Mission Trip to Haiti: Day 7

I woke up and was determined to go to the jobsite today.  We had biscuits and Haitian gravy for breakfast. Instead of having the traditional gravy with sausage, our gravy had eggs in it.  It was interesting.

It was going to be our last day at the jobsite, and we also wanted to visit a house that was previously built to say hi and give them some gifts.  We decided to go say hi first.  The other house was the complete opposite direction from our jobsite and was on a mountain overlooking the Caribbean.  The mountain was so high, that our SUV couldn't even make it up to the house.  We had to walk at the steepest part.  When we got there, I was awe struck.  I felt like I was on top of the world.  Homes for Haiti had built a $10,000 house with a $1,000,000 view.  We were able to give the kids of the area some treat and toys and gave the home owner a water purification system and a Radio that plays the Bible.

We eventually headed back to our jobsite and dedicated the house to the future homeowners.  It neat to see their appreciation and hear how the house was going to make an impact on their lives and the lives of those around them.  We also gave them a water purification system and a Bible on radio.  The understanding we have with the homeowners is that they will hold bible-studies in their home with the neighbors around them.

Once they left, we finished up the roof and other last minute things and headed back to the Villa.  That evening we had the chance to have dinner with the pastor of the church we partner with in Port-au-Prince.  Members of their sister churches were their and we enjoyed an evening of fellowship and fun.
