We arrived, safe and sound, in Haiti! All the other groups did as well and we got to meet our team for the week. We wasted no time jumping into ministry. The highlight of the day was definitely being at the orphanage. There were over one hundred children and it was our privilege to play with them and love them as best as we could for the time we were there.We will go to bed tonight with their faces on our minds and names on our hearts.

We are staying at Cote Plage, a school and church compound. Pastor Sampson is hosting us and we were very blessed by a traditional Haitian meal of chicken, rice and beans made by our wonderful cooks. After a long day of traveling and playing at the orphanage, it hit the spot. We had the first of our regular nightly meetings before heading off to bed.

Tomorrow morning, we'll be worshiping at a church in Gressier. Please be in prayer for members of our team giving testimonies!

Thank you for all the support and prayers. We are excited for all the moments God has in store for us in the upcoming week.

"Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near."-Hebrews 10:23-25
