When I posted my blog last week, I had forgotten to write about something that happened after I went snorkeling. It isn't that big of deal, but something I have never seen.
When we finished swimming, we had gone up to the shore to dry off and as we did, I heard the sound of a jet. I have never heard a jet here before as we don't have an airport which could handle one. The airport here has a gravel runway; too coarse and short for any jet. As I looked up I noticed a small white jet with some red lines on it. It may have been orange as it flew by so quickly that I couldn't get a good look. It appeared to be a coast guard jet. I imagine they were doing a routine fly by since some of the missionaries have seen it before. I have seen coast guard boats here, but never a jet and it was interesting to see it fly along the coast at a low altitude.
About Me

- I have created this blog to share the stories of my trip to Haiti as a missionary at Sonlight Ministries as I will be teaching Algebra, Geometry, Adv. Math as well as 6th grade math. Sonlight Ministries was started by Roger and Norma Alexander in 1985 after their second year in Haiti. Before moving to Haiti I have visited four times on one week trips to volunteer with anything that was needed. This mainly consisted of construction work as groups from my church, WRCC, have helped build a new multipurpose building for Sonlight which will be called SonCenter. Construction isn’t the only type of work. Some like to spend time in the classrooms interacting with the students as teachers aides or sitting in the hall with a student one-on-one to help with grammar, math, etc. Groups have also helped with numerous tasks such as painting inside houses, outside houses, and rooftops. If you enjoy helping others and would ever consider visiting please let me know; it is a life changing experience.
