Our day in Haiti started early with the sounds of chickens and dogs. Not everyone got up at the same time. I got up to start my devotions while all the others were still sleeping. Jeremy woke us up with the sweet melodies of worship that flowed through my ears like angels from heaven. Breakfast consisted of cornflakes and lots of sugar.
As we were driving to the beach for our outing what really suprised me was the peoples expressions. Some seemed happy and others were nuetral. The rural areas we travelled through were interesting to see as they were miles away from civilization up in the mountains.
Lunch consisted of baked whole fish, rice & beans with plantains. My fish surpised me with a full set of teeth! I am not a seafood fan therefore it was a challenge for me (and many others). Editor's note: I am so proud of our group all of which tried the meal while making it clear that it was very very far from thier dietary comfort zone.
Overall I feel that Haiti is a nation full of people trying to stay positive and in control of life. Thank you for your prayers and support to our team!

Hope you had a great day as you start your adventure. You mean so much to the people of Haiti and to those of us here in Cincinnati. Hugs and kisses to JoEllen, Chelsea and Maddie and everyone else.
ReplyDeleteYeah for interesting mission trip food, no mission trip would be complete without it! We are all praying for you!
ReplyDeleteThe orange bracelets work. I've gotten to tell two people about the trip.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't tell you how many times I've glanced down to catch a glimpse of orange and pray for the team. Love to all and especially Sarah Dobbs:)
