Our trip has come to an end, as every great thing must. It has been my privilege to travel with and journey through Haiti with my mom, Punky and Elise. It was a great combination. It was nice for me to return and see that much of the rubble has been cleared. Don’t get me wrong, there is still lots to do but it was a definite positive change. That I never take lightly.
We started our Sunday morning worshiping at Port au Prince Fellowship. I just love it there.
We then met my friend TiJean and went out to lunch at Visa Lodge. All the outdoor seating was occupied so they asked if it would be alright if we sat in this special room. I said yes and it was the greatest gift ever to two ladies, it had air conditioning!!! What a treat. It did feel good but I had to leave twice to warm up.
After lunch, TiJean took us to his internet cafe he just opened, he was so proud. We then took a short walk to his small, simple ,one room home that he shares with this brother and cousin. It was so fun to spend time with him and he was so happy to show us all he had.
We are packing up to head home in the morning. Before our fight we are planning to go to the Heartline school where the students are putting on an art fair tomorrow. It will be so cute to see the kids and see all they are learning.
Hope all of you had a great weekend. Good night one last time from Haiti!
