A unique adventure feeding the hungry!

Woke up this morning wondering what God was going to do today....... He has lead us every step of the way and today was no different. A young Haitian man named Emanis took us through the middle of the saturday market, people pressed in with just enough room for the car to drive through, Frank constantly honking to clear the path. As we cleared the market we began our trip through the beautiful countryside, homes and huts scattered just off the rocky path, with onlookers wondering what was going on. We arrive at a small village named Russo (my spelling) where there was a small church/school with no benches or desks. The people began to gather and Bettie spoke to them and began to cry because she had not been there for years and her heart and all of ours was touched by the needs of these people. They began to sing for us and the sound of their voices praising God brought joy to our hearts. They were happy and excited to have us there. We were able to pass out bags of rice them. For many, it maybe the only food they have for the day. Our hearts were sad to leave but it felt good knowing that the village would be eating tonight. As we drove back towards home we handed out rice and some candy to the people we met along the way. Many were riding their donkeys and one donkey was giving his owner quite a ride! The donkey did not like the car and ran around in circles a few times till the owner got her under control. We saw kids along the way with no clothes on or just a shirt.......... We saw a few motorcycles on the way home, one with up to 6 people on one motorcycle!

We stopped in the market to buy some bread, water and coke. Bettie gave some of the bread to the hungry kids hanging around the market.

Safely back at Bettie's house, Dunios was there with his wife, baby and the 6 girls that they have taken into their homes. They sang for us and we feed them some hot dogs and some cake that Teresa made........without oil or eggs! It turned out pretty good!

God was faithful again and we are getting ready for our dinner at the hotel, we had a swim in the pool and last night Frank, Teresa and myself went into the Caribbean, in the dark just to get some of that saltwater on our skin because the mosquitoes are eating us alive!

So far we have bought 8, 50 # bags of rice and one 100 # bag of beans! God Bless you all.......please keep us in your prayers.
