Haiti Day 6 - Sunday Service

This morning was very nice, the rest of the team from the US left for home at 6am and we said our goodbyes then I crashed until 7:45 then frantically got ready for church (just like home!). We went to church just a few minute walk from the Mission Centre at Lanzac and it was a very interesting service…in french! The worship was great. We had to stand up and introduce ourselves, thankfully Pastor Herve translated for us. He also translated some of the sermon for me and I took notes. Since the mission centre was soooo quiet, when we returned our group of 4 sat and had the greatest discussion…for me it sorta felt like the best part of the trip as we began to open up with each other and share the experience.


We swam and looked for shells on the beach in the afternoon and our hosts prepared another amazing Haitian feast of chicken, beans and rice, fried plantain….so good.

Tonight we played cards for the first time and had more fun. The best part of the day was spending so much time with Pastor Herve. We talked with him for hours, he even decided to miss his evening service at St. Marc to stay with us and share more of his story and vision for Mission Possible…plus all of Haiti and beyond for that matter.

Tomorrow we're going back to Montrouis to do a final good clean of the newly laid ceramic tile at the medical clinic as well as sort and clean some of the medical equipment and supplies that have started to arrive in huge train sized cargo containers. Hopefully we can be back mid-afternoon for a final swim and to pack.

It's been a great trip but packing up sure sounds great, I can't wait to come home. We finally got some spare time today and it really made me wish you all were here to share the beautiful sunset we saw on the ocean.
