Guerline "Tita Lucien cutting freshpineapples. We had bananas that morning also and one morning we had fresh squeezed grapefruit juice- SO good!
The chickens are losing their
feathers here. I know people
still do this but I don't and
certainly not outside dipping
a chicken in boiling water
in a kettle over hot charcoal!
Tonight we are in Miami resting after great time of Haitian stories and other various mission trip experiences with Pastor Rollo and his wife.
This afternoon flight from Cap into Port au Prince was smooth! So grateful because if the flight was going to be so nerve wracking and seemingly dangerous I was committed to instead take the 7 hour bumpy bus ride next trip! Then a quick drive to the larger airport down the road from a friend of the Lucien family and we were ready to catch our flight into Miami; well that is after my first pat down with security at the airport. It wasn't so bad and honestly wasn't that thorough I could ha
ve had a ton of stuff hidden if I wanted.
Flying away from Haiti was sad and I felt a sence of inadequacy in my faith. I witnessed and experienced the deep love and faith of those that have so little. I've seen intense devotion and contentment and here I am with all that America offers and do I love my God and Creator with the depth that my Haitian brothers and sisters have? This is something I will ponder and pray about and know that part of going into a country such as Haiti is more about changing me than it is in helping them.
Will toss up some pictures and off to a bed without the net around me and no fears of animals with long tails to terrorize me.
