Bondye ka fe tut bagay...God can do anything...and He did! Yesterday Roger, Kelsea, Liz, and I went fishing. We got out on the ocean right when the sun was rising over the mountains. The highlight of our trip was going to Lagonave, the island on the eastern side of Haiti that we can see on the balcony of the Mission. We found this amazing place where the water was an unreal blue color. How can God do that? After a little tour and picking up some bait, we headed back to the main island coast. After about 6 hours we were heading home and very disappointed that we hadn't caught any fish. We made it almost home and then (no I'm not going to tell you we caught tons of fish) we ran out of gas. Roger didn't think it was a problem and directed us to the shore. We followed him down a path to a road and he asked if we wanted to come because it was going to be a long walk. We all wanted an adventure so we didn't object. God totally provided because we started off and then a truck pulled up. We asked for a ride and was taken all the way to the road! Now we are on the side of Rt. 1 in Pierre Payen about 5 miles from our Mission.

Ok, now what? We ask around and find out there is no place to buy gas. We call some people and no one seems to know how to help us...now we are stranded? We tried one more person, Luis, a worker at the Mission and he agreed to bring us some gas. Yes we are saved! He pulled up a little while later and drove us back to the boat in the MoTap. Roger is excited now and we all hop back in the boat. Roger was ready to fish again! Still we catch no fish. We pull our boat in when we finished and found Gary, one of our other fisherman, returning from fishing. He caught 5 fish (2 sailfish, 1 mahi mahi, and 2 wahoo)! HE showed us up! Here we are all high tech with a motorboat and he went out in his wooden boat with jugs and line. Slightly embarrassed but God provided for our lack of fish.
We kindly walked Roger back to the fish house and thank him profusely for taking us out on the boat. It was so much fun! We got to end our day walking through the village to the road to catch a taptap. Or so we thought. We got on a taptap and then Dago, our driver for NVM, drives up in his car, honks at us and tells us to get in. God provided another ride for us!

God exceeded my expectations yesterday. We couldn't have asked for a better day or to be more well taken care of if we had planned it. It definitely goes down in the books as a day always to remember God's faithfulness and how much fun we had.
