Haiti Day #2



Great day! Sorted donations( picture above is the "donation" room with TONS of donations) with Elaine (she and her husband were serving at Hope House for 16 days) We had lots to do and didn't feel like we accomplished too much but got some donation bags done for a distribution we'll be doing on Saturday. We also cut a bunch of paper for the Journal Program.
We met Jivenson's birthmother today. She was here for the journal program. She was very quiet and shy and sweet and it was lovely to meet her. Tomorrow we'll go to her house.
We also went to the new property and cleaned a room in one of the containers (it's like the trailer of a semi truck and hopefully will be temporary housing) then Kev and I cleaned the floor and he laid down the carpet. We took some things over to store there.
Last night and tonight Jivenson was so serious and like a little lump until a little after 6pm; then all of a sudden he perked up and was jabbering and laughing and smiling! So adorable and fun! Oh it was awesome...he lets me hold him and cries if I set him down or if he sees his favorite nanny:)
Holding him tonight, he was playful and cuddly, I just started seeing him in our house, in a crib in his room, playing with toys, taking him places...having him in our daily lives and I started to cry....because we have to leave him here and God only knows when he'll come home....I am falling in love.
