Day of Food

It was a day of food. This morning started off with a rush at 6:30 AM by unloading two truck loads full of an assortment of t-shirts, flour, sugar, shoes, canned goods, baby food, oil…even a dryer! God is so good! Our team worked together, forming two lines to quickly unload the rest of our supply; a truck load and a half of 50 pound bags of beans. We are blessed to have donors that give such generous support! Later we went to market and saw all sorts of culinary delights! We passed everything from small pyramids of fruits and vegetables spread on blankets to several wheel barrows full of coconuts. We made our way to the charcoal fields where they have bags and bags full of charcoal to sell. Many people cannot afford gas or propane, so they use charcoal to light their fires to cook their food.After painting and some small repairs around the mission, we finished the evening with a Haitian style meal. The team feasted on rice and beans, goat, chicken, beets, pasta salad, fried plantains, and a few other dishes. It was very extravagant and delicious. It was the perfect ending to our day of food.
