We have arrived safely after our minor stay in Detroit for 6 1/2 hours. We arrived in Ft Lauderdale in time to check into the hotel take a 45 min cat nap for a few people and then we were up and Adam to catch our next flight. We were all quite jealous of Zac who spent the afternoon relaxing at the LaQuinta. We did find out at 3:30 am that Zac was at the wrong Laquinta when George was looking for his room and woke up a "Mexican Man." Josephine was second in the lack of sleep race with 4 hours of sleep. The flight to Port Au Prince was delightful. Then I should mention that Zac was placed in 1st class. It must of been because he received a full night's sleep.
We were blessed with the fastest check in on record. We did not walk onto the tarmack but instead we were sent into a building and sent down an escalator. Then we were sent on a trolly bus over to immigrations and flew right through. Of course we were met with "Big", Jack, Marsha and many familar faces. Not one package was checked in customs and all the bags were over weight but we were assisted by the best ticket lady. Our only delay today was for Linda bag of underware, not really but the inspector really inspected her bag and was very interested in her hat with a built in battery. He sent our homemade cookies through the scanner way to many times. He did give her underware back with the hat.
After a lunch of flat bread and peanut butter we set up for Vacation Bible School. It was FANTASTIC. It went so perfect. Did I say I love this team. There was wonderful singing with Joan. Crafts with Nancy, Gale, Josephine, Lisa, Sally. Yoga with Linda. Soccer with Zac. Prayer with Cynthia. You should of seen all of the Haitian smiles. We were very Thankful for all of the help by Alex, the nannies, and parents.
George was full of smiles meeting up with his old friends. Johane and Johanna are staying with us for the next few days. Thank you goes to Dow High Post Secondary class, "Mrs Hendrick's class" for the wonderful card and donation that they gave to their family. They also received several other donations that with help them with food and a tent so they dont have to sleep under a tarp.
Bon Fet to Joan! Oh to be 40 again! We ended our evening with a team meeting discussing the days events and our plans for this weeks clinic. We are off to Port Au Prince Fellowship service in the morning to "Get our bounce on."
