Here

We are here!!! We arrived Tuesday afternoon after a long but safe flight from Boston to Miami, then Miami to Haiti. We had no problems with our bags, and were greeted excitedly by Karl and Ann! Luke has been like a child in a candy store bouncing around here as if he never left. It has been fun to watch him pick up Creole (the Haitian language) and connect with friends.
We have only been here for a couple of days, but already having a blast! We went up to Baptist Mission Mountain yesterday for lunch with Karl and Ann. Then went to visit some other friends last night. Karl and Ann will be leaving next week for the summer, and we have a team of people from our home church in NH coming on Saturday to work with a Haitian pastor.
Next week Luke will start working at the church, and I am getting ready to start summer school with the Haitian children.
Things are going well so far! We thank all of you who continue to lift us up in your prayers and support! We cannot tell you how much we appreciate you all!

These pictures are from the place that we are staying. We are so blessed! The flowers are from the outer wall that encases the house and yard. On top of the wall is barbed wire to help protect the house from intruders that could jump the wall. There is also Mike (the dog). He is our guard dog. Also, the best part is that I have all the pets I could want! The lizards for example come from every where just to hang out and eat bugs. Hope you enjoy :)
