Well, we made it safe to Haiti! It was an extremely long
day! We had to wake up at 4:30 a.m. to check into our flight and from then on
we were in “go mode!” As soon as we got off the plane the Haitian sun and heat
instantly thawed us out! It is REALLY hot! We were greeted by a Haitian band
and successfully made it through customs without losing too many items.
Once we made it through the airport we loaded up on the back
of a truck and rode through town. There really is nothing like seeing the faces
of people who have never experienced the hustle and bustle and
oftentimes-chaotic downtown Cap Haitian.
Nothing can really prepare you for the sensory overload. I ‘m sure it’s a moment that will be
forever etched in the hearts of everyone on this trip.
We rolled into the EBAC Orphanage and were warmly greeted by
all of the kids. Once we got
situated in our rooms we spent the rest of the afternoon and evening getting to
know everyone, playing games and taking some much needed power naps. We ended the night with some small
group time on the roof of the orphanage under the stars! We will do our best to
keep you all updated on our adventure. Keep the prayers coming… they are
appreciated.
