Going on a Feeding
Well, I have posted three blogs since the last one, all with pictures, and for some reason, they aren't being published. I can still tell you my stories though!
Yesterday I had the opportunity to join a group of teenagers from a couple other orphanages on the mountain, to make the two hour journey to give out rice to some of the more hungry people in Haiti. We drove about two hours through Port au Prince (which is much safer now, by the way) and to the east towards the Dominican. We stopped about a half hour before we would've reached the Dominican and were greeted by Haitians already seated in rows and waiting to receive their rice. We all jumped out of our trucks and led the people in some singing. Someone taught them a Scripture verse and a pastor gave a short sermon. Then we handed out the rice... two for every adult and one for ever child. Then we got back in the trucks, drove a little ways and did the same thing over again at a different spot. It was really great to be a part of the feeding. Jesus asked us that if He was hungry, would we give Him food? Then He said that watever we do to the least of these, we do it unto Him. So I can't think of anything much more honorable than giving food to people who really need it. It was worth the long, hot and bumpy ride in back of the flat-bed trucks, even though I felt as though I was going to throw up for most of the trip! I was able to be a part of bringing food to the Haitians and I made some good Haitian friends as a result!
