Hello all! Our
trip has come to an end but we are all so full of joy as we reflect upon this
past week. Today was a very restful day spent finishing construction jobs,
walking around town, and squeezing in the most time we possibly can with the
team members we will not get to see after the trip.
Courtney,
Molly, Hannah, Christina, Caitlin and I helped Gail and Virgil (Inches) wrap up
child sponsorship by entering many new kids into the program and some of our
team members even found a kid of their own to sponsor. The clinic saw more
patients today and Trevor built a cane for a girl with scoliosis. The computer
lab is off to a good start, with new laptops and white boards. After lunch we
had some free time to visit the market, the bakery, a soccer game, and to just
fellowship with each on our last day in Haiti.
I (Abigail)
loved this trip especially because I got to know the youth even more deeply.
Each year, I learn so much from the people I encounter and it has what I look
forward to the most. The Haitians teach me the true meaning of joy in
everything, from dancing as they put their money into the offering plate at
church to greeting us as we pass on the street. I have come to depend on the
Haiti team so much throughout our time in Fort Liberte and I grow to love each
person very much by the end of the week. I would like to thank you all again
for supporting our trips back to Haiti monetarily, and even more so,
emotionally. We would not have enjoyed a blessed week working with such a
wonderful group of people without your support, time, and care.
Please continue to pray for us as we make a difficult transition from an
impoverished country to our fortunate lifestyles in America. Thank you again
for your prayers and for investing so much of yourselves into our trip!
Bon Nuit!
Abigail
