After a six week visit in the states and a travel day full of interesting experiences from delayed planes to airport slumber, we made it home to our little house in Haiti. When we left Minnesota, we had grown accustomed to the one shower a day routine of most Americans, then we remembered why we take so many showers in Haiti--it's much warmer here! We breathed in the humid air, looked at each other knowing that we would no longer be needing chap stick.
As we were driving through Port-au-Prince we noticed some changes like the Palace being taken down, new stretches of roads, and more tent cities being emptied out as people move to more permanent residences. We arrived at our house around mid-morning, so not many people were around. I jumped right into unpacking and Al started putting together much needed appliances we brought with us from the states such as a ceiling fan that is now swirling above my head.
We kept ourselves busy--unpacking, organizing, and reorganizing all the while trying to wrap our minds around what is next. We have two weeks of trips starting this Saturday that we are looking forward to, but--for those of you who know--there are a lot of last minute details that will be falling into place during the next couple of days. While you are reading this, please pray for those details to fall into place easily so we can relax and enjoy our last two days here with our family before heading out.
