Sunday, April 8th, our last full day in Haiti!
Today,
we started the morning with Worship at Church on the Rock. They asked
that we not take pictures (even Lisa obeyed the rule this time) so I will
describe it the best I can.
The
auditorium was filled with local Haitians and visitors with so much
energy! It was addicting and moving. All were dressed in their Sunday
best, and all were welcomed. You would look up and see so many hands
and hearts reaching up praising and worshiping our Lord together. I think I saw
Jane raise her arms. (and a tissue) It was a moving morning as only God can do.
After Church we rode out to
Carries, Haiti for some fun in the sun at Wahoo
Bay. It was a great opportunity to replenish our bodies, mind and soul
for our trip home and the days ahead of us. A well
needed renewal, and God gave us a perfect day for it! Hallelujah!
Brandi showed us her "can
do" attitude once again as she ventured out of her comfort zone and
did some snorkeling with the team. Just
the fact that 13 of us all went on one old fishing row boat is enough to gather
one's courage. (Josh, I sure hope
you got the glue off your foot from the boat.
Another
lesson learned; remember to check out
the equipment before starting to barter the price.)
I think
I saw a mother-daughter kayak race; Kara& Lori definitely earned first
place and took the hardware home! Elise
requested a new partner. J Bodi was “King of the Raft” until Emily&
Rachel joined. Nothing can stop those
two when they are together. 💗
