Lynn & Esther-Good Friday
DAY 5 Good Friday I’ve told you about the background of praise we’ve been going to sleep to each night. Pastor invited us to join them tonight for service. The church is white-washed stone like everything else in the Philadelphia compound. Simple wooden benches, seating for perhaps 300, also white-washed. Simple podium. Raised platform in front for choir. No decorations, pictures, crosses, stained glass, tapestries or banners. Only a bouquet of flowers on a […]
Lynn and Esther-Day 5 (Life in Haiti)
Day 5-written by Esther Life in Haiti is hard. Everything takes immense effort. I’m not complaining rather want to portray how much of the world lives in comparison to American’s abundance. Life in Haiti is vastly different than life in America. The cooking here is done in a cement hut about 5 by 10 feet over hot coals. The coals are brought in on top of women’s heads in bags weighing around […]
Lynn and Esther-Day 1
DAY 1 Hello All -Esther and I arrived safely yesterday afternoon. Flying to Port au Prince was uneventful (except for zero sleep Sunday nite)…trying to get though customs and out the front door of the airport was an adventure. We had been pre-warned to not let ANYONE help us with our bags, but to get out to the sidewalk where Johnson, our pre-arranged taxi driver would be waiting with our name sign. At the luggage carousel […]
Lynn and Esther-Day 3
DAY 3 Wednesday – I have started to write at the end of each day but I am having Internet problems, battery problems, and more importantly writer’s overload – the opposite of writer’s block. I have written pages and pages. There is SO much to say but no words to adequately describe what’s going on here. But I plan to push through with this one today and get it sent to Denny […]
Day 7/8-Boss/Shaw/Bain
With our last day at hand we spent the first part of the morning playing with the kids: Some local people from the church set up a ‘market’ for us to buy some local goods. Pastor is nice to give these people a venue to sell some goods: We decided that […]
Day 6-Boss/Shaw/Bain
Low power is a common theme here (and I am not talking about my strength). I will write a little bit about today and then post all the pictures and you can figure out which picture goes with which story J *Before I begin, an update on Renald. They released him from the hospital as he has a type of TB that is non-responsive to medicine (medicine resistant TB). There is a […]
Day 5-Boss/Shaw/Bain
Today was another awesome day in the “school of Haiti” as Francois always says. We were able to head down the road and help at the Haiti Home of Hope feeding clinic with the Campbell’s. The work they do here is literally lifesaving. Today was for infants, mothers/grandmothers/aunts/neighbors would walk up to 12 miles just to get here. This baby will soon get a surgery in Port-au-Prince! […]
Day 4-Boss/Shaw/Bain
Today started bright and early at 5:30 as we departed for a near by (40 miles=3.5hrs) drive to Cap Haitian. The road conditions is what makes this trip take so long. Pastor usually takes the trip once or twice every two weeks. Today, he needed the American missionary Bill to help carry some lumber back for him, so we took two trucks. This is an absolutely beautiful drive as you look at the […]
