WOW!!!! What a day. As it started at about 3 o'clock for everyone this morning, we are just now settling in for the night at the Methodist guest house in Port au Prince. To say that this day has been a bit crazy does not do it justice. We had a 5 hour delay in Miami and somewhere along the way between Miami and Haiti, our luggage decided to part ways with us. We all have our carry on's; however, all of our personal gear and tools/kid supplies are M.I.A. We will be searching vigorously for them tomorrow. What is important is that we are all safe and here in our destination.
Words CAN NOT describe this place! The sights, sounds and smells are truly unique and possibly tread on the cusp of disturbing. Although we drove through the city at night, I can not imagine what awaits our eyes once daylight approaches. We are eager and excited to worship with our brothers and sisters tomorrow morning and we are looking forward to spending this time in fellowship with them; with or with our clean underwear. UGH!!!
The roles have been reversed. We came here to provide comfort and relief to those in this area; yet, it is us receiving the charity today. I thank God for His presence with these people. This experience is truly a blessing to be shared!

It is such a relief to know you all are in Haiti and safe. Our prayers are constantly going out to you all and the people you will come in contact with. God is so good and He is doing amazing things in each and everyone of you. Look for Him in the eyes of the people you meet.
