Sunday Reflections

Today was a little bit slower paced. After enjoying cinnamon rolls for breakfast we walked up to check out Sunday School before church. We then attended the church service and heard beautiful music and a great message from JeanJean. On Sunday’s the kitchen help gets the day off which means it was our time to cook and do dishes. Thanks to Julie for spearheading lunch. Following lunch we had some down time to reflect on what we have accomplished in the past couple days. Some enjoyed the hammock, others visited while soaking in the sun, and overall we took time to relax. Something that most of us do not take time to do in our fast pace lives back home. We truly can learn a lot from our friends in Haiti. We could all take a little more time to slow down and reflect on things.

Late afternoon we went for a hike to a cave in the side of the mountain. It was great to get out and about and see where they collect a fertilizer source for crops. They collect guano from the cave for fertilizer. It was also great to eye many different crops and livestock on our hike to the cave. After our hike we once again enjoyed refreshing sour orange juice from the local juice bar.

Tonight we enjoyed a barbecue chicken dinner and the wonderful sounds of the local men’s choir. This choir has been together for over 37 years. They even invited us to join them and sing “When the Saints Go Marching In.” We look forward to our final full day in Haiti tomorrow.
