Prayer Partner of the Day: Emily Ronis
Sundays are a wonderful day in Haiti. Usually we rise early and go to a beautiful worship service. Today, however, we awakened in Port Au Prince! Bill and Chris came banging on my door early, as they had read the airplane itinerary wrong, and we needed to be at the airport much earlier than anticipated! Never a dull moment in Haiti...!
After saying goodbye to Chris, we eagerly awaited Meg's arrival. To pass time, we had a bit of fun!
It was a lazy day in the Kia for the most part. We jumped up and down to greet Meg, stopped for the clean restrooms, and enjoyed the company of Ancy. Once we arrived at the monastery, and saw that Bob and co were out with Surpris in Port Au Prince, we decided to take an outing to Jacmel. Bill and Meg had never been, and Ancy, Daniel, and I were eager for R&R. At Hotel Lamandu, we had our fruit punch and enjoyed the luxury of wireless internet to connect with the world.
The ocean was so blue, only to be matched by the gorgeous sky. Arnie was in heaven, clearly!!
Tonight, when we arrived back at the monastery, I was more thankful than ever for Bob. Bill and his daughter Meg were on one side, and Jim and his daughter Peggy were on the other. Bob truly became my father, as he has so many times. How lucky I am to be surrounded by such loving and caring individuals! God has truly blessed me not only with this mission, not only with a Haitian family, but with kindhearted people to work and serve alongside! Peace, my friends!
