Pictures from Haiti!!

Here are some pictures from the party we had last Friday for the children at the toddler house!

Our last day in Haiti

Today is our last full day here at God's Littlest Angels. We will leave for the airport at about 10:00 tomorrow morning; and while I'm anxious to get home to see Matthew, Gracie, and Titus since I haven't seen them for two weeks, I am also going to miss GLA, a lot more than I expected. I will miss the children, of course, I'll miss Molly and Joyce at the toddler house, and I'll miss Amanda and Melanie and the other volunteers. I'll miss everybody so much more than I had expected. I'm particularly going to miss a few of the children who I've grown very close to. They are all so sweet. Right now I'm going to go get one of the babies, but I just thought I'd leave one more post before we go.


I can say right now, God is doing a great work here and I will miss all of His littlest angels.

Mom left Haiti today *sobs*

Today, Mama left Haiti and went back to Washington. I was very sad to see her go. Please pray that she would have a safe flight and that she would not feel sick. She got very, very sick yesterday, and although she was feeling better today, I would (and I know she would as well) still appreciate prayers that she would stay well through her flight.
Dad and I will still be here for four more days, so hopefully I will post before we leave on Monday. God bless you!

Picture day!

Today was so amazing. God is so good! This morning we had picture day for the boys, so we dressed them up and took lots of pictures of them each individually. These pictures are for their forever families' monthly updates. Tomorrow will be picture day for the girls!!
We also sorted through all of the clothes and gave each child a new outfit today. It was a crazy (but productive) day! Hopefully more updates soon!
The children are all so sweet. We love them so much. God bless you, Rachel

God's Littlest Angels

I'm so sorry we haven't updated since we've been here! Things have been very, very busy. On Monday we got to the orphanage, after flying all night, at about 2:00 p.m. We played with a few of the kids, and then went to bed and slept very well. Mom and I had only slept about an hour the previous night and Dad didn't sleep at all. Tuesday and yesterday we had breakfast at 7:30 and started working with the kids at 8:00. We have eight children who we work with for one hour each, so with lunch we finish at 5:00, and then we have dinner. Last night we had Bible study and then made party bags after dinner, and tonight we're posting on the blog! Earlier today we went to the toddler house, about one mile away. The kids were SOOOO sweet there and they gathered around us as if we were celebrities. One little girl, Dahlini (I think that is how you spell her name) was so sweet and didn't leave my side for more than two minutes the whole time I was there. She was so cute! The older boys loved playing basketball, soccer, and baseball with Dad, and the younger boys and girls loved to sit on Mom's lap. I can't begin to tell you how sweet the kids are. It has been such a blessing.
We are posting pictures (finally) in a few minutes.
Blessings to you,
Rachel
