Sunday In Haiti

Well, we made it! We had a little delay in Miami as the plane had some technical problems that needed to be fixed before we could take off. Of course, they had to load us first before they told us this. A 8-12min job turned into a 2 hr. job, then we just got on the tarmac and the airport closed cause of a storm that was to our west that changed the wind direction to a tail wind which is not good for taking off. So we finally took off at 5:00 which was only 2 1/2 hrs late. That put us into Port au Prince at 6:30 pm.  Our poor driver was sitting and waiting patiently, but they are much better at that than Americans. We got to the house at 9:30 got unpacked, ate, showered and got to bed about 10:30-11:00 which made for a very long day having to be at the airport by 4:30 am.
 Got a very nice night of sleep, although I was informed that I was snoring. I don't think I kept anyone awake cause we were so tired but it may become a problem. I think they are kicking me out of the house to sleep in the bunk house. Which to tell you the truth, is cooler out there anyway. I knew it was going to be a problem coming here with six women, because I am way out numbered.
 We went to church at a new church that was built up in the mountains by  a great guy named Tengue. Tengue maintains the property at Christianville, a compound close to our house. Today was the dedication of the church and it was full of people. The pastor said he has never opened a church with a dedication when they had already out-grown the building. It was full of children, but most of those children have parents there in the community so it is for sure a mission field there. God bless them and please pray for blessings on them and Tengue.
