Our Haiti mission team made up of folks from the Sarasota Baptist Church and Agape Flights in Venice, FL
We were the guests of Pastor John and Joyce Hansen of International Missions Organiztion (IMO) and stayed at their compound in Port-au-Prince.
This picture was taken as we were on our way to church services on Sunday
(explains Rod's tie!)

The room on the left was our accommodations
while at the IMO compound. There are 3 efficiency units in this building. All were used by the 3 married couples on our team. The rest of the team was housed in the IMO Guest House on the compound.

Note: the man sitting on top of the concrete wall at the left of the picture.
He's putting stucco on the wall they are building.
These men are sifting sand from the stone pile to make up the mixture used for the stucco on the wall. All work is done by hand in Haiti.
We drove out into the country to visit one of IMO's schools and a medical clinic in Boutan, Haiti.

The children loved seeing their picture on the digital camera
Joyce Hanson travels 1 1/2 hours every Thursday over bumpy, dusty "roads" to run the medical clinic at Boutan
Rod experiences a "near miss" as this donkey approaches on the road at Boutan!
The ladies from Sarasota Baptist put on a tea for the missionary ladies.
The Haitian kitchen staff was most appreciative when they also received pretty tea cups along with other special treats

An exciting time for us all was when the mail delivered by Agape Flights
was handed out to the missionary families!
The biggest treat of the day ... ICE CREAM!
Rod visits with another ex-dairy farmer, Byron Tlucek, who left the herd to
serve God on the mission field in Haiti. That's Isabelle, Byron's adopted daughter in the pink dress busy picking pretty flowers. What a cutie!

Folks came back for seconds and even thirds! Agape and Sarasota Baptist provided this special treat knowing it is rare in Haiti

We traveled up into the mountains with Pastor John and Joyce to a rural IMO church at Terre Rouge for a Sunday evening service. The people are standing in front of the church with the Pastor's house on the left. Yes, that's a pig in the right foreground and many goats were among us, too!
