There is so much to say and I've only been here since 3pm today. The day started bright and early at 3am... I got to the airport at 4:15am and was immediately greeted by my team. After saying goodbye to my family, it was off to Miami! I felt very calm and excited, specially since I was with such an amazing group of people. Once getting into Miami, we met up with our last team member, ate some lunch and boarded the plane to Haiti. Getting into Port Au Prince was more then I even imagined. I expected to see just dirt and brown grounds, but to my surprise there were many trees and green lands. The mountains were breathtaking!
The airport in PAP was extremely overwhelming. There were people everywhere trying to help you with you bags. Once we got through the mess, we met up with our mission director Jean and our friends Junior, Kristina and FanFan. We took the newly designed Top Top bus back to the house. In amazement our place was beautiful and so welcoming. Instantly I felt comfortable on this strange place and I knew it was only by the Grace of God. I could feel his presence in tanks place and most definitely in these wonderful people. Jean and the team made us dinner and we were off to the tent city. We were instantly surrounded by Many children that just wanted to be held. I picked up this little boy and he was instantly attached to me. He was so amazed by our flashlights. I felt so happy to be here with these kids.
It's amazing where the Lord takes you when he has a plan for you. I never thought in a million years I would have the opportunity to serve him in this way. I'm excited for this week and more excited to spend time with the children of Haiti. I have a good feeling about this week! ;)
