Day two.

Bon Ju'
Are we really in Haiti? We're staying with a family in the "guest house". I woke up to the smell of pancakes, bacon, and coffee! What a nice surprise. Last night we saw our living quarters and they are really nice. Nikki and Brandon are a married couple with three young children. Talk about being incarnational in their faith! They are from the states, and they have been here before, during, and after the quake hit. They actual have a house in Port Au Prince, but stay in the guest house because it is more comfortable for the younger ones. Brandon is a young, passionate pastor that has been going into the tent cities and preaching the gospel. He speak pretty fluent Creole. When he is down in the tent cities and leading a service he says that he can have anywhere from a few hundred to a FEW THOUSAND! people attend. That must be something to see! The view from their house is breathtaking, and the frogs at night sing this amazing little dripping sounding song that I could listen to for hours. In fact, I just sat on the balcony listening, reading, and watching a thunderstorm over the mountains. Again, very unexpected, but amazing nontheless.

Today we are working at the orphange. We have gotten the tour, met about a dozen other missionaries, and we painted one of the nuseries and a railing. The kids here are precious. No wonder there is a waiting list to adopt! Mission trips are all about flexibility. (Our driver got sick today, so we'll be destributing goods in the tent cities, most likely tomorrow.) Our lunch was great. A beans and rice mixture, with cubed pork and some cooked plantains. (I know Nikki will be jealous! ;)) Thank you for your prayers, and keep them coming. Phone service isn't that great out here if we have any, so keep checking the blog for updates. The only time I'll be able to write will be between 12 and 1ish and between 5-7. I sure don't want you to miss one! I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow. Nap we` pita! (see you later)
