Not Pictured: Katie from Minnesota
The team left Huntingdon, Tennessee at 1:30 AM and made the
two-hour drive to Nashville for our flight to Haiti. Even on little to no
sleep, no one’s word of the day is tired. Everyone is ready for a week of
serving, loving Haiti, and seeing what God has planned. Today’s words are:
Sponge. Refreshed. Fulfilled. Ready. Anticipation. Familiar.
Family. Safe.
Our team of eight arrived in Haiti this afternoon to sunny
skies and friendly faces. We road in the tap tap to the Healing Haiti guest
house and were greeted by the resident dogs and amazing staff. Today was all
about getting settled in and preparing for the week. There are two other teams
here – one from a college in Sioux Falls and the other from Minnesota. Everyone
is eager for tomorrow and ready to serve as God’s hands and feet.
We had an all-group meeting where we went over house rules
and an overview of the week. Then we enjoyed delicious tacos made by the ladies
at the guest house. We learned that XXX hot sauce really is HOT. Everyone
enjoys feeding leftover food to the dogs and the ice-cold soda. It always
tastes better in Haiti!
We closed out the night with team time. We read a devotional
about not trying to understand everything but turning to God for his guidance.
As we go into a week of unknowns, it was a nice reminder to let go and let God.
Now Pastor Jacob is playing the guitar, while we sing along…and the team is
one-by-one heading to bed. Tomorrow we’ll visit Peace Cycle, Papillion, and
Teach Haiti.
Bonswa and God Bless!
