We are here!!!!
We officially made it to Haiti and we are having a wonderful
time! All of our luggage arrived safeand sound without incident (after an hour and 20 minutes of baggage claim rodeo).

| Finally finding the Roberts who came to pick us up! |
Upon arriving at our house we were greeted warmly by 15 screaming friends, who even made a welcome banner for us.

Willow is
adjusting really well and loves all the kids.
It is so fun to watch her interact with everyone. I learn more about God and the joy He gives
every time I see her face light up in response to seeing another one of God’s
beautiful children. Needless to say, she
is making friends fast.
We spent the Tuesday in Thomazeau seeing Ashley. She is doing wonderful and remembered us
immediately. She can speak some English,
but the little Creole that started to come back to me allowed me to speak to
her as well. I pointed to Willow and
said “ Li se ou se” which means “She is your sister." Ashley looked at me with a huge grin and said
“wi” which means yes in Creole. She was
beautiful, happy and so content with us there. She fell asleep on my
chest. It was a wonderful gift. She was a little jealous when I tried to hold
Willow too. Typical first child syndrome and is to be expected. We plan to go back out
soon and spend some time with her.

| Willow is ready for her Haitian License too! |
On the way home yesterday, Matt drove for the first time in
Haiti. He did a wonderful job and fit
right in to Haitian life on the road.
Our friends and translators Kessy and Daniel informed Matt that he drove
so well, he no longer needed a driver, only a translator from now on.

This morning we met with the leadership of a school in a nearby tent camp to determine their needs. Please pray with us this week that God will meet the needs of the children unable to attend school by providing books, and teacher salaries. In the tent camp, 5 minutes from our house, more than half of the children present are unable to attend school due to a lack of resources.
