Arrived safe and sound by 3:30 on Wed. in Haiti. The drivers from Pine Grove church were wonderful and speedy to Detroit. Arrived there about 1:30 a.m. Tried to sleep on the airport floor. Very few did. Arrived in Miami about 10:30 a.m. 4 hours wait there. Nice surprise for me that the plane to Haiti was huge! Where do all those people go here???? Met one mission team from Alma. They packed in all 100 pounds of their food. Thankful we were not them. They drill wells and have for years.
Drivers were at the airport to meet us. The guest house is wonderful. Can't say I miss cooking for myself!!! The food is good and plentiful. People are very gracious. Va Bell and husband Jack come to visit lots plus their friend from Blanchard - a blueberry farmer (female)
We went to the Children's House for the first today (Thurs.) The boys are sooooo precious. They are off school this week so we played and played - soccer, basketball, coloring, legos, reading. A thrill for me to hear them read in their lang. We teach English and they teach us Fr. Creole. I remembered many of my color words from French class in high school - that's a stretch!
10 of us in one ladies room. Like camp. The guest house is full tonight. A team came in from Indiana and Fla. and will leave early tomorrow for a dental clinic building mission. 6 hours by car!
Everyone says they are having a good time. Seeing the boys today renewed our energy and purpose. Love to all.

Haiti Team-
Glad to know you got there safely!Playing with the boys is a good thing along with working--although I like the playing idea best! Hope the boys like their birthday bags. I'm sure the boys can all feel your love for them. Look forward to hearing more from you all! We pray for you all each day. See you soon!
Love, Taylor Hill
