We made it! After a long day of travel, which started for some in our group at 1am this morning, we arrived. The day was made longer by mechanical issues on our plane from Miami to Port au Prince, but we survived. An adventurous, but quick trip in the "tap tap" (bus) brought us safely to the lovely and welcoming guest house of Healing Haiti. :grateful sigh:
As we discussed our feelings and thoughts from the day, we each shared a word that described how we felt this evening. Words like: happy, excited, overwhelmed, nervous, ready, and shocked were used. Each person feels something different, but we all are glad to be here and are ready to serve.
Tomorrow the plan is to deliver water in Cite Soleil, which is the poorest and most impoverished community in Port au Prince. We will accompany a water tanker truck and help fill up Haitian's water jugs which they take back to their homes in Cite Soleil. It's supposed to be a hot day tomorrow, so pray that we all stay well hydrated and take good care of ourselves in the heat.
Thank you for your prayers and love and support for our team. We truly couldn't be here and do well without your help. Please pray for our team to communicate well with each other as we work and share God's love. Pray for us to trust in God's grace and love for us as we pour ourselves out for others.
Until tomorrow!
