(continued from prior - we are on limited time and I'm not sure when it runs out)
Our journey finally brought us to the center of a small ..clearing where there were several dwellings where people lived. The children all gathered around us and we sang a few songs with them. I then sat down on the ground and told them the story of Daniel and the lions den. The kids also sang a Creole song for us and were doing a sort of dance where they would kick their feet in and out. One of the highlights for me was when on of the older men in the village (looked to be about 60 -70 ) who was on crutches came out on his crutches and was doing his best to dance along with the children. The smile on his face was infectious. Such joy with so little makes me re-evalute my priorties.
I'll close for now and try to give others a chance to add their thoughts.
Love to you all,
Christy-

You guys are amazing! Keep up the great work!
Incredible - thanks for helping us to keep out lives in perspective. Really love reading the descriptions of everything going on there - how God's joy overcomes difficulties that are so much more severe than the things we let irritate us here. Praying for your completed work, and safe return, and that your servant hearts will continue to be infectious in all you do.
Christy,
I set up the account like you asked, but the ID you asked for was not available. I gave you snoops373 instead. Password is the usual. Love you and can't wait to see you on Sunday.
