Day 7: The Final Day Today was a mixed-bag day. With joy we look forward to coming home and being with our families, but with sadness we say au revoir to some people for whome we deeply care. We’ve learned from our Haitian coworkers as we hoped they have learned from us. It has become abundantly clear to us God has been at work this week. It was evident in the seemingly supernatural energy we were provided to (sort of) keep up with our Haitian colleagues all week, the synergy with which we worked with them despite our language barrier, and how our own team bonded in our love and support of our mission and work. While the cistern isn’t quite complete, we enjoyed witnessing how much was completed throughout the week, the incredible process by which it was built, and we are proud that we were a part of it. We have enjoyed many conversations, jokes, teasing, and praising with many of the folks in Duplan, including the local pastor Claude, Edzair, Lemaire, Elijah and many others to whom we were introduced. We were treated with great respect and gratefulness by all we came across in Duplan and, as a team, we are humbled and honored to represent our Reynoldsburg UMC community, the Methodist church, and most all Jesus Christ to the Duplan community. May God continue His great work in Haiti after we leave, as well as continue to work in our hearts when we arrive home. As we share our Haiti story to our friends and family at home in the coming weeks, we pray that the words we use are not our words, but the Lord’s. God bless the people of Haiti.
