Safe and Sound

We made it safe and sound and are enjoying a relaxing evening.  We were impressed with the new terminal at the airport but were disappointed that "the truck" is out of commission (hopefully temporarily) and we had to split into 3 trucks for the ride to Hope House!  Tonight we enjoyed a delicious dinner of pumpkin stew, salad and bread.  The stew is traditionally eaten on the Haitian Independence Day.  Before the independence, pumpkins were only eaten by the elite and rich. 

Tomorrow we are attending a Haitian church followed by lunch out.  Dave is "preaching" at the service.  He has learned never to volunteer without knowing what he's volunteering for first!  We don't have much work planned for tomorrow but are ready to get at it on Monday! 

Pray for Jim, as he's struggling with a head cold.
