We arrived safely in Haiti. We were met at the airport by David Heady. We were able to see Chris and Sheryl for a few minutes before they left. Then we took a trip to see some of the effects of the earthquake. So many buildings down. So many tents and every type of material that people are living in (plastic, cardboard and other things put up for walls. People selling things on top of the rubble.
We saw what the earthquake did to the roads. We saw the site of a mass grave. Then to the compound to see the many new things that were not here the last time that we were here. A big yellow and white tent operated by Friendship. The conference center has a large group of Samaratian purse. The mountains are brown following afire. The grass is dry as the rains have not come.
We ate beans and rice and peanut butter. We reconected with the people that we knew from last time and met some new people. We are living in a apartment on the top of the visitors quarters.
Then it was time for a nap. Glen was awakened so that he could learn to fill the propane tanks. Then we had supper with a team that were here. Fried Chicken. G
reat.
Then we walked to the Bruns to have our questions answered and we have alot of those today.
Then back to bed.
Today I worked in the burn clinic and sorted the supplies that we brought. Glen cleaned the generator room and now is working on a clutch that he has never seen beore.
It is overcast and cool here today.
I am going down to meet the people from
North Carolina Baptist who I will be helping at their clinic on Saturday.
Pray that we will get over being tired.
