ELIAS PINA DAY 2

Today began early with the Stations of the Cross through town and ending at the top of a small hill along the border of Haiti.  It was a great way for us all to begin our Good Friday.  After the Stations we spent some time playing on the playground with the children who were waiting for us when we return to the parish.  After a hot morning of playing we had American Mac N Cheese for lunch - 10 boxes for 15 people and we finished almost all of it!!  This afternoon we are going to walk and see more of the town - yesterday was Market Day and too busy to walk around town too much.  We are going to visit all of the homes and see how everyone lives.  Most of the students are in homes with buckets for baths but most do have indoor plumbing except for Emily, Rachel & Millaine but they have been great sports about it and embracing the experience.  Here are some of our memories from the morning.

Every looks pretty happy at 8 am - this is right before we began the Stations of the Cross

    Sarah,
    Thank you SO MUCH for sharing the pics of all the kids and the children. It helps to visualize where they are and what they are doing, even though we can't talk to them. Sounds like it was a good Good Friday experience. Hope Easter is wonderful for all of you! We continue to keep you all in our prayers!
    Love, Kelly, Kevin, Danny & Lindsey
