Hallelujah!


      This is what we heard before daybreak this morning. The women of the church like to gather in the sanctuary to praise the Lord. It is a great alarm clock for us Americans. Today was another day to celebrate. The clinic treated 180 Haitians, more sponsored children were updated, and basketball backboards for the orphans are in progress. On the farm, the working group built a platform for the water tank and dug a ditch from the well over to where the tank will sit. They also cleaned the old well, where they found water! They began making repairs to the windmill that pumps water from another well. A few of us gave clothing to the orphans, and a crew painted the outside of the second floor of the school. We are excited to rest tomorrow for Easter. The women, men, and children of the church have rehearsed and are doing special things in the service for Easter.
      Dinner has been served, and now we are spending time with each other. Except for working for the Lord during the day, it seems that the evening is our favorite time. The dining room is filled with praise music, laughter, and stories; people sharing their lives with each other. Someone mentioned that this atmosphere is probably what God intended for church to be like. We hope you have a wonderful Easter, and even though we are in Haiti, we are celebrating Jesus' resurrection with you!
