FINALLY IN HAITI

Unfortunately I do not have any pictures at this time. I just wanted to let everyone who faithfully looks at this page to know that I am fine. I am settled in at the guest house(like an inn) for the next couple of days. Its kind of a little vacation for me. Helps me to prepare for the weeks and months ahead. I developed a little hitch on my way down and had a few problems that thankfully were quickly resolved. God is so good. Even in the midst of us losing our minds, he stays right with us, strengthening and comforting us.
Today I arrived at the guest house at 10:00. I did pretty much nothing else during the day except that I spent some time with Elionel and with some other friends. It was really a blessing. I am definitely in need of some sleep so I should go hit the hay. The weird thing is that its only 8:30 here and I am ready to sleep for a week. I guess though it makes sense since I'll be up at 5 tomorrow AM anyhow.
Oh and I am already being eaten alive by mosquitos. Its very difficult for me to avoid that problem. One of my friends is going to look for a good mosquito net for me. Everyone is raving about how much Creole I speak. I feel like a raving lunatic because I am so tired. :)
So I'm sitting here on the porch and looking out over the street and this police car stops this kid and randomly searches him. I guess it was a drug check or something, but he came out clean. Things are very peaceful here now and no one is really afraid of anything. Its a blessing.
I will write more, maybe tomorrow or the next day and hopefully with pictures. I am going to sleep now. God bless
