It’s
been a busy day and it’s awful late, so this will be short tonight. We had an amazing day planting trees in
Turpin, which is a village about an hour up the mountains. It was a great journey with captivating views
and so many enlightening snapshots of Haitian life. It’s rare to get a chance to get into the
mountains, where life and people are often quite different from life in Port au
Prince or lower lying areas. We got all
our trees planted and also got another incredible perspective into Haitian
life.

We
also were able to spend time in the fields that grow the rice and beans that
are being purchased for Mission of Hope’s meal packing program. One of the most
valuable experiences was listening to and asking questions of a Haitian farmer,
who is part of MOH’s agricultural program.
We stood in his fields that were tilled by hand with picks and learned
an incredible amount about his life and the agricultural program.

Tuesday
night is also a powerful evening, due to MOH’s mid-week worship service. Tomorrow, we will pack meals in the morning
and work in Leveque in the afternoon.
Bonwi (Good night)
