Tent city

Hey Everyone!

It's Kari Bristol. We arrived safely yesterday in Haiti and got to the guesthouse around 2:30 just as it started raining. The newbies to Haiti were amazed at their first taste of Haiti during the short trip from the airport to the guesthouse. We all couldn't wait to get out and experience more of Haiti.

Unfortunately the rain got harder and harder and we couldn't venture out.
So the music guys rehearsed and the rest of us sang along until the sound of the rain on the tin roof drowned us all out.

After dinner the rain let up a bit so we were able to go down to the tent city at the end of the block. Jean insisted on driving us even though it is a very short walk because the rain turns the roads to mud here. So we loaded up in his truck.

We took some candy to hand out as we walked through the tight spaces between tents.
I saw one lady wearing a bright purple shirt that said "WOW". The shirt came from my church and it was in the care package that my team in February handed out.

We all agreed after this "taste" of Haiti that we couldn't wait to get out there again the next day.
