Satuday's Events

This post is late because the internet did not work Saturday night.

Today we went back to the church to finish cleaning. Chuck, J P, and Paul went to finish hanging the doors. The last one was wrong so they were not able to finish. About noon, we all went to a Haitian restaurant to eat. We started with a thing that is like a sweet potato, which is battered and fried. That was good. Then we had either white rice with a black bean sauce or muddy looking rice with peas in it. That was rather tasty. We had our choice of spicy meatballs, fried port chunks, chicken, goat, or conk. Conk is a large snail. Someone got it, but we do not know whom. Afterwards we went too little Haiti and walked around. J P was treated to a Haitian specialty. It was a pastry square about 2 ½ inches square and about 1 ½ inches thick. Imagine a very light and fluffy pastry that flakes when you bite into it. Also imagine when you bite into it you find Red Heron inside it. It was spicy and fishy, but overall, it was very good.

Afterwards we went to the Jacobsen’s and had supper there. J P caught a really big carp. The only picture I got was of its tail after J P lost his grip on it and it slithered back into the canal. John Bedford caught two turtles.

After all this excitement, The Mark and his wife gave their testimony. The team was greatly moved by it. After that, we returned to the hotel where we have to get ready to check out and be at the church by 11:00.
