Fede arrived right on time, when he says something you can always depend on him to keep his promise. I told Kelly that Fede was coming to the guest house at 7:00 a.m. and she said “you mean he might be here by 8:00, I know Haitian time” Wrong! 6:45 and he was here as promised.
Fede hired a tap-tap to take us to the deli-mart to buy groceries and then take us up to Peligre. We had such a pleasant stay at God’s Planet Guest House. Joe, Kelly and the children were a blessing to us. We prayed with them and then took off for the adventure that God has laid before us. The warriors that God has placed with me are hand picked by Him and all will be blessed through Him. After the groceries were bought we headed up the mountain. We stopped in Mirebalais to buy food for the orphanage and got the local rip-off of foreigners, which really angered Fede. Unfortunately, Haitians look at blancs as bundles of money not help. We took our rip-off graciously and headed off to Peligre.
Once we arrived I felt like I was at home, we re-grouped got our chum organized and began the long process of getting caught up on Peligre School of Hope stuff. The latrine that IUMC has sponsored is almost complete and the shower floors have been re-worked to drain better, although it is still slow. The Haitian do the best they can under the circumstances they live in and that is all we can expect. If you want perfect drainage stay home and pay a plumber 125.00 an hour….it is Haiti no matter how you look at it. Praise God for our partnership with IUMC!
It rained like crazy tonight which stopped us from going to the cell phone spot by the dam. Darlene, Fede’s wife treated us to a wonderful Haitian meal of chicken and pikliz. After more rain and a lot of conversation we called it a night. Praise God from whom all blessing flow!
