Our
travel to Haiti took an interesting turn.
Normally we travel from Atlanta to Port-au-Prince on a commercial
airline and then pick up a local twin properaller plane from Port-au-Prince to
Cap Haitian. Just to make our lives more
entertaining, the small airline made a new policy that you have to purchase
tickets in advance which we did not do.
As it turns out, we had to drive from Port-au-Prince to Terrier Rouge. Our 45 minute flight turned into a seven and
a half hour drive through windy, bumpy, unpaved roads. During our drive, unfortunately, three people
got sick. (Just for the record, none of
the four guys had trouble, but half of the women did. Draw your own conclusions from that....)
We
began Sunday morning with a wonderful worship service led by Pere Bruno, who
spoke recently at First Presbyterian Church of Athens. Several youth recognized him from the worship
service back home. We spoke about
Nicodemus and the transformation he experienced through his talks with Jesus. We related that to our transformations of our
experiences and perceptions of Haiti.
Later
today, we hope to walk through Terrier Rouge and see some of the local
village. We are excited about our time in this place and look forward
to learning more about the Haitian culture.
Please
pray for us as we continue our journey.
We hope to keep you updated on our travels and experiences. Please feel free to comment below.
