Haiti Mission Trip

We are here safe
Wow. Words cannot describe our trip up. Not for the faint of heart or of stomache. Very bumpy, but our drivers Johnny and Watson got us here safe. We are all accounted for as is all of our luggage! Praise God! The country of Haiti was welcoming, customs went well, and if I spoke a lick of Creole or maybe even French, I might be able to tell you more about our conversations, but...I can't. However, we made it to God's Littlest Angels and were welcomed with open arms, a little dog, a medium sized dog, and a Great Dane! No joke. Did I mention there were pigs in the middle of the roads and goats, and people, and tents. Very overwhelming to realize how blessed we are in America. The people here are getting by on very little, and are still as social as ever. I think I learned a few new tricks about driving stick, and how to steer a motorcycle up a mountain. Unreal! Did I mention that many roads are not paved. WOW! Dinner was great and we're heading up to the guest house for the night. Sounds like our plan of action may be unloading three 40 foot containers from Colorado, putting together bags of necessities, and delivering them to a tent city of about 55,000. Pray for us, those who are taking care of us, and especially for all the people that are in need in this country. We love you all!
