August 11-18 Trip Taking over the Blog

Hello everyone! It is a sunny, warm and beautiful morning in Haiti. We arrived safely yesterday afternoon thankful for a travel day that went as scheduled. 15 of us left Minneapolis together and then we met up with 1 of our teammates in Miami and the final member of our team joined us in Haiti. We are finally all together!

The craziest moment of our day was when we stuffed 34 checked bags, 68 carry ons and 17 people in the truck we travel around in called the "Tap-Tap". Hopefully we'll be able to share a picture of what that looked like pretty soon.

We have a full day ahead of us.

In a couple minutes we leave to visit the home for sick and dying adults. Our main task is to communicate love to these people and since none of us speak the language we'll do that primarily by massaging their arms, hands and feet. Please be praying that we will be fully present this morning, relying on God's strength and love instead of our own.

In the afternoon we are going to an orphanage with a bunch of fun activities, games and care packages to give the kids.

We'll report back later tonight with what is going on.
