Today was our fourth day in Haiti, and quite an eventful one…as seems to be the pattern here. Landon was home sick, which was no good. Everyone be praying that his stomach will settle back to normal so that we can get back out in it as soon as possible.

As for the rest of us…we took off for rain forest to see the vanilla, and then to the school bright and early. As usual, it took us half the day to get there. But we made it…and man, it was worth the wait!

Many things happened, as you’ll see in the photos…but for the sake of our lack of steady internet and power I’m going to jump right to the end of the day.

We were at the village and decided to cross the river where several of the school kids come from. It was literally like stepping into a new world. We suddenly found ourselves in the middle of a community…a village that had never before seen a white person! To be completely honest with you, I didn’t know that places like that existed anymore. Certainly not this close to the United States!

We spent some time there with the people, and the entire village came to join us at the house of a woman and her children who we were interviewing. During the interview I asked the woman, and the village if they were Christians or if they practiced voodoo. I had no clue what to expect, as they were some of the most remote people in the world.

After a few seconds of silence an older man stepped up in the crowd and spoke something in creole. Allen, our translator turned and said to me, “Of course they’re Christians!”

wow.

God is HUGE.

That’s all for now…enjoy the pics and hopefully we’ll get a video up here soon!
