It took 24 hours, but we made it to Haiti. The commute from DR into Haiti was 9 hours and there were literally thousands of people lined up at the US Embassy trying to get a Visa into the US. The traffic in Port au Prince is like none other.
We met up with the rest of our team once we arrived and there are now 11 on our team. Part of our team has already deployed to Leogane today to work in a clinic there.
Myself and one of the docs will fly in a small plane to Jacmel tomorrow with Misson Aviation Fellowship to work in a clinic there for the day.
The remainder of our team will stay here in Port au Prince tomorrow to work in the clinic at the stadium.
Saturday... who knows.
I have not slept in 36 hours, but I have had a shower, and my new Haitian freinds are fixing beans and rice and chicken for supper.... homade Haitian rice and beans.
All is well and I look forward to clinic tomorrow.
Thank you Lord for today and for this opportunity.
I am so grateful.
Sounds like your living a dream. We love and miss ya Deb.

So proud of you Debbi. You inspire me so much. This is just one of the reasons you are on my list. (Remember the sermon Jon gave :))
