We made it!

Hi everyone! We made it to Mamika around 12:30 pm Haitian time today! The flights went well...we had no problem with the connecting flight at all. The people here are wonderful, and the place that we are staying is very safe and beautiful. There are tons of flowers everywhere, and plenty of hammock trees. When we first arrived, we were welcomed with lots of different fruits and snacks, and then were fed spaghetti for lunch. We are definitely blessed here. After that, we checked out the site for the orphanage that we will be building this week. Unfortunately, the papers to approve building the house as planned have not come through yet, so be praying about that. The Lord is the provider, so no worries. It was an interesting, wet, and bumpy ride in our school bus. The mess and poverty is tough, but the Lord is here. No doubt. After that, we went to a 'super market' and came back to Mamika and are just getting some down time before dinner. It's a hard life haha. Tomorrow, we will go to Nicolas' church and get a tour to really be able to grasp the destruction of the earth quake. Ask that God would soften our hearts with compassion for the people, but that we wouldn't be overwhelmed by the destruction to the point of no action. We will(hopefully), throughout the week, get a few opportunities to go to an orphanage called the Upper Room. It is a single house that holds 26 kids...average age is 5 or 6. Let's just say that we (I think especially the girls) can't wait to love on some Hatian babies. Be praying that the Lord would allow us great weather so that we can get as much work done as possible. Also be praying for the team. Ask that our desire would be to individually seek Jesus, and then truly care for and serve one another. Thank you so much for your prayers, and continue to check up on what's going on with us here. The internet won't allow me to upload pictures right now but I'll try again soon.
