TG's Old and New Experiences

Our days start off with our usual routine, waking up at 7 to get ready for breakfast and the day. But today was a little bit different. The girls tied the boy’s door knob handle of their room to the door knob of the bathroom so they could not get out of their room.  After a while of struggling, Jim finally gave in and decided to untie the rope holding the doors closed. After the boys got out, we got ready for breakfast and headed to the water station for our second day of water runs. We did two runs today. Our first stop of the day was new and the second stop we were at the day before in tent city. Both were equally as rewarding and humbling.

After getting back from our water runs, we changed and headed up the mountains to two different markets. The drive was long and a little scary, but we made it safely and purchased many souvenirs for our loved ones and friends back home. We were able to travel all the way to the very top of the mountain and got to see an amazing view of Port Au Prince and City Soleil. Debbie was attempting to point out the different landmarks but some were not so quick to catch on… While buying our souvenirs, we experienced the art of bartering. The sellers were extremely persistent and it was an interesting process to say the least.

 We headed back down the mountain to the guest house and had some free time which was spent at the nearby pool. Mrs. Lienau surprised all of us with her unusual talents underwater. It was a good way to wrap up the day and to recover emotionally from the weight of yesterday.

We thank you for praying for us and keeping us in mind. It has been an unforgettable experience and we acknowledge that the support from families, sta


ff and friends made it all possible. We continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers as well. God bless!
