Heartbroken!!!

This morning, we got up at 5:30 to visit Haiti church at 6 am, its huge white tent and there are so much energy people walking back and forth singing, dancing and praying, its so different than I have seen in my life in any church. I could feel the beat of the music just like EBC. Its amazing... Its going on for about 1 hour of music and praying. we left before they start sermon..
 Went to Gertrudes(home of disabled children), the most kids are so playful and others are just unable to play but were able to show smile and laugh.. There is one kid that were 4 months old and weight 6 pounds that were just dropped off few days ago. Ohhhh its heartbreaking for who ever held that boy.. its almost fit less than between my hand and elbow. So sad.  One of our team Carly was teaching a little girl to speak Carlys name and she spoke pretty well for her age. Shes about 2 something. And spoke my name too. So cute and smart. 
 Came back to guest house to take a couple hour break to relieve the emotional and went to hotel across the street for a swim in the pool. So nice to feel cool water in the hot weather.
  After that we had split up group. One group of 7 went to Home of dying/sick children. and other group with Carly, Jenna, Jake and I went to Wounded Clinic that we all volunteer to do the most challenging job. We had to unwrap the old bandage and clean the wound that were so deep or too big and then wrap the clean bandage.  Its amazing how they were dealing with us cleaning with no pain medication. Its just NO word to described at the wounded clinic. God is with them 100%. They are so strong and brave to go thru this pain of cleaning. Its really heartbroken for me to see them dealing. I have had multiple surgery and wounded in my life..  Its just NOT the same......Its just AMAZING!!! I am so glad I choose to go Wounded Clinic instead Home of dying/sick children which I have went to in my first trip...
  Then finally came back to Guest House with nicest meal. We had spaghetti.  I ate as much as I can.
  Tomorrow we will be going to visit at Grace Village, Mass Grave,  Jean-Elders School,  and elders (older than 55)  Haitian 's average life expectancy is 52-55.
 Good night everyone from Haiti!!!
