to spend time with the orphans. We reconvened back at the place we're staying and then the group switch locations. It was a great balance for the first day. One half spent working and the other continuing to build relationships.
Near the end of the first day a big storm came, which thwarted our efforts to work but for the most case we got stuff done. Many students (and some adults) took advantage of the rain to have some fun. It was a great time and we really have been jelling well as a team. Tomorrow will bring a different day as we begin a new partnership with another Pastor in Haiti. We will begin some work on a church he is building and spend time making new friends with the kids there.
God has been really speaking to each person, as He made that clear at our first team meeting last night. Just continue to pray that God's love is made known and good, eternal things are done in the time we have here.
Here are some of the pictures from the first two days (connection is slow, so I can only post a couple):
