It's Hotter than Haiti's

So we have arrived safe and sound, but it was quite a ride! Got to the airport in PaP fighting all the travelers to find bags of luggage and then down the curbs and bumpy streets to the waiting pickup truck, yes I said pickup truck for 20 sum odd bags of luggage and five people sitting on top of the luggage and three people helping to drive. As we drove through rush hour traffic we were trying to catch the glances of all the people along the streets. Most smiled, said hello and the kids smiled, waved and ran after the pickup. How unbelievable it was looking at the devastating conditions people are living in yet so hopeful to be able to smile, wave and say hello to perfect strangers! As we got close to riding by the orphanage Patty called out to the kids and they were hooting and hollering as they realized who it was. Because it was dark we were not able to see the girls tonight but sent treats to tuck them in with and are looking forward to seeing them in the morning. Had a wonderful dinner with Marie and some great conversation and a little girl talk to boot. We asked her what we can do for her this week and she said, “just make me laugh”. That should be easy enough. Thanks to all of you that are praying and supporting this work as we still have miles to go! God Bless all of you.
