Hey everyone! First off I want to say thank you for praying for us. It has helped out a lot I'm sure, because everything is going really well! Yesterday we got up and had breakfast then hit the road for a really long bumpy ride! It was nice to go through the towns where people live and see how they live each day. It was a very eye opening experience, and showed me just how good we have it. When we got to our campus(which is beautiful) we all unpacked and had a very tasty meal. Today we woke up and had breakfast, then got to take a tour of the campus we are staying at. We got to check out the workshop, school, and beautiful church! After that we met some new friends and got to play around with all the kids! Then we went to a town about 30 minutes away and showed the people of that town that have cholera, how to use the filter systems we gave them! So that was very exciting to help people out that way and we could see their excitement and appreciation for that. Over all, the first few days have been great, and God has really opened my eyes to see how much we have. One thing I've notice is how little they have, but they seem to be the happiest people I've met! That has been a big challenge for me this early in the week! Thank you all for praying and I hope you continue to pray as we finish out the week!

As Brandon has said, we have had good days here in Haiti. There have been the expected unexpected things, but the team has handled them all very well. All of us are healthy and the weather is quite nice. Tomorrow we will worship both in the morning and evening, do another seminar on filters, and prepare for VBS on Monday and Tuesday. It will be interesting to see how many kids come. Pray for us as we prepare and that the kids will learn more about Jesus.
With the limited internet access here, pictures will be a luxury. Sorry.
