Thank you everyone for your prayers, my flight to Phil actually arrived (almost) on time. It was over a hundred degrees in Haiti, I have discovered it is somewhat less here but I am so glad to be home. What I found in Haiti was destruction and poverty on a scale hard to imagine unless you've seen it. The people there still clung to their faith, singing, and finding hope in our presence. They thanked us constantly, and through the translators they said that they knew because we were there to help, they could hope that things could get better. We held them, gave fluid to the desperately dehydrated, pain medicine to those with injuries too horrible to describe, and in the end our clothes, sleeping bags and left over food. Always they said thank you. The children played and laughed and tried to learn English. I gave out our health kits! (wished I had a hundred more) Thank you again for your prayers. It was an amazing opportunity to serve God by serving these people.
Please continue to pray for the people of Haiti, there is so much more to be done.
