Joy abounding

Thursday, Feb 26 Our team visited 5 elders today in Titanyen and provided each with hot lunch, cold juice, singing and prayer, and loved on them with feet washing and massaging with lotion. Highlights from a few of the elders: 105 yr old Marie was very excited to have a reunion with Charlie. A special bond developed between Connie and Marie also. Lindor wanted a beard and hair trim so between Lisa, Connie, Jonas, Karen and Maxim, he blossomed into a handsome "young" man. Edmond enjoyed sitting between Connie and Gina as he ate his lunch. Clecie, full of joy in her heart, joined in as we sang, and she lifted her hands in praise along with us. As her darling 2 yr old grandson leaned on her leg, we massaged her with lotion and washed her feet. She invited us into her home to show us a leaky roof and asked for prayer to fix it. Though her home was sparse, all her things were in its perfect place. Blessings were received by ALL of us! On to Grace Village for a tour of the school, new library, family-style homes for the orphans, aquaponic tilapia farm, the new medical/dental clinic, and the newly built bakery. Impressive!! So much has been done here. On our way back to the guest house, we made 2 stops to hand out Feed My Starving Children manna packs, at the mass grave sites The lines formed quickly as we drove in, with the smallest children at the front of the lines. Eager hands stretched out as we handed them the food.
