I'm here.   easy trip, flight was less than half full, few Haitians, mostly missionaries!    two large groups with the same t shirt's and all.   Got thru the airport in about 10 minutes....unbelievably easy.   Gary was right there, we went and got some stuff he needed and the ride back was wonderful up to about 5 miles from St. Marc, so overall it was not bad at all.    It is REALLY HOT, sweated all night, soaked this morning at 7:30.  I am already drinking stuff for dehydration, I really don't want to go there again.  

Haiti is still Haiti.   Barb called this morning and said a baby that a family in MacDonald had given her about 2 days ago to care for died in her sleep last night.   The baby was 9 months old and weighed almost 9 pounds.   She never had a chance.   Barb is going to the family to talk to them and let them know.  In such a sad way, it feels like the same place I left.   Not that it would change in a few months, or because of my perspective of it, but it does kind of slap you in the face some.    So, there is another unnamed family to pray for.  Tomorrow is missionary meeting so I will catch up with everyone.  take care everyone.
