Hey Guys!
We're back! This trip was AMAZING!! We had the most awesome team ever! I was surprised how much our team bonded while we where the we're just one big family now! When we got to the orphanage it was crazy just trying to get everything set up... It was about to rain. After we got a little settled in we got to see how the orphanage was run kinda. I noticed there was a momma of the kids but she was always back in the back cooking or something back there, The kids just kinda take care of each other. Its cool to see the relationships between the kids. Also when we got there the kids just clung to us it was really cool to see, They loved us right away they had no idea who we were but it didn't matter to them.
DAY 1 JOURNALING
The First time I flew was not the best I got sick to my stomach. Thankfully I got to sit next to dad so that helped a little also Philippians 4:13 helped a lot. It got better after the 2nd flight, we had 45 mins in Dallas which was just enough time instead of 15 it was just enough time to get off the plane and get to and on the next so that was GOOD! When we got to Miami, we had like a 4 hour layover so that was pretty boring... Then we boarded the plane. When we got to Port-au-Prince it was CRAZY!!! There were people all over the place. It was CHAOS!! And that was just in the baggage claim place where we got out luggage. When we got out to the walk way to go to the car the were people called "Red Hats". The want to help you with your luggage they like try and grab it from you when you don't want the to help then expect to get paid in big money even when you told them NO! when we finally got threw that mess we all loaded up to go to the guest house where we were staying the night, The women in a closed van and the men and the luggage went in the back of a truck with a cage thing around it. And we LEFT the craziness! Then when we were on the road the first time we stoped and a little kid came up and was begging for food and money so we gave him a little snack and we were on are way. Then the next time we stopped more and more kids just kept coming up and begging we finally left and the kids tried hanging on to the back of the car but they finally stopped when we went fast enough they left. When we got to the guest house we ate dinner then hung out for a while then everybody pretty much went to bed.
