Arrived Safely

We began our morning with a flight from New York City to Santo Domingo and all along the way God was showing Himself faithful. Proir to our flight we wanted to check our 12 bags of medications at the airport so that we did not have to take them to the hotel but they were reluctant to let us and after Dane gave the ladies at the ticket counter his story and flashed his baby blues we were able to check our bags and get our boarding passes for the flight this morning.  We had several divine appointments at the airport this morning when we meet several people who saw Teri and I wearing Help Haiti T-shirts and thanked us for going to help. The driver of our van, a young man who was in the Navy and had just returned from serving in Haiti 45 days and the flight attendant on the plane just to name a few.

Once we arrived in Santo Domingo we were met by Jesus ( a domincan believer) who was had made arrangements for us to travel to Port Au Prince and arrange for us a place to stay in the Dominican tonight as we were not able to make the trip across the border before it closed for the night. 

Another divine appointment as we arrived at the Baptist church here and Teri and I were greeted by 3 precious little girls wanted to touch the Americanos.  We talked to them in as much Spanish as we could remember and the won our hearts as the peered under the garage door where we had parked our van.We met several other guests here who have been serving in the area here and in Haiti, missionaries like us, who came because God called them.  We are getting ready to eat pizza and listen to more stories about the work in Haiti.  Get some rest and then head out early in the morning for Port Au Prince. 

We have not had access to internet but here on the other side of the world God has once again provide.  We have laughed at some of the things we have been involved in realize in so many ways that Jesus is in the boat and we have nothing to fear.  Thank you for your prayers and we will hopefully be able to post more tomorrow and maybe even some pictures. It is raining right now and we are thankful for the cool breeze as we sit outside and enjoy the evening. Tomorrow the real reason we came will begin.  Up at 5:00 to get to the border by 7:00 and start working at the clinic hopefully by 9:00.
