We finally made it to Haiti and enjoyed our first day
here!! We have had an eventful 2 days
traveling First, our bags got checked
at the gate and sent all the way to Haiti, but we had to spend the night in the
hotel in Miami without them. So we all slept
in and wore the same clothes for 2 days.
Then Angela got a phone call in the airport from Abby and Cayley saying
they had somehow managed to get themselves stuck back on the other side of
security…without a passport. It was a
tense few minutes…but it all worked out.
Once arriving in Haiti, we spent
some time delayed in traffic and experienced 2 minor fender benders on the way
home. But apparently that’s just another
day in Haiti.
After resting and settling in to our guesthouse, we spent
the afternoon at The Home for Sick and Dying Babies. We fed babies, changed diapers, rocked and
held babies, played with toddlers, and showed love any and every way we could. At our team time tonight we each gave a word
to describe our day…Over-whelming, Hectic, Eye-Opening, Humbled, Relieved,
Grateful, Love, Inspiring, Different, Open, Insufficient, Complete.
Today was a day of new things for all of us, a day of
different experiences, a day of hard things and beautiful things. We learned that “Love is a fruit in season
all the time”. Jesus tells us in John
13:35 that we will be known by how well we love. Tomorrow we will be spreading more love and
water…Pray for a restful night and endurance as we carry water to the people of
Cite Soleil tomorrow.
Angela & Abby
