Well, we arrived safely yesterday afternoon. Marc, Lisa, children and 15 team members and us, met up in Miami and flew out together. The team is here largely for the purpose of working on the security wall around the property which will enclose the childrens' village, a school, church, a rec centre, etc The property is approximately 7 acres. The team comes from Surrey, BC, Saskatoon, SK, and Red Deer, Medicine Hat, Strathmore, (Alberta). Although we did arrive safely, once we got here and unloaded the vans, Marc realized that 3 of their 4 bags did not get here! So he booted it back to Port au Prince to hopefully get them. Thankfully, they were still sitting there on the cart. How amazing is that!
As this is Marc & Lisa's first full day here after four months, there is lots of organizing to do. Wade and Marc are out with the team at the wall.
I have just set up an office area in a medical supply room and am going to start on a few admin. projects that Lisa has given. She didn't waist any time putting me to work!
Oh yeah, we got the big room! It is a huge room with lots of windows, a piece of balcony and of course air conditioning! It feels like a suite.
We are thinking of every one at home, but as you all know, we are loving being here, too.
Glad you made it thru Chicago airport. That was the first big hurdle. I thought of, and prayed for you folks each day this week. Don't get too comfortable in the "suite"; remember you are down there to work!
