Day 1 is in the books. We arrived in Haiti this afternoon, made it through customs, navigated the gauntlet of entrepreneurial individuals who were hoping to help us with our bags, and were able to connect with our hosts, Rob and Dave. We then drove through the streets of Port au Prince on our way to Hope House and were wide-eyed as we observed the many interesting people, the chaotic but functional traffic patterns, the smartly dressed children in their school uniforms, the goats, and the indefinitely under-construction buildings.  Dave purchased some fried plantains from a vendor that we all enjoyed. We met the rest of our hosts (Trish, Elizabeth, and Grace) at VOH and got right to work sorting supplies and worked our fingers to the bone counting and bagging vitamins for future mobile medical teams to distribute. We enjoyed a delicious dinner and gathered for our devotions where the passage we focused on was Micah 6:8:

He has shown all you people what is good.  And what does the LORD require of you?  To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.  

We will hopefully be able to grow in our ability to live out these three imperatives in the coming week!
