Back home in Haiti

On Sunday, August 5th Carol and I arrived in Haiti from two different cities. Carol flew to Port-au-Prince from Miami, and I flew from Newark, NJ.
You may wonder how Carol got to Miami. She drove down with Ricky to help him get started at Florida International University in Miami. Ricky is living with his best friend from Quisqueya Christian School: Abraham Jaar. Ricky starts freshman orientation on August 13th and classes start the following week.
Unfortunately, my flight was four hours late, but as God worked it out I landed just about the same time as Carol and so we went home from the airport together. We were greeted at the airport by Ronald and Ti-Frère, who sometimes drives for us.
We went directly from the airport to Quisqueya Christian School where Carol was supposed to have a teacher’s meeting. However, we got in too late for the meeting, just in time for dinner, which was good because I was pretty hungry!
When we got back to the house our Haitian friends Ecdes and Paules and our dog, Lexi, Macy our cat and were waiting for us. We're glad to be back but it's hot--just as hot as being in Philadelphia! Hot and humid – ugh! We've had a super busy week with Carol getting ready for school and me preparing for and hosting a team--already! But that's a story for the next post....
