Dear family and friends,
Our first day has been awesome! But first, let us tell you a little about Saturday. Our prayers and thoughts are with our teammate Hannah who got appendicitis the day we left and could not join us. She is an awesome child of God and we know her heart is with us here. We pray for her recovery and perseverence and joy through this trial.
The rest of the team arrived in Port-Au-Prince at around 2pm. We got our bags and were transported out to Chambrun in a "tap-tap" (Haitian bus). We received an in-brief and orientation from Brandon (the mission coordinator) about NVM. The accommodations are great and everyone is quite comfortable.
Today, we attended a church service with about 300 Haitians on site. It was awesome to see their joy and faith! They certainly love to sing and love the Lord even more! Afterwards, we spent the rest of the afternoon playing with the kids and young adults from the nearby villages. Everyone played their hearts out and we started making many friends.
This day has been very moving, joyful, and fun. Praise God for this opportunity to be here!
