Before breakfast the driver, Immanuel, and vehicle arrived
to take our luggage to Gens de Nante. Our 50 lb bags of luggage were easily
lifted on top of the van and it was well tied down. Several hours of driving
lie ahead but we have received word tonight that it all arrived safe and sound.
Today was time change in Haiti so when church began this
morning at 0800, it was pretty early.
After a bit of singing, we listened to a very animated message in Creole that
seemed to go on and on. One Haitian commented to us today that we still
experience the confusion of the tower of Babel.
This afternoon we met with three of the executive of the AEM (Association of Mission Churches - Haitian branch of EMCC)
and looked at the medical clinic here that is sitting vacant. It was a bit
overwhelming to see the conditions. Marilyn had spent 11 years here as a
nursing missionary, having left in 1994. The clinic has operated off and on over
the last number of years. It is in a state of disrepair and one of the executive pastors said he felt like Nehemiah when the walls of Jerusalem needed rebuilding and he had a deep desire to rebuild.
