Haiti Day 8

Jan 4th, 2008 by Joe Pelli

We woke up early again and took the mission truck in the rain to the airport. I don’t know why it didn’t dawn on us that it was going to rain on us if we were in the back of the truck; I guess it is just more fun that way. I was grateful we had a ride because last time our ride didn’t wake up, then his battery died and his friends tire was flat and we would have been stranded had God not given us an empty and hirable tap-tap. We hung out at the airport for a while and sang a few praise songs. It was our spectacle for the day. Another sweet thing to look at was the double rainbow that surrounded our plane as we flew back to the South of Haiti. When we got back to Port au Prince I realized how sick Matt really was and I was glad that we had a place to stay instead of having to explore the city without a plan or place to stay. We stayed at the Visa lodge again and met a Dr. Green who made a point to tell me it is illegal in Haiti to practice medicine without a license…I gotta work on that. The day was mostly gone but after travel logistics we met with Dr. Green and he gave his view of the passion of the Christ through the eyes of a surgeon. Definitely an interesting perspective. Then time to sleep.
