We Made It!

Thank you to for all of your prayers! God gave us a great trip and we are here safely in LaDigue. Although we were delayed yesterday, that ending up working out well. We were very happy with how well American Airlines worked with us to rebook flights. God provided us with a super friendly (and fast-typing) agent who got us all rebooked in time for the earlier of two flights to Miami. Also, this delay gave us a chance to get to know one another a litttle better and to prepare some more before arriving today.

We got into Port au Prince around 9:30 this morning. Troy and Peter drove us straight to Barbencourt rather than going to the mission. It's definitely an eye-opener to see the poverty and the horrible living conditions (familiar to those of you who have gone before, but a bit hard to take in for those of us who are first-timers). We'll attempt to post on Barbencourt with some pcitures now. Hopefullly, it works--the internet connection is pretty flaky right now. (Troy will be working with someone in the next week or two to get the satelllite internet link configured better.) Again, thank you for your prayers. They were definitely answered!!
