Valmy is my interpreter, but he is more than that. He is my friend. This week we have all had some amazing adventures. I thought you might enjoy hearing about them from a different perspective so tonight here is our day from the eyes of Valmy...
Today was a good day. We had fun with the kids. We danced. We sang. We made noise, a lot of noise!
It is good for Americans to come because you help a lot of people in Haiti, people who were suffering from difficult diseases and hunger. You help kids to go to school and you share the Gospel with them. Through you they come to know Jesus. Many other people live in Damien and Bigarade, and you share the love of Christ with them.
Early this morning unfortunately we did not have the medical clinic at Damien Baptist Church so many people came to see the doctor. Some of them live far away from Damien because they don’t have money to go to the hospital and they know American people come to Haiti to help with health problems. That showed when American people come here it’s a hope for these people. We do not have opportunity to go to the hospital to survive. The most important thing that American people do, they are not coming just to provide medicine, but also to provide spiritual things.
My favorite things this week is to see how you bring joy to the kids at the school in Bigarade and how they appreciate American people and what they do, like the food that you provide and the songs. This week I got to know the American people much better, and they make me want to be a better man.
I love you all!
We love you, too Val, and we look forward to the time when we can see you and your precious country again. Until then "babay Ayiti"
