After all the months of planning and preparation we finally arrived. Since this is the first time to Haiti for most of our team, we made sure to follow our team leaders closely at the airport. They were able to guide us through the chaos of baggage retrieval and finding the "top-top", our transportation for the week! As we drove to the guesthouse in the dark we were in shock by the sights, sounds and smells of the city.
We were greeted by the staff at the guesthouse with a delicious dinner of taco salad. After dinner we gathered to discuss our week and thoughts, which included our word of the day. Many of our words included guilt, excitement, overwhelmed, surprise, blessed, little and uncomfortable. We all were confronted with a great sense of purpose and a need to serve this week. After a long day of travel we retired for the night to recharge for the events of the our next day. It is impossible to ignore the energy that emits from the city and we look forward to being the hands and feet of Jesus.
