Not a Shithole

We made it to Haiti and had a good first day. It’s so good to see our friends and catch up with everyone. Patrick is very sick. He will be getting a new kidney soon, which will hopefully save his life. Everyone else seemed about the same. They all look skinnier, but I’m not sure if that is just my memory failure. They are all good men, trying hard to feed their families and to improve their community. 

Pastor Comeye invited me and Cynthia to preach at his church tomorrow, a Free Methodist church. I’m looking forward to sharing the Gospel with people who are hungry for good news. The next day, we will meet to discuss the scriptures together with the pastors that work with Empowering Haitians. I’m eager to learn from them. 

Anna got the clinic all set up and ready to go. Dr. Benoit, the local dentist, is great, ready to help people in his community who need dentist treatment. He helped us to know that people want deep cleaning as much as getting teeth pulled, so we adapted our plan. 

Tomorrow is worship and beach. This is a beautiful country with wonderful people that needs a lot of help. It is not a shithole.
