Today we went to visit Grace Village and 5 of the elderly. When we were at GV we played some sports with the kids and afterwards we were given a tour of GV. On the tour, we saw all of the new facilities, and we got to see how they produce their food and get water.  We also saw the fish that they harvest and eat. In each one of the fish tanks there were 300 talapia fish. They also had a school there that had 303 kids from grades k-9.
           
            After GV we went to visit the elderly and one disabled man.  The first  elderly we visited was Edmund. He is mostly blind, but he still has a lot of joy that he gets from God. On our second stop we saw Izna, who has a bad back and eye problems. Healing Haiti gave a mattress to Izna, but about a month later it was stolen at gunpoint.  We rubbed lotion on her skin and sang two worships songs in Haitian.  Our third stop brought us to Jude, who is a disabled 21 year old. His mom does a good job at supporting him and getting him food and water.  At our last stop we went to see Marie, she is sponsored by some of the kids in our group. Marie is the oldest in the elderly program, she is approximately 104 years old. She is very lively, loves to talk, and loves the Lord.  At each of their homes we had time to visit with them, sing to them and pray over them.  The best part of our day was being able to see the elderly have so much joy even though they live in awful conditions.
