Wheels Down - Haiti 2019

The Haiti Servant Team has landed and all went well. One suitcase arrived late, which made everyone a little anxious, but it's the first time in 11 years that has happened. We made it to Hope House from the airport in record time! The temperature here was 91 degrees which is a temperature change of 118 degrees from where Richard came from (Minnesota)!  It's been an interesting start so far with five team members under the age of 18. It's adding an entertainment value we haven't experienced in 11 years! Tim, for sure, is a comedian. We spent the afternoon unpacking our 28 suitcases totaling about 1400 lbs in record time and repacked them according to where they need to end up. We then enjoyed getting to know one another, telling stories, relaxing, drinking Prestige (Haitian beer), and snacking. The night ended with devotions, thanks to Greer. Our song selections were done by Alli and Tim which makes it more contemporary rather than the 17th-century classic hymns that are normally part of our repertoire. Trish and Rob are very thankful. :)

Tomorrow we will go to church, out to lunch, the grocery store, and then prepare for Monday's VBS.
