Troy doesn't usually tweet a bazillion times a day but he did today. Too much sugar in his coffee or something. Because it is so unusual and because his day was far more interesting than mine, I'll take the lazy man's path and paste the tweets in here.
~Made Starbucks coffee that a friend brought us, while feeding the kids Pop Tarts that another friend brought. Happy kids.
~Rec'd email from a dear friend about his wife's chronic pain & illness we've been praying for-may have an answer and healing after 12 long yrs
~Prayer meeting this morning included singing 'I Have Decided' in three languages - English, Kreyol, and Amharic
~Paid a visit to Mirlande - a pregnant mother in our program who lives in a tin shack. Her faith and positive attitude rock my world.
~Replaced painful earworm with @gungormusic. Much better.
~Am I having a popsicle for lunch? Yes. Yes I am.
~This community has been desperate for water and praying hard for it.They are thrilled about the well and giving thanks for answered prayers.
~I love how many ppl here live out their faith-only trusting in God to meet needs and thanking only Him when they're met. #Ihavemuchtolearn
~And now - dinner with the Harbor House family. Lourdes Milla just ate a pound of French butter. Wow.
The only other news worth reporting - the police literally told our staff that they should have left "Moses" in the street, that by picking him up they did the wrong thing. They actually said that! The staff members that went to report what happened (with "Moses" with them) were reprimanded. Oh.my.head. Nothing like getting a lecture for doing what is CLEARLY the right thing. How can leaving a living disabled human alone in the dirt be the right thing? Tomorrow they are instructed to return with the paper report that was created today to the Mayor's office. The paper cost $500 Haitian Dollars. (2500 gourdes) - or the equivalent of $62USD.
All that math to say, for just $62 you too can go file a report and receive a stern lecture from the local police. What tha?
~Woke up in a bed with a roof over my head in a house with electricity and water, next to my beautiful best friend.
~Made Starbucks coffee that a friend brought us, while feeding the kids Pop Tarts that another friend brought. Happy kids.
