A perfect Sunday!

Today was such a great day!  This country is constantly surprising me with its hidden treasures and beauty.  After church, Kez came over and we all had lunch together.  Then, we loaded our bags with sunscreen and bottled water.  We were going on an adventure!

Kez, Mich, Chacha and I hopped in the truck and met up with a bunch of other "youngsters" aka people in their 20's and we headed off to the "oasis".  We drove about 9 miles and then parked along the side of the road.  Then, we followed a small riverbed/stream up the mountain.

After walking through the stream past men, women, and children bathing and doing laundry in it (and also the occasional cow), this is what we found...

Notice Chacha in his skivvies (which fell off and floated downstream later).

I think that we all felt like we were 5 years old again.  We all ran under the water splashing, laughing, and playing as much as Mich and Richardson.  It was the first time that I've actually been cold since I arrived in Haiti, ha!  It truly felt like an oasis in the desert, and it provided for a great outing!

The best part of the whole outing was that we got to minister at the same time.  While we were playing in the falls, a decent sized group of Haitian men, women, and children had started to gather to watch us.  Since Kez is fluent in French and Creole, she went over and talked to them.  It turns out, they were waiting for us to leave so they could bathe in the falls.  Before we left, we all laid hands (wet hands) on them and prayed for God's blessing and provision. It was the perfect end to a perfect day.
