Safe Arrival!

We made it to Port-au-Prince, Haiti on Saturday without any issues. Both of our flights were good and we had no issues with luggage, customs or immigration - those that have been here know what a HUGE blessing that is to travelers. Our pastor friend met us at the airport and brought us to a Mission House that was built by the Florida Baptist Convention. It operates as a hostel for missions groups coming into Haiti for work throughout the country. Once we arrived, they showed us to our room and we settled in for the next couple of days.

We are blessed to have 'air conditioning' in our room here, but we try to run it sparingly in order to conserve electricity. They have water tanks on the roof so we do have water for showers, but it is a little cooler than we are accustomed to having at home. Although it is not safe for brushing our teeth a cool shower on a hot day is very refreshing! We are the only guests here right now so it is very peaceful and quiet. It has given us time to gather our thoughts, process everything that we see and discuss how we think it might impact us in Camp Coq.

We are trying to learn from everything we experience even if we think that it will not relate to where we will be in Camp Coq. The Mission house has given us lots to think about - housing, security, food preparation, water, electricity options, employment of locals and more. 

Thank you for your continued support through prayer! Please continue to pray for us as we explore the resources available here, our travel and our interaction with the people of Haiti.
