We've Arrived!

After a long day of travel, we have arrived! We deboarded the plane in Miami only to reboard another one about an hour later. Luckily, Pastor Bollinger was at the Port-au-Prince airport to pick us up as scheduled. All of our bags arrived, all 20 of them, carrying the supplies that we've brought for the Village of Hope. Thank you to everyone who so generously donated these supplies! After a brief introduction to Hope House, where we'll be staying, we visited the headquarters for Food for the Poor to pick up several boxes of shoes to distribute at the school later this week. Riding in the back of a flat bed truck is fun! Paul Swicord now looks like James Dean with his wind-blown hair. We saved Susan from falling out of the back of the truck after the tenth pothole. Tomorrow is a national holiday (May Day) so school is out. It looks like we'll be sorting shoes to distribute next week. Hopefully we can keep Michelle from trying them all on first!
