Firsts

So today the "big kids" packed into the truck and we headed out for a new adventure- to ride on an elevator.  We drove through crowded streets (although I use this term very loosely) up into the Petion-Ville district to visit the Giant Supermarket.  We had a list of supplies we needed to get for our special cookout on Sunday (in celebration of the fourth of July for all the American teachers and volunteers here).  The kids did an amazing job navigating the store looking for hot dogs and s'more ingredients.  The following are a few pictures of them in the elevator enjoying the ride.  A few kids wanted to walk back down the stairs because they said it made them feel dizzy, but most of them had big smiles on their faces and rode up and down multiple times!  It was a very positive experience helping expose these students to a larger world than they are used to.  I'm so looking forward to seeing how these amazing young adults grow up and how they transform their country.  I have hope that they will do great things for Haiti!  Thanks for following along with me! In Christ, Jessie
