Haiti means “land of mountains”, and today we drove through some of them on the way to our clinic. This is a beautiful part of Haiti, with beautiful beaches that beg to be developed as they have been on the other side of the island in the Dominican Republic. The Haitians on our team complain that only the bad things and not the good and beautiful about Haiti are ever reported. They have a very good point- when was the last time you ever heard something good reported about Haiti? And there are many good things here.
In the clinic we had a woman come in with vague pains who was 103, and looked pretty good. She passed her medical exam with a good report. She said her secret was working in the fields and eating lots of fruit. She has great-great grandchildren!
I was very pleased to hear first hand testimony of some of our mwc missionaries who had an eye to see the beauty of our country. Has anyone wondered if the situation was bad all over why so many foreigners are purchasing lands in the outskirst of Haiti for vacation?
