First days in Haiti

We have arrived in Haiti and just spent our first full day here. WOW..talk about a lot to take in and process! It is truly a different world down here. We are doing well...but it is a lot. It's really hot and there are people around constantly...most of which we aren't able to really communicate with. But we had the opportunity to meet a lot of our neighbors and they are so kind and receptive. They are more than willing to help us with our Creole too! So we have learned many new words already. Also, the Thede's have been so wonderful to us...inviting us to eat with them and treating us like members of the family, which is such a blessing.
Here are some pictures of our like house--La kay Cheri. We love having our own little house, we're so thankful for that! And suprisingly, we love the cold showers!! (very refreshing!)

So we tried to upload some pictures....but for some reason they aren't loading. We will try to have them up tomorrow!!! SORRY!!!

Anyway, we are using the Thede's living room and internet so we should probably get going (everyone goes to bed by 9...it's too dark to stay up!) But we will try to have some pictures tomorrow. We are depending on God to carry us through each day. It's hard to depend on him so much, but we know he's faithful and he's HERE. more later!
love to you all!

  1. Hey kids, I love your note thanks for letting us know what is happening. I'm going to talk to tyler about projecting your blogg at the front of the church prior to the service. Every one is asking already about what is happening.
