Up at 3:30 am; at the airport by 4:30 am; in the air by 6:30 am; on the ground in Port-au-Prince before noon; pretty much as advertised. In Miami we were joined by a lady going to La Gonave to teach ESL (English as a Second Language). The Port-au-Prince arrivals area had been substantially renovated earlier this year. We made it through immigration, baggage claim and customs without any difficulties. Judain was waiting for us in the Canter. We made a stop at DeliMart so Nancy could get some groceries before heading to the island. For many of us it was the first experience in a supermarket in Port-au-Prince. The inventory was quite large, but I would not want to buy the fish or meat on display. We arrived at the Ortlip Ministry Center about 2:40 pm where we were greeted by Dan & Joy Irvine; it was great to see them again and to bask in the drenching sweat caused by 95 degree temperatures.
Tomorrow we head to La Gonave and have the opportunity to see first hand the progress on the hospital and new guest house (now know as the La Gonave Ministry Center). We've heard that good progress is being made, but there is still much to be done before the September 28 dedication ceremonies.
We are all looking forward to a couple weeks of productive investment in our ministry in Haiti.
