Cite Soleil

Today we went into Cite Soleil to deliver clean water to people that don't have any. As soon as the truck stopped the kids crowded around us to touch us, be touched and be held. Holding a child in your arms and seeing their smiling faces gave me joy. I was also inspired by their hope. It gives me hope.

I especially enjoyed a little girl who loved playing with my hair. She used the end of my braid to tickle my ear and would giggle in response to my reaction. At the beginning of it all I was nervous because I didn't know what to expect. However by trusting in the Lord, His joy overpowered my nerves and I don't regret one second of my time in Cite Soleil.
