(Quick note, I will be posting the final entry on Monday August 16th as the next two days will be filled with way too much stuff for me to sit down and fully type out the final entry...thanks for reading guys!)
"Today served as an effective 'send-off' for our trip to Haiti. We got to spend the day with all the other teams at a beach called 'Wahoo Bay'. It's amazing how a country where things are so broken and full of despair, that a beach with that much beauty exists for everyone. I thought the waterfall was awesome, but this beach knocked it out the park. Heck, I think Myrtle Beach combined with all the spots in Florida I've seen couldn't come close to this! Water as clear as glass, and it was so needed
One of the highlights, minus an awesome lunch, was going snorkeling for an hour a bay about ten minutes away. Here comes the kicker....only $5! How crazy is that?! In America snorkeling for even 10 minutes is more than that. But in Haiti, you can go snorkeling for an hour, get the mask, snorkel, and flippers (sad, no flippers for me as I have huge feet) for that five dollars! I loved getting the chance to swim around in such clear water and just enjoy the reef and be amazed at God's creation. The cool part was letting Matt Keely go. He wanted to so bad but had spent a lot of his money on trinkets and didn't have enough. But, I couldn't go and then let him not go, so I did what I felt was needed, I spotted him. I think it was worth it!"
