How'd Ya Get Here?

We are in Grand Goave with an awesome team. The majority of our team consists of our brothers and sisters from Temple Baptist in White House, TN. (That's where Brynna is living, working, going to college, dating, playing on the church volleyball league, etc...) Today I was able to sit with 3 adorable children at the house build and talk Kreyole with them. It was awesome and exciting for me. And a huge learning experience. They were more on my level... I could totally mess up and they just would laugh WITH me and not at me. The oldest was probably 5. I have some pics and videos, but they are on my camera and I didn't carry my laptop here. I'll have to wait until we return on the 20th to even start editing. Trust me - it's only day one, but I know I have some framers... some great pics of some beautiful smiles! Anyway, just before we were ready to head home from the BUILD a new young man came over and started talking with me. He was obviously many years older than the 3 I had spent hours with. He was actually 15, but had the body frame of maybe a 10 year old. He started telling me he knew some English. So, we were communicating somewhere in between Kreyole and English. He asked me basically how'd you get here? I immediately jumped back in my mind to just a few hours prior... to breakfast and replied, "on a tap-tap." His eyes got really big and couldn't believe me. He was rejecting my answer. It was very confusing for him to accept the fact that I had arrived via tap-tap. We obviously we not communicating. Something wasn't right. Upon further discussion it dawned on me that he was was actually trying to find the English word for the form of transportation that I had arrived IN HAITI, not on the job site... an airplane.
