Today was a day filled with travel and excitement.  First, everyone in our group had to get to the airport by 4 AM! We all looked and felt exhausted.

     As we boarded the plane it felt like we had finally made it to the trip! We were actually going to Haiti! After a stop in Miami, the plane eventually landed in Haiti. As we were beginning our descent, almost all of us looked out the window in wonder and awe at the amazing features that stood out before us. Vast mountains and blue sea were everywhere! It was beautiful. Then as we got closer to land, we began to see some of the destruction that Haiti has encountered. We saw tent houses and shacks that people were calling their homes. After we landed, we took a bumpy drive over to our guest house. At the guesthouse, you could look over the porch and you could see a group of boys playing soccer! We had lots of fun talking with them even though we didn't have the chance to go play with them. Right at the end of the night, we had a short worship service so that we could praise God for allowing us the chance to travel to Haiti! It was a long and tiring day, but it got us excited for what lies ahead.
