Day 1

The day began at 3:30am, so while it is only 8:45 in Haiti, we are heading to bed

We are staying tonight at the Global Orphan Project's transitional village outside Port au Prince. We arrived to the cheerful voices of children playing. What fun to meet them and love on them. Today there are about 70 orphans at the village. Just this morning 40 kids were moved to a more permanent home. It really is a transitional village. There is a hotel (dorm) on site and our accomodatioms are very nice for Haiti.

Stacey Evans and two others flew with us to Port au Prince to work on an agricultural project for GOP. Pray that they have a productive trip. We will separate from them tomorrow, but it was nice having familiar faces on the plane and in PAP airport!

The earthquake has altered the usually chaotic baggage claim at the airport, so now it is a bit more chaotic. After a few minor disputes about who would carry our bags, we finally made it to our vehicles and drove to this location. Before dinner, we had the chance to spend some time with Moise Vaval, GOP's new country director. He was the man featured in the 60 Minutes story. What a humble man of God! He is a huge addition to the GOP team in Haiti. All the orphans under GOP'S care will benefit from his leadership. Hopefully we will get a little more time with him in the morning. There will be time to meet the other staff here and love on some kiddos before we fly to Les Cayes at 4PM tomorrow.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be spent at our village in St Louis. We are excited to get there! Thank you so much for your prayers. We can feel God's hand on the trip already.

Typing on the iPhone with my fingers is a challenge so will stop for now. Praising God for the availability of technology even here.

Blessings
