While others have blogged regarding our physical experiences here in Haiti, I would like to share with you the determination, courage, and emotion of this country. It has been told that a Haitian can do most things needed to survive with a 5-gallon bucket, a rope, and a machete. Their “can do” attitude enables them to use every scrap available. A positive outlook and an “attitude of gratitude” help them as they make their way. Joy is seen on their faces over the smallest incidences and help. This mission trip is a way to show our love for the Lord and to help the Haitians. The rewards are tremendous and raise the question of “who” is the receiver.
