We wanted to add that when we first got off the plane, we were wondering what we'd gotten ourselves into. But after we got in the shower and had a good night sleep, we felt refreshed and comforted and knew that this is where we are supposed to be.
We've been taking lots of pictures and meeting wonderful people. The Haitians are very friendly and glad that we are here. We feel safe and are having a great time so far. Tomorrow we start working on the house in one of the towns.
We thank everyone for their prayers and support. We love you!

The First Full Day
(Posted by Katie Goldsmith)
So I'm in Haiti! This has been my first full day here and already God has taught me so much. Really my only problem for me here has been the food. But there are snacks available for us.
We played with the kids at the orphanage today and they are so cute. Sarah and I have made many friends and keep going over there names so we won't forget haha. We start working tomorrow and we are planning a VBS.
I'm so excited; can't wait to share everything with my church family and friends. I love all of you! :)

We Are In Haiti!!
(Posted by Stephanie Newman)
Hi everyone! We are in Haiti!!
The flight here was uneventful, praise God. Got through customs with no problems. The drive thru Port Au Prince was incredible. The team got to the mission on a cattle truck. It. Was interesting!!
We had little sleep on the flights and were exhausted when we got here. Basically ate dinner and crashed. We all slept like babies... Thank god for earplugs and fans. We are very safe here. It's completely fenced in and guarded with armed guards.
Today was church and it was an amazing service. The Haitians worship so freely; there is no order, no clock, they just come and praise God. We were all blessed by the service. After church we ate at a restaurant. It was neat. Then we toured the whole campus. We've spent time with the orphans, also.
Tomorrow we will start our projects and be working hard. It's hot here, so pray that we stay hydrated and healthy. Everyone is doing awesome. God has provided for our every need and we trust that he will continue.
Keep praying. Love to you all.
