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. During
2 the stories and hugs, Man in
terrupted with, "You need to
l put some Aloe on that sun
burn."
Some things never change,
