Day 7 - Church, Mountain, Soccer




Greetings loved ones, today’s blog post is from the hilarious Emma Carlson and the man, the myth, the legend…Jonas Larson. This is a day like no other, prepare yourself. We started the day out usual with devos in the morning and breakfast. We went to Port-au-Prince Fellowship church. A lot of the songs are familiar songs that we sing at Rockpoint Church. It was really cool to see and hear the passion that the Haitian & missionaries people worship with. The sermon was about spiritual gifts and went into great depth on each one. Then, after the church service, we started our trek up the mountain. We drove through Port-au-Prince to Bautillier, the mountain that overlooks the slums, the ocean, and even the guesthouse. The view was breath taking. We had lunch at the top of the mountain at a restaurant that was safe for eating. While up on top of the mountain, the team used their finely tuned bartering skills to purchase unique items that fit each one of our personalities and made us feel complete. After that we started our trek back down the mountain. We stopped by a grocery store on the way back to the guesthouse, which was very surprisingly like the ones we have in America. Upon arrival of the guesthouse, we as a team, played soccer with the neighborhood kids. As you may have noticed about Raena, she is a baller. She scored 4 goals in that game, which resulted in a win for the White(Blan) people (3 of us) team (plus 2 Haitians). The dinner was extravagant, we give it 5 stars. All I can say about it is…Pb&j tastes heavenly after a long day. Now the team is off to bed at a crisp 7:30 to prepare for our flight tomorrow. Pray that Jonas does not have a middle seat because he is 6’5” and long legs don’t fit in the middle seat. On the other hand Emma is perfectly fine with a middle seat because she is 5’1. Stay tuned…until next time. This has been the only post that will ever come from Emmca and Jonas. Goodnight, you have been a wonderful reader. Nothing but love. 
-Emma C & Jonas L
