Here is Lindsey's first message to us: We've been pretty busy here but the evenings have been good down time. I did intake at the clinic today - just blood pressure and weight. Last night on the way to the house from the airport it took us about 2 hours just to get through the city. I don't think I've ever seen so many people in the same place before. It was worse than Chicago during rush hour. The sidewalks were jam packed, I have no clue how anyone got anywhere because it was so crowded. And there were very few stoplights so the drivers were really aggressive. Willem had to pretty much just go and if someone else wanted the same spot he made it pretty obvious that they were going to have to back down because he certainly wasn't going to. It was pretty scary. Anna and I took a four wheeler up to the clinic this morning and it was such a bouncy ride because it's so rocky. I was flying all over the place because I'm so little. But it was so fun and the landscape is beautiful. Also the food here is pretty weird. Apparently what we call soup is only called soup if you put pumpkin in it, otherwise it's boulion, pronounced with a French accent.
The two photos are of Lindsey and her boyfriend, Brandon, and of Anna (sorry it's blurry). More photos to come through the week. The camera's batteries were dead when they arrived, so none were taken the first day.
Prayers and praises: Thank God for a safe trip. Pray for their time with the Haitians and that their love for Christ will shine through and make an impact on the people they interact with.
while Eileen & Jen get lots of girl time hanging out & talking late into the night when it's quiet throughout the house.
