Our First Full Day in Haiti

After a long day of packing, we all boarded the red eye flight to Miami. I generally can't sleep on a plane, so I guess I can't complain about being seated next to the only baby on the plane. Once we arrived in Haiti, we transferred over to a different plane. All of our luggage was carry on, so I was really glad that the x-ray machine operator cut me a break on having a machete in my luggage.

Some of the previous posts already talk about all that we did today, so I thought I might share some pictures. In the morning, we started off in the local market. They had all kinds of food, clothing, fuel, raw meat, etc.

As always seems to be the case, the kids love having their picture taken. Nicole & Emily made a lot of friends with their cameras today...

Good news. Nicole found Jesus...

We moved a few hundred cement blocks into position.

And yes, the rumors are true. Emily shoveled out the truck while we watched.

By the end of the day, the well house walls were about half way done (a little higher than shown here).


For everyone who went on the EastLake Honduras mission two years ago, you will be happy to know that Bones is alive and well. Somehow, he made it over to Haiti...
