Comier Plage

Today has been one of those rare, work free days for us here in Haiti. Our group woke up early this morning, and loaded up onto the Diahatsu to head to the beach. We go to a beach called Comier Plage. Its quite beautiful, and the difference between the places that we work, and this paradise is like night and day. To get to the beach, we drive through Cap-Haitian, and see the people selling theirr wares, the taxi drivers calling out for people who need rides, and the ladies carrying all sorts of things on their heads. I know that there is so much work that needs to be done, and so many people who need to be reached, and because of this I feel slightly guilty about taking the day off, and lounging in a beach chair. On the other hand, we work with people all day for weeks on end, and I know that the occasional trips to the beach serve to combat being burned out. I really do appreciate seeing God's creation and being able to recharge my batteries. It is soooo nice.

If you are a praying person, please pray for everyone who works with the Haitian people, and the groups that come from the states. Pray the we are able to stay positive, and alert throughout the summer. Pray that God will keep pouring into us, and that we will use the overflow to bless those around us.

Be strong and courageous,
Felicia
