FRIDAY November 12
This morning we say goodbye to Tina and Cheryl. They will fly back to Port Au Prince and then catch an international flight back to the US. I will fly with them into Port Au Prince to make sure there are no issues and return to Les Cayes this afternoon.
As a missionaries they model everything a mission leader could ask for…a willingness to do anything asked of them and they approached each task with zeal and a positive attitude. They were amenable to walking goat trails and through mud, going into homes, holding babies, swinging a hammer and praying when called upon. Tina was even agreeable to riding on the top of the truck to make extra room inside.
I recall one of the discussion the three of us had just days before coming to Haiti was, “could three people make an impact?” Decidedly, decisively and unequivocally WE have made an impact. I have enjoyed our week together and will miss them.
I convince Fabiola and Betty to join me for lunch while I am in town. I am pleasantly surprised to see Guerda is with them. Over lunch they pepper me with questions about the Haiti To DC project. Fabiola will come to Plaisance tomorrow.
