This Trip Requires More Than One Post!



I will have to write several posts to really explain how the trip to Haiti was. We left Saturday, June 25th and came back this past Saturday night. I still feel tired, but it's hard to tell if that is just my age!

I guess this post will just be the details of what we did and in future ones I will try to explain what God did in my heart this week.

So, we're on the first flight out of OKC and I'm looking out the window before we take off and I see my bag coming of the plane and going onto a cart and driving away. My first thought was, well this trip is going to be about my "stuff". More on that on another post! (The pictures if Laurel and I after we got to Haiti and realized that she had no bag either - there were also two others without bags).

The compoud we stayed at happened to be across the street from the Pakistani UN compound so I got to hear the call to prayer every day. Go figure!

On Sunday we went to church and then to the beach. (See pictures from the beach). Monday through Friday were work days and then Friday afternoon we took a tour of downtown Port-au-Prince which took the biggest hit from the earthquake. I will write several posts to describe more about these experiences.

My overall experience in Haiti was so fabulous. The people are wonderful and it was a joy to meet other believers and humbling to work alongside them. I learned alot about joy and gratitude from them!
