Today has been another great day in Haiti. We started the morning with a tour of downtown, the palace and the poorest area, Cite Soleil in PAP. It was completely heart breaking. There are no words to describe the scenes or smells we experienced as we were driving. This area is where a lot of kids from the orphanage come from. We also stopped outside the palace to see the damage. It was unbelievable. I will say, that it was surreal to walk down the streets with armed security packin heat.
We spent the remainder of the day at the orphanage. We just jumped in and helped in different areas. It was very hot here today. Also, today they received a shipment that they have been waiting for since the earthquake. The guys were able to unload it.
For supper, we were went to a Haitian restaurant. We pulled up and a man was standing at the entrance with a machine gun, and there was another guard inside. We also had 3 security guys in our van.
Today was a great day. The team is doing great and holding up. We have been meeting in the evenings processing the day. Keep praying!
Praying for you guys and so thankful for your updates. Zach is so excited to be headed that way.
