My last full day in Haiti and it was a great experience for me. I rode with Frenaud the young man who interpreted for me on a tap tap out to his house. I was amazed how efficently tap taps ran. Going out to his home we had to change three times and we never waited we got off one right onto another and it left. Each ride cost 5 gourdes. You paid when you got off. and each one was full when it started except the first one where Frenaud and I were the only two riders.
In the past I sent Frenaud some funds for his family to build a wall around their property and he has wanted me to see how the money was used. So I was happy to have finally made it to his house. His father had a new church built and we saw it and the small home they build on their property. Then they made a great Hatian lunch for me. The neatest thing was when I prayed for the church, the pastor and his family. They have plans to build an orphanage, a school and a new house.
I am so thankful for the opportunity to visit with them I was able to take their pictures with my pad and they were so excited to see their picture. In their small home they have eight children and I could see the love and respect the children had for their parents. The love the parents had for their children. Frenaud's mother told me God had blessed her with 8 children.
The class today was small because it was a holiday so there was no school but the class again had lots of questions. They asked me to come back and teach then again.
I plan to return in April and it is my hope to continue to work with the people of the school and Temple of Faith along with working with the people at CONASPEH.
My last motorcycle ride was without incident. Rudy my driver from Walls laughed at me when he saw me in my helmet. Not much traffic on the street today because it was a holiday. Daniel was a good driver and I made another new friend. We are going to connect on facebook. I do not think i want to go this route again.
I had many adventures this time, took some risks and came out of it with out a scratch. I have to say it was worth it.
I am ready to go home a share my adventure. I only wish others could share my experience or better yet have their own. If anyone is interested in traveling with me next time to Haiti let me know. It will be an experience you will never forget.
