The strong wind andlightning illuminated the shimmering rain that fell during much part of thenight, bringing a temporary freshness and helping to sleep the team that, exhaustedbut very grateful, longed for some rest.The intense heathas not been a very pleasant company, day and night in Haiti. Gradually we aregetting used to the high temperatures and developing strategies to deal withit. During breakfast, laughs,jokes, fellowship and prayers disguise the expectation of activities to be realizedduring the day. Again the team wasdivided into groups to meet the needs: the larger group was to perform ministryfor adults and children in a community led by Pr Herold, a dedicated Haitianwho loves very much his people and that, despite having Masters degree on USA,and being invited to work there, chose to return to his people and be aninstrument of God.

The smile and greeting was intense: Bonjour! The adults, alittle more discrete, approached and politely welcomed us and quitted in theseats, eager to receive the Lords Word. Most part of the childrenvery well dressed, and with impeccable hair, was taking a seat to enjoy thehappy time of worship, games, stories and prayer. Their energy seems to increase,while heat quickly exhausted all our strength. Many of themsurrounded us, talking a lot, and trying to be understood, hugs and laughs werevery understood from both sides. Loves language was noticed, but wordslanguage left to be desired to
