DAY SEVEN
Today was a hard day for different reasons than the past number of days......today was the day that our team had to split up and say good bye to a few of it's members. Some of us had to return home to the states a day ahead of the others. When you spend the week going through so much together it is just not the same having our chain missing a few links.
That being said our group got up early to see off our members at the airport and bid them safe travels home. The remaining team then proceeded to Rendez-Vous Christ Church to take part in an amazing morning of worship. The music was outstanding as usual & the sermon was very pertinent to these troubling times we are all facing.
After some down time at the house we made our way back to the airport to get our Covid tests. Everyone came back negative! (Sigh of relief)
We spent the rest of the day cleaning, and packing and getting ready for our trip home. Even though it is our house ladies day off, they prepared an outstanding meal of shepherd's pie for us! They take such good care of us, which is much appreciated.
It is also a difficult day because you are faced with the daunting task of trying to re-enter into each of our normal day to day lives. We have so many emotions right now inside of us, that it can be difficult to find the words to explain what has been seen, heard, or felt. Speaking for the team, I ask that everyone have patience with us and send prayers. The Lord gives each of us heartbreak, so that he can fill that hole up with Love.....making our hearts stronger than before.
Our mission was not to come to Haiti and solve anything. It was not to fix anything. It wasn't even to try and change anything. Our mission was to come to Haiti and give them LOVE. And that is what we did........and it was enough.
