Haiti Day 1

We have arrived :) Our first day has been so amazing with no problems what so ever. Got through customs with 6 bags full of all the items everyone brought for us with no problems at all. Smiling faces awaited for us as we emerged into the hectic exit. Pastor Benoit, his son Abson and Jimmy with warm hugs and excitement in their eyes.
We drove 2 hours through the beautiful mountains to get to Mirebalais. Since I was last there they have paved the pot holed roads and it seems as though the town has grown.
We couldn't wait to get to the orphanage to see all the kids. They have been waiting to years for this return. They hid around corners snickering and staring at us. They are shy our first day of our return, but I know this will change tomorrow.
Pastor Benoit has a couple of the boys climb a tree and shook a few coconuts down that they cut the tops off of and handed to us to sip on. He gave us a tour of the orphanage and to my surprise he has built in the last week an indoor area with metal frame beds for the children to sleep in. A definite upgrade from last time but they still need some new mattresses.
We hung out and had a lovely conversation with Pastor Benoit and his wife. They told us how happy they are that we haven't forgotten about them and have come back.
We decided to re group and head back to the hotel to have some dinner with Jimmy then relax with a glass of Haitian rhum. We are going to wake up early and figure out our plans and what we need to accomplish on this trip. We are so excited to get started but need to rest our heads for tonight.
Pase bon nwit (Have a good night in Creole)
