Turpin

This past week I had the opportunity to go with my team to a village in the mountains called Turpin. It was beautiful! It was about an hour ride up through the mountains every day and it was so refreshing to be surrounded by such beauty. [Pictures in previous post]

One day we got stuck in the mud, [Pictures in previous post] and as we’re jumping up and down on the back of the canter to gain some traction, the driver turns off the canter. And at this point, we remember the 25 minute hike we took on Monday [with our 5 gallon buckets of paint, all of our other paint supplies, and water] where he has parked is further away than Monday, and we’re down two people from the day before. Things are looking pretty dismal and attitudes have plummeted. So I asked for someone to pray. And as she started praying, the driver turns the canter back on, we make it through the mud, closer than we did on Monday, and when we park, our translator comes to the back and says, “We’re gonna wait here for a minute because they're sending a donkey to carry the supplies today.” WHAT?! That’s awesome!! Because a. we don’t have to carry all of our supplies, and b. we are in the middle of nowhere in Haiti, using a donkey. [Pictures in previous post]There are just some days here where I laugh and say, I live in Haiti. This was definitely one of those days. Not to mention the sudden change of events was awesome and we were so thankful to the Lord for providing (a donkey, y’all!) for our needs. He is so trustworthy.

Some pictures from time in the village this week:

As I’ve been here for a little over a month and a half now I’m able to process more and see that I’m learning how to trust Him more, rely on Him, and through His gentle grace, learning more about the Holy Spirit. 

Thank you to all of those that were willing to support me financially to be here in Haiti. You are a part of this journey too and through that, you’re loving and serving the Haitian people as well. If you’re reading this and feel led to do so, I would still love your support as I have not yet met my goal. You can go to www.mohhaiti.org/ There is an orange button in the top right hand corner that says DONATE TODAY. Click on that and then fill out the information it asks for. In order for MOH to know that it is to fund my internship, please be sure to put my name in the notes box.

Pase bon nwit, zanmi mwen! That's Creole for "Have a good night, my friend!"
