I decided to go back and recount a few things from the trip and provide a few pictures.
When we arrived in Haiti, Barbara, Vladimir, and Matharim (sp?) met us at the airport. Vladimir quickly became a very good friend to us. He is an amazing 26 year old young man who has taught himself English since he was 6. He speaks very good English and he was a HUGE blessing to us from beginning to end. Matharim is a local pastor who helps with the development. He drives his motorcycle back and forth from home to work site each day. Both are Godly men who serve the Lord with gladness. 🙂
We stayed in a dorm that is located behind a school in Ganthier. First Baptist has been able to rent this dorm for the year in order to provide a safe and comfortable place for teams to stay while working on the site. Here are some pictures from our time in Ganthier.
