We made it!!!!

Hey everyone this is Deidrick! We are finally here safe in the home of our wonderful host Thony. The trip went super smooth. Everyone had high spirits despite the fact that we were all running on about an hour of sleep.
The drive from the airport was eventful as always. People here like to drive on both sides of the road no matter whom and what is in the way. The driving here was always one of my favorite things. Our host Thony recently came back from a visit to the states, and I asked him what he thought of the driving here compared to America: he said driving in the states was boring...
After the trip of dogging cars, motorcycles, people, and potholes the size of me, we arrived to our h

ost home. Everyone was pretty tired; however the desire for food quickly became the thing that was on the forefronts of our minds.
Thony took the team to a local restaurant down the street, where most of the team enjoyed their first taste of Haitian cooking. The food and company was fabulous!

Today has really been a great start to the trip. We are all tired, yet our spirits are not dampened. Please continue to pray for us, as I am sure the obstacles will become more challenging. Tomorrow is our first day in the tent city and we will have to fill a gap of time a little bit larger than we anticipated. Thanks for everyone who is praying for us! We are all healthy and feeling great! Pray for God sized stories and for His Kingdom to come to those kids in the tent city! We'll be in touch soon!
Goodnight everyone!
