Monday, February 16th

Not a lot to report other than we had a smooth flight to Atlanta from Raleigh. Patiently waiting to board the flight to Port au Prince now.  Lots of thoughts running through my head. Anxious for this new adventure and opportunity and thankful for all of those who have helped me get here. We will be staying in a Haitian community living among the Haitians this time. I've been three previous times but this will be my first staying in the village. We will be near Archaie.

As we were sitting passing time for our next flight, we were talking about how corrupt the government is in Haiti and how they held donations after the earthquake in port and wouldn't give them to their own people. Some of those medical supplies could have saved lives but their govt decided to hold them and give them to the highest bidder.  Now, I'm not saying our govt is perfect, it is far from it but it could always be worse. I don't want a political debate but I also wish that people who gripe all the time about our govt realize it could be a lot worse. So....stop and be thankful for what you have today.  

Prayer requests:

Health-still not feeling well 

Safety-I'm not a bit worried about it but prayers can always help!

Our team-13 team members (I think) living in close quarters in the heat and emotionally charges environment is hard.
