Whew! What a Week!

Our team is home and very tired, but also very energized by what they saw and experienced last week, when they went to Cotes de Fer, Haiti to distribute the aid that you, our wonderful community, helped us to gather.

Our 53' foot trailer was unloaded into 3 "smaller" trucks and then driven the 4 hours into Cotes de Fer. As you can imagine, the scene was somewhat chaotic as people lined up to receive their items, but it was an organized chaos. The people were so happy to know that they had not been forgotten and that Jim had kept his word to bring relief supplies back to them.

We had been given about 300 Creole Bibles to take down and to the team's "surprise", although, that may not be the right word, many of the people would have cheerfully given up their tent if they would have had to choose between getting a tent or getting a Bible. (For our next trailer load, we definitely need to get more Creole Bibles!)

It was a very emotional time for our team, to see first-hand the conditions these wonderful people were existing in, and to find out that, even in the midst of all this, they hadn't lost hope.
