Day 3 of the wonderful ayiti. We made it here with grace. The night before I decided that God was going to figure out
a fifth bag for us. Haiti only
allows for each person to bring 2 bags, but decided that God could figure out a
5th bag out….if the guy can part the Red Sea, a 5th bag
should be nothing, right? We got
there and I had a chance to upgrade to first class, which made it possible to
get the bags on. One for
Jesus..woot woot! Made it to Haiti
with all our bags except Megan’s violin.
Left not having much faith that we would get it, but when you arrive in
Haiti you learn to let it go. No
water, let it go, no electricity, let it go, no bag, let it go. We have been blessed in so many ways
thus far. This morning we were
able to rent a car, buy phones within a span of 40 minutes. In Haiti, that is usually unheard
of…another for Jesus. On top of
that we had a man search for our violin.
I was pretty sure that he wasn’t going to find it and preparing to tell
Megan that we will pay for it.
Wilbur disappears for about 40 minutes and rounds the corner with a grin
and a violin. Ha, wouldn’t you know…crazy. This morning is unheard of in Haiti. The day has been a blessing.
Been a blessing to just embrace Haiti again, missed the
people, missed the country, and missed the energy of the place. Yesterday we went walking and Ryna’s
sandal broke in the middle of the street.
We quickly made a spectacle of ourselves. The “blancs” have a broken sandal. Some offered help for money, which we were without. In response, Ryna transformed into her
sassy and said you are only going to help me for money? They love the jokes. They led us to a man that fixed that
sandal like it was brand new..hahah, comical, we made jokes for a good 30
minutes and then on our way. Love
those moments where two worlds collide in the chaos of the street and it is
just fun.
Headed into Cite Soleil today, which was great to see
everyone. Had a meeting with the
teachers that would be working with the youth in the afternoon. Excited to see the local people pour
into their children through arts and teaching a skill set. Had about 20 people in the room
talking about the youth, which was beautiful in itself. Continued to be humble and thankful for
the opportunity to be present in Haiti and working with the people to pour into
their communities and children.
