Today was our travel day. We left Kansas City and connected through Atlanta on our way to Port Au Prince. We enjoyed a great fellowship while together during a long travel day.
We were met at the airport by Johnny, who will drive us for most of the week. It was a warm greeting with a personable and genuine smile. He shared stories about the political climate in Haiti and upcoming elections. As we drove through town on our way to Petion-Ville we enjoyed seeing a lot of nighttime activity, however, far less than had we arrived during the day.
After arriving at the Methodist Guest House (known as EMH) in Petion-Ville we enjoyed a wonderful dinner of baked vegetables, chicken, and beans & rice. Following dinner our host, Brulan shared very helpful information and insight for our week.
John led us in a devotional, which included the opportunity to share our own spiritual calling to join the Haiti Mission at this time. Every story and personal motivation is unique and inspiring.
Tomorrow we leave bright and early for Petit-Goave. We are excited for the days ahead, we feel blessed to be together as a team, and to share our time and our faith with the community.
