Last Saturday, Mike & Joanna's family and ours went to the mountain town of Fond Verrettes which is about an hour and a half from us. We had contacted 12 churches and 7 schools to distribute clothing packets. This was one of the more fulfilling days we have had since we have been in Haiti. It was a blessing to be able to give something to a people that were truly appreciative of what they received.
Beautiful agriculture on the way up the mountain.

Our first stop was at Yonel's house, a good friend of the mission who coordinated the distribution. Here is Joanna and Wendy after we were served coffee, bread and Haitian beans and rice.
This is Yonel and his madam.
After a time of prayer and singing we were ready to unload.
The crowd patiently gathered around the truck waiting for their number to recieve their bags.
Then they carried them back to their churches to distribute to their congregations.
Some went down the road, others up the mountain path.
And Madam Yonel probably fed you three times that day, too? :) Looks like a good day. We're keeping you in prayer.
ReplyDeleteWhat Brad said. Those pictures of Yonel and his Madam sure brings back memories. :)
