HritL CENITNUED FHCM P£GE 1 mattress on a three-high bun bed. We were assigned to ou work site teams for the week My team was city park restore tion; others were church-benc making, Bible Edstributicn, chi! dren's ministry, police static restoration and well drilling Ebch grotp also had at least cn Haitian missionary who serve as a translator. We were given four days t work with our assigned teams and then the fifth day was allot ted for relaxation and celebre ticn. DffiT CNE we received instruction tha vie were to paint the fence sur rounding the park, paint th fountain in the middle and pic up all the trash inside. W oouldn't ootplete the project be cause our paint hadn't arrived but trash was strevm everv where. We must have collecte ewer 40 tags of trash this day. We put in a full day's work then headed back to. the bas around 5 p.m. for a dinner o rice with sane sort of stew a tqp. DAY TVvO Day two was probably my fc \odte. The paint arrived, and w worked an the fence as fast a we could. On the way back froi lunch, I ran into a lady hole ing a baby. I thought the bab was adorable. Her mothe spoke broken English, but wa eager to let me hold and pla; with eight-month-old Jennifer After only a few minutes Jennifer's 21-year-old mothe asked me if I wanted her bab to take back to the Unite States. Assuming she was jo)< ing, I replied with "I wish could," and went on. DAY THREE We continued painting tb fountain and the farce. I was be ginning to doubt if we'd finis the fence by the tine we left. While painting I heard some are yell, "Lad^" at me. I looke over and it was baby Jennife: and her mother. Jennifer'; 11 " 1 mother came to rre and said that Jennifer had cried all night be cause she was hungry. Lauren Jones, a second-year public re lations studant an the trip, and I < gave her sane fresh water and food to take back with her. r Jennifer's mother told me she had the papers for Jennifer and asked again if I'd take her n back to the United States where she would be cared for. I n couldn't believe how serious she was. If cnly I was about five 5 years older, I would have 3 agreed in a heartbeat, but I knew what I had to say. It was n hard to do, but I let her knew , that I was unable to take her baby. I went back to the base that night hardly believing what had happened. EftY FOUR : This was our final day of - work. We had a lot more fence 5 to paint, and I tad little faith we c would finish. It seated like tie 5 fence was growing. Thankfully some of the man , bers of other teams had finished their work early and decided to 3 lend us a hand. We worked all , had planned to accomplish for 2 the week. E We had seen many situations 1 throughout the week that sad dened us because of the Haitians' hunger and thirst, such as when children pointed to their stomachs to indicate 2 how hungry they were. j The whole week was an eye opening, life-changing experi n era for all of us. Not only did God work miraculous wonders r - such as when children and : adults became Christians in i Haiti — but changes were made r in our lives as well. Not only did we become closer to God through the experiences in : ifeiti, we developed a greater ap r preciaticn for all we are given 1 in America. When we arrived in [ Columbia, I decided to drive hone and share all of my sto ries with my parents.
