Notes from my last Haiti trip in August of 07

 

Hey all!
 
Thanks for your continued prayers.  Today was an awesome day, we got to take the kids to the beach.  No matter where you go, taking kids to the beach is always a great time to connect with them.  We also got to experience a lot more of Haiti, which we did not think we would be able to do.  There are so many people sitting out on the street, it's so different but so beautiful.  We drove through the countryside and saw some witch doctors houses (the country still has a lot of voodoo activity) and after a 2 hour car ride we were at the beach.  My favorite part was talking to the vendors there, which I think a lot of us did.  It's crazy because it seems like they only really hound Americans to buy stuff, and we seemed like the only Americans there.  Imagine making your living off of such a small market!  No wonder they are so persistent.  I've included a picture of Daniel and myself, who has two kids and a wife.  I've also included a picture of Cicero and Marie.  Pray for them, please.  On the way back, Karl was tossing out toothpaste and toothbrushes out of the van to people on the street.  We hoped to go to a village tomorrow to visit one of the kid's families but it looks like we're going to try and finish the work we didn't do yesterday.  It's so weird to only have one more day here.
 
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
