Trips to Cap Haitian on both Monday and Wednesday reminded me how thankful I am that we live in the country and do not travel regularly. The worst stretch of road remains between us and Limbée.
Monday we started the day with a bit of school before Cory, John Pierre and I headed out to town.
Andy caught a ride as far as Limbée. The bank found an error on our letter and so a bit of a wait for the correction to be made.
Then we headed to visit a mission just South of the airport. Second Mile Haiti works with ill and malnourished infants, young children and their mothers. Their property sits on great soil and their gardens are doing nice but not many fruit trees yet.
During our short visit Cory saw the property and plans to return in a couple weeks with some fruit trees that should do very well there and provide the ministry, as well as the local people to a source for nutritious greens and fruits.
We hurried to the airport to be on time for the Rhonda's flight only to wait an hour for her arrival.
Prayed that the clouds would not drop lower and thankfully the planes could still land.
While I waited Cory made a short trip to pick up some donated books in English for Eli's library project.
Once we met Rhonda we headed for lunch. The place we intended to go is closed on Mondays but a staff member leaving pointed us a couple doors down to a very nice hotel/restaurant where we all enjoyed goat.
Back at home we continued to talk and included Eli and Anna. On Tuesday morning we toured a bit of Port Margot and the campus.
Tuesday afternoon all four of us enjoyed learning more about adoptions and hearing personal stories from Rhonda about her family's experiences.
Because of heavy rains in central Haiti plans to hold classes in Cap on Wed. were changed. Rhonda could not travel overland to the second couple's home but needed to fly back to Port-au-Prince and then travel several hours north to reach their location.
Today and tomorrow we'll finish up a few documents, work on school, as Cory firms up plans to travel to LaGonave next week to met with some Canadian college students studying agriculture who want to learn about LaGonave and Haiti.
