Wonderful Welcome

It is so great to be back in Haiti!  It has been 9 months since I have been down with a team, and after reuniting with many friends today, my heart is full.  We had an early morning as we left Northwestern at 3:00am this morning.  Everything went without a hitch today.  It was a great first day!

We are all settled into the guest house, and were able to have a wonderful meal (as always) from the wonderful Haitian staff.  After taking a tour of the houses, we wandered over to the lot next door to play a little soccer.  I was able to play for a bit, but must admit I think I pulled a muscle!  Too funny.  It was a great time, and I was able to catch up with Dickenson and Davidson as well.  They are growing into young men!  It was wonderful to hear how school is going, how their family is doing, what upcoming tests they are studying for, and what their favorite subject is right now.

Our team is amazing!  I am looking forward to seeing what the Lord does in and through this team.  As I sit here and type the rain is coming down hard outside and I am getting ready to turn in for the night.  It's only 8:30pm, but feels like 11:00 or later to me.  I will leave you with a few pictures from today:

Goal!  We scored!
