Haiti... We're back! :)

Greetings family and friends!

We safely arrived in here in Port Au Prince, Haiti, and are at Sue's orphanage. The flights went well, and God blessed us in the various airports with wonderful assistance and opportunities to learn flexibility! A huge thanks to Deb who assisted us with our tremendous amount of baggage at O'Hare airport! 
Tonight we are watching a movie with the kids here at the orphanage. So fun!! For those of us who have been here before, it's exciting to see lots of familiar faces, and for those here for the first time, it's an opportunity to make some new friends! 
We are all looking forward to spending time at Michel's church tomorrow and can't wait to enjoy hanging out with the choir kids! 
Thank you to all of you who are supporting us through prayer! We couldn't do it without you all!

God bless!
-Matt

The journey started at my home on Friday night at 9:00pm.  It is a great group and I am so thankful for the investment of many.  We have quite the clinics to get up and running, but first to have this time with children and then the church and youth group tomorrow will be great.  I know that people in Wisconsin will understand our joy of opening a large bag of beef sticks tonight for our supper along with peanut butter on tortilla shells.  For desert a nice selection of granola bars.  Yes, we are well cared for in ways that meet our every need. We got a bit of naps on the flights so everyone is refreshed and not crashing yet on the air mattresses that await our well traveled bodies and minds.
We will have time to update and help you share the time with us on the island.
THANKS TO ALL

  2. Glad to hear of your safe arrival!! It is supposed to be 86 degrees here in Fond du Lac today, with 60% chance of rain tonight, so almost as warm and humid as you have there!?!?! But a high of 70 here tomorrow.... :)

    Enjoy your day of worshiping our Lord with all your good friends in Haiti!! God's richest blessings to all of you,
    Dawn (Sarah and Matt's mom)
