Back in the states

Thankfully, Anna and I made it home safely from Haiti - after one cancelled flight, a few delays, being stranded at the airport, and being kicked off of a flight. But thankfully, all is well now.  I'll be heading to Ghana next sunday.  It seems it's all coming at me rather quickly, but I've definitely learned a lot in the last few weeks. 

When doing missions work in 3rd world countries:

1. know the language

2. have a vehicle

3. get a phone number in case of being stranded in airports

4. american bug-spray is ineffective

5. people greatly appreciate smiles

I hope you all had a lovely new years - I spent mine watching fireworks and listening to the various Haitian parties (techno and latin music included) until five a.m.  I truly appreciate all your prayers and thoughts. God bless!
