Sunday June 26 --
Got up this morning at 5:20 for work duty in the kitchen.  Made pancakes for 80 people with Erika and the African Princess Chimene.  A group of us took a five minute walk over to the tent city in our neighborhood and had a church service!  A few days ago as we were meandering through the tents, talking to our neighbors.  So many of them said they couldn't go to church because they don't have the proper clothes, so we brought it to them.  Such a special time.  Ended the day with long talks and worship time on the roof.  I love this place.
OH. AND....  
It's pretty special that my crazy awesome youth pastor, Dustin Bates, and his crazy awesome wife, Jamie Bates, are virtual family with the leader of my DTS (discipleship training school).  Pastor D is our speaker for this week and flies into PAP tomorrow afternoon.  Visitors in Haiti?  Who would've thought.  And then in just a month, 3 of my favorite people will be here too!  My meemshke, my fave teacher/friend/mentor, and blanc fou protector Pastor man will be here.  Good times. Good times.  
Gearing up for another incredible week, and can't wait for more of what God is going to do through this school.

Bon Bagay

Hi everyone!
I have been trying so hard to think about what all to put in this very first update, and the famous creole words 'Bon Bagay', meaning 'Good Things', is what keeps coming to mind.  For now, I am just going to talk more focused on what life is like as a YWAM student.  When I have more time I will elaborate on some of the deeper topics we've gotten to discuss.
I am living in a house with over 70 people.  People who want to be here.  Who want to know God more.  Who are hungry for more of Him.  Bon Bagay.
