MTH Canada BlogMission to Haiti Canada

I apologize for the delay in posting yesterday’s blog; the internet was cutting out every few minutes and wouldn’t stay connected long enough to upload everything reliably even though it seemed to have uploaded at the time.  So to make amends and stay on schedule for our early departure tomorrow I am attempting to write and upload this blog and photos in the middle of the afternoon.  The construction crew is busy completing the tying of rebar in the second footing for the bridge.  The Haitian workers have completed the pouring of the concrete in the first footing and may end up pouring the second one today or within a few days at the latest.  Another crew is busy placing the stick framed truss and tin roof on the house.  The sponsorship team is busy wrapping up the final details with the sponsorship program following their morning of distributing gift boxes and taking updated photos in Faveau.  The medical team is still in Faveau providing assessments for the Haitians that attend their mobile clinic there.  In an hour or two an frenetic clean up and inventory will begin before and after dinner so that we will be ready to board the bus to the airport at 5AM.  As with previous mission teams we intend to participate in a talk around tonight where we all will have the opportunity to share our perspectives on how Haiti has affected us and what we have learned and shared and how this may have reshaped some of our thoughts and attitudes.  Please pray that we may enjoy this reflective time and that we may have safe travels home.  Thank you for following along with the events and special moments here in Haiti; we hope you will continue to keep the people of Haiti in your prayers and that you will continue to support and pray for us as well.   As you may have deduced, this blog was not posted on Friday and this was because the internet had crashed so we apologize for this.  We have since arrived home safely and thank God for safe travel.  To view photos from Friday click here.
