Day off at the beach
Our day off spent at the Wahoo Bay beach just North of Port au Prince was a great time! We went snorkeling, swimming and did some sunbathing too. There were sand crabs all over the beach and we even saw a giant barracuda! A relaxing day in the sun for sure.

On the way back into PAP last night, there were Haitian police everywhere putting up road-blocks in preparation for President Préval doing a drive-through, likely for the national holiday. There were tons of people out so we were thinking he couldn't have been too far behind us. We considered waiting to watch him go by but thought that it might not be a good idea safety-wise and/or that we might get caught in traffic later. We did end up hitting a goat that darted into the road - that was scary but the goat apparently got up and walked away.
All things considered, I am enjoying my time here. I don't feel like I've made the type of progress one would hope for, although in Haiti you have to be flexible, they keep telling me. So I helped out the optometrists last week and other stuff. I just can't get over Haiti, though. The need here seems insurmountable. Praise the Lord that we were born into priviledge and pray for the transformation and revival of Haiti.
Please also pray for my brother-in-law's family as his grandpa passed away last night. Many people will be traveling to attend his funeral.
