Day 3 - Elder visits // Grace Village // Fleri

Our 3rd full day and what an incredible day it has been. We started with elder visits - we washed their feet, rubbed lotion on their backs and hands and served them lunch. It was a gift to serve them in this way. We finished our visit with praying over them and singing worship songs.

We then traveled to a boutique called "Rosie's" where we enjoyed ice cream and other frozen treats - it was a welcome break from the heat! In the afternoon we visited and toured Grace Village - we saw the lunchroom where 500 meals are prepared each day, the different classrooms, family style homes for orphans, and the clinic. After our tour we went to Fleri - a bakery which employs Haitians and gives them incredible employment opportunities. They served us delicious pizza and other appetizers. We all enjoyed trying the different kinds of pizzas they offer. We headed back to our guesthouse and gathered for team time - we enjoyed cookies from Fleri, worshipped and shared stories and our words of the day:
