Golden ~Eye~

We are sitting in the Port Au Prince airport right now and our flight is delayed. We are all very tired and excited to come home. The last thing we did today was cook an american lunch for the Hatians, hamburgers and pasta salad. I don’t think they knew what a hamburger was. They looked at it funny and watched how we ate it before they did. Cooking a lunch in a small village in a third world country is a bit tricky. The cleanliness certainly isn’t up to our standards. Between the flies and dirty water we used to clean with I think some of us were a little worried about the safety of the food. However we felt it was important to serve and share a meal with our brothers and sisters we grew so close to this week. I know that God was glorified as we sang songs of worship and ate food cooked in dirty conditions together, and I know He is bigger than germs and bacteria. The spirit of the Lord was present at the clinic today and the safest place to be is in God’s will. It took quite a while to say goodbye, I had to crack the whip to get people on the truck and many people from the village ran after the truick waving and blowing kisses as we drove away. It was a quiet ride to the airport as we pondered what we experienced together. In just a few hours we will be back in the states and we will come face to face with affluence and self centeredness we have not seen in 10 days. It will take a while to adjust, please allow your family members time to settle back in, I won’t say give them time to get back to normal because I know they will never be the same after spending this much time with the beautiful people of Haiti. We will see you all soon, thank you for making this trip possible for all of us. Your sacrifice has not gone unnoticed. God Bless.
