Well we made it to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. As you can imagine there were a lot of humanitarian teams on our flight having to go the same route we are going.
We met Martine and Jean Luc of Diakonos International who have an orphanage in the town of Carrefour, just west of Port-Au-Prince. The orphanage is home to some forty children. Tomorrow morning we plan on taking a bus from Santo Domingo to Port-Au-Prince. Hopefully we can leave around 8am as it may be an 8 hour trip.
Out of the nine bags we brought only one is missing. Unfortunately it’s the one with Barbi and Lisa’s tent. Because of aftershocks it is not safe to sleep inside so the tent issue will be something to contend with tomorrow.
Probably the strangest thing today was we had to wait an hour while our plane was de-iced…in Florida.

Probably the last normal thing you will see for a while.. I imagine it will be devastating pictures from here on out!
Praise God for your safe Arriveal into Haiti, Pray all goes according to plan. I know that those innocent children will be Blessed by all of you!
