Day 2...  Water truck day!  We loaded up into our Tap Tap (an open type truck in which we travel to and from) to start our day.  We headed to an area where the water trucks are filled and waited for our truck.  Off to Cite Soleil to deliver fresh water to various areas in need.  Crazy to think that filling one  water truck costs only $12 to fill.  I think we've all spent $12 on crazy dumb things and to think you could fill an entire water truck and deliver it to those truly need it.  This is true organized chaos...  The water truck and tap tap pull into an area, kids running with empty buckets yelling hey you....  Lots of hard work today done by all...  From holding the hose to fill the buckets, managing the bucket line, moving the filled buckets to the side, carrying buckets and sometimes large trash cans filled with water and of course holding kids sometimes multiple kids at a time.  Playing, hugging, holding and of course LOVING God's children.  One of the coolest experiences seen as well was standing in the school and church - Hope Church that was built in Cite Soleil on mounds of garbage.  The same garbage that some of us second timers had stood on & prayed a few years back.

Word of the Day 1:
Angie: Friendly
Ben: Grateful
Matt: Atmosphere
Amy T: Timing
Leah: Unbelievable
Troy: Timing
Logan: Different

We are in Atlanta!

When you wake up at 2:30am it's amazing how much you can accomplish by 9am!!  All 30 of us are safe and well and boarding the plane to Port-Au-Prince in just a bit.

 Please be praying for us and these requests:

1. That God will work through us
2. That our hearts are open to be used by God
3. That we all get our luggage (especially so that Amy Treptau does not have to wear Mitch's clothes that he has offered to her in case her luggage doesn't show up!)
4. Being present with each other as a team and those we encounter.
5. Strength and health for the team!
