I have been to Haiti in June before but I never remember it being this hot. It is going to be a challenge.
Anne and I left this morning and were in PAP by 2:30. Our flights went well and were greeted at the airport by my friend Jonna. We went to visit the patients at the Heartline hospital briefly and to go to the roof-top garden to pick basil and spinach for the homemade pizza we had for dinner.
In my honor, Jonna made homemade pizza for everyone. She was attempting to make this the evening of the earthquake but of course we never finished. So she thought that she would try again. Huge success!
We are staying at the new Heartline guesthouse. It is so nice and there are so many guests. It is fun to see so many people in to help in a varity of different ways.
Thanks again to each of you for your amazing support and generous donations. With abundant gratitude I write to you this evening! Tomorrow, Saturday will mark the 5 month anniversary of the day life changed forever in Haiti.

Hey Joanna & Anne! So glad you made it safely yesterday. I’ll be praying for you and your mission down there — and some cooler weather, perhaps? Hugs to you both…
