Hey bloggers! It’s Braedyn, Erin, and Lindsay comin atcha
live from Haiti. Today was our final day
here. We started the day, as always,
with a spoonful of vitamin B to ward off those pesky mosquitos. No Chikungunya for these gurlz ;). After our nutritious breakfast, we attended a
unique worship service held right up the stairs on the balcony of our humble
abode. The dress code was “jammies for
Jesus”. #Sundaysbest. After the service, we loaded up the tap-tap
with snacks, sunscreen, sandals, and swimsuits ready for a fun sun-filled
day. The team, the long-term
missionaries from Grace Village, and our friend, James, all ventured off to
Wahoo Beach! It was a bumpy 90 minute ride, but the pot holes don’t faze The
Super Troopers.
The suspense
was killing us, but we finally arrived at the beautiful Wahoo Bay Beach
Resort. We admired the beauty that God
created. It was a big contrast to the
other places we saw in Haiti. Surrounded
by mountains with sparkling, turquoise waters in front of us, and lush foliage
all around us, we were stunned by the beauty at Wahoo Bay. It didn’t take long until we “dove in” to the
fun in the sun! We took full advantage of all the amenities the beach had to
offer. First we snorkeled with questionable
equipment, but hey, it was only 5 dollars! We also gave James swimming lessons in 20 feet
of ocean waters. Who didn’t learn how to
swim that way? It was fun watching his reaction after seeing a coral reef for
the first time! In his words, “It was amazing! It was better than good!!” Some
of the group went to relax on the water trampoline and the more adventurous
teammates took on the Jet-skis!
It
was a great day to kick back, relax, and bond as a team. Seeing the stunning beauty of Haiti was such
a hopeful experience for all of us, and a great way to end the week. We hope that more people will get the chance
to see that there is more to Haiti than devastation and poverty. Our team has been so amazing all week and we
are sad to leave each other. We are
thankful that God put us together to serve here. From the eventful days spent serving together
to the nights spent salsa dancing, our team has had so many memorable
experiences. We are so thankful for
this week and the relationships we formed with each other and the people of
Haiti. We can’t wait to come back! Glwa
pou Bondye!
