God does not call the equiped, He equips the called!


We are here!  3:30am Thursday morning came quick for most of us!  Many were up till 12 or later packing after having worked all day the day before.  But some how the excitement of this trip made that hour easier! 

We arrived at the airport, checked in and rode a puddle jumper (my words) to Maimi.  We made the connection in Maimi and landed in Haiti around noon.  The airport has changed and ran very smoothly and we had our inside connection that had already rounded up the bags.  Kyle and Tompy (a friend from last year) met us outside and loaded us up in the vans.

Our first stop was La Patist.  This is the deaf camp run by the Red Cross in Port-a-Prince.  The Red Cross is pulling our and everyone has till Jan 1 to find other housing.  This is the reason for the new land in Leveque.  

As soon as we pulled up the kids saw the bus and knew that this means grownup to play with!  We had a wonderful introduction to the deaf leaders and heard their stories and then played soccer with the kids.

OR

So we tried!  We are going to get smoked in the Soccer game on Tuesday.



Hopefully pictures tell the story!!
