Travel day We have arrived Peterson/Scott team

Early morning rise and shine. The Minneapolis/IA contingent of this team gathered at the airport all set on a new adventure.  Jesus calling “Let My love stream through you, washing away fear and distrust. A trusting response includes Me in your thoughts as you consider strategies to deal with a situation” Today brought challenges, delayed departures, lost luggage, but it brought many silver linings, a  team that grew closer and made deeper relationships amongst each other and new friends. What a joy it was to see everyone finally arrive in Port Au Prince. Still laughing and talking to each other. One more hurdle, several bags tried to stay in Miami. They have been found and will be delivered tomorrow. So by then we won’t remember what is in those bags, another gift provided to us. So today I feel God is trying to teach me to never give up hope. Make the most of each situation, smile and make a new friend, spend the time taking  a deep breath. Eventually we are ready to go, the Taptap has arrived, Max is here and ready to give a bear hug to everyone, the guest house is carrying familiar smells of welcome home.  I love being here….tomorrow water truck day…..a day where the dirtier you are the better.
