Communication with the Outside World

After 3 days without the internet it has finally been repaired and I can send you greetings. Not sure what the problem was, but it has been repaired. We had quite an adventure coming down. Miami was not the best with airport service. We boarded and disembarked our plane 2 times before we were finally given another plane. That held us up in Miami for 6 hours. Giving us a $10 voucher for food just did not mend our attitudes towards the delay. On a positive note, we got to know our other team members in a much more informal way. We arrived in Haiti at about 9:30 pm but never left the airport until about 11:00 because 20 bags had not arrived with our plane. Thankfully, I had everything. Thank you Jesus. We were all alittle scared about traveling so late at night, but we made it safely to the guest house in one piece.
The weather has been very warm as expected. Most of the time we are wringing wet with sweat, but just deal with it with a smile. We all are in the same boat so we just stink together. I usually take a shower at night so it helps me sleep a little better.
Our first day in Haiti was spent doing a food distribution at one of our schools. I was disappointed that my sponsorship gal was not there so I could deliver my gifts. Her aunt was and promised to bring her to the school later in the week. The afternoon was spent sorting thru our suitcases to deliver the items later in the week to the school in Les Bours.
Today we enjoyed an American church service. Everything was in English and the songs were very contemporary. What a surprise. It was great to fellowship with other Americans in Haiti as well as the nationals. We left church and installed a water filtration system for our bus driver in his home. They were so grateful to have clean water. Several were installed at the school the day before. These were all courtesy of International Aide in Spring Lake.
This afternoon we visited the Sisters of Charity orphanage that was started by Mother Teresa. I held and fed several babies. So hard to leave them as they long for loving.
All for now as I have a team meeting to attend. Keep praying for safety.
