Lynne's Wrap Up

3-9-15 3:30pm

Bonsoir!  We are on the plane and in the air with an on-time departure from Port-au-Prince and headed to Atlanta where Vince will post final blogs from the team. The weather was so perfect, it’s hard to believe. I don’t think it ever got to 90, perhaps but it didn’t feel like it. We had a good week. The stairs at Bethany House got done and our prayers for safety at the work were answered. We laughed and cried together and I can’t believe how hard it was to leave.

This year our team did a lot of excursions, and really different things than we have ever done before. Pamela asked if we could visit an orphanage and Chris worked hard to arrange that. Not what I expected in a good way. Bill asked if there was a prison and Pastor Voltaire and Jude made those arrangements. Like tent city in Grand Goave, I couldn’t do it. The week is nearing an end and I am emotional and emotionally spent and I knew I should not go. Hearing about it after the fact, I’m glad I didn’t.

As always, I cannot find the words to express how I feel and what I experienced. All I know is I wish America was like Haiti. I know that sounds weird, but I mean it. Jesus is everywhere.
