Haiti bound!!

We are in Haiti! We got to the airport at 4:20a for a 6:10a flight, and it hasn't been bad at all. Even at the Haiti airport. You can still see the earthquake damage to the international terminal, with large cracks on the outside walls and shattered windows.

Haiti is the most impoverished country, and you can really see it. People are lining the streets to either sell something (for a high price), beg for food, or waiting for a Tap-Tap (Haiti's version of a Jeepney). Barry, the man that picked us up from the airport, shared that their Central market just recently re-opened after the earthquake, so there's not as many venders out on the street.

But, not everyone is too impoverished. We're staying at The Village, a gated community, that have doctors, politicians, and other ministries, and such. The dirt roads are a little smoother, but still have potholes in The Village, it's just the gates and large houses that really separate that poverty look.

Last night ended with perfection. We ate, had our quiet time, I had a COLD shower (no hot water), devotional with the team, and then NERTZ! I think we should end every night that way.
