I love Sundays in Grand Goave. Sabbath is done well here. Church this morning, then relaxing back at the beach property this afternoon, barbecue chicken for lunch, and eventually church again this evening.
backing up to yesterday, the rest of our trip was fairly uneventful, which in Haiti is a good thing. Our flight got in a few minutes early (which never happens), we collected all of our bags from baggage claim (which is SO much calmer and more organized than it was on previous trips), and made our way to the parking lot where Cheribin came and picked us up. No fighting through crowds with people trying to grab your bags and 'help' so you will tip them. An actual paved parking lot with a shaded waiting area. So different, but good different for sure. We rode to Grand Goave in the big red truck, and it was really interesting to see how so much has changed since June, but yet, how some things are still exactly how they were. Some of the roads are cleaner, many are not, some buildings are being rebuilt, a few still haven't been touched. So much work has been done at the beach property - the new guesthouse and choukoun are wonderful! We'll bring many many pictures back to share. :)
More later, but just wanted to let you all know that we got here safely, are having a great trip so far, and can't wait to get started on projects first thing tomorrow! Thank you for all of your prayers for us.
to Him be the Glory!
