I got up today really excited about the agenda for the day. Since it is Saturday, we got to take a group to the market to see how the Haitians do their shopping. We had also planned on going to La Fordge and the waterfall. Half of our group did not want to go to the waterfall so we organized 7 interpreters and about 50 Americans and headed to the market, which is about 2 miles from the mission base. Once we got to the market we spilt the group up into the group that was going to the waterfall and the group that was going back to the mission. What an adventure this was because in each group there were only 2 or 3 people that knew what was going on and where they were going to keep track of 20 plus Americans. Around 1215 we got to the church in La Fordge and took a break for lunch before we headed to the waterfall. The walk to the waterfall was easy and quick, mostly because people were tired of walking at this point. We spent about an hour and a half at the waterfall swimming and playing. Once we got back to La Fordge we lost Cara and Vogly because Cara wanted to stay and visit with some people from that community. The rest of us made our way back to the market at which time half of our group decided to take a tap tap back to the mission and the rest of us walked. Saturday night consisted of hanging out at the mission and getting the luggage that came in sorted and put away and trying to find a place for the new group to sleep. After dinner and devotions some of the interns and interpreters sat around and chatted about times past. Then it was time for bed so away I went. Peace
