Heather- First Day in Haiti

Wow! Today was a crazy day, and great. Kirsten and I got off the plane about 10:30 am spotted that flourescent pink sign for Bethal Guest House. We were swooped away to the hospital and began seeing pts within a half hour. Extreme Makeover was there with some great little girls that were fitted with new prosthetics by Limbs for Life and Range of Motion Project. It was a LONG day! They kept shooting and re-shooting. We were told 4 hours of shooting for 60 seconds of TV. Kids hang out at the clinic, but they were watching and grouping too much by the shooting. So I took out my balloons and ball pump and we headed for some benches. They crowded around and eventually made a line and we went through 100 balloons in 45 minutes. Hats! (thank you Chris) They loved it. Even our interpreters were facinated. The boys were running up and down the street with these balloon hats kicking a ball around.
We finally wrapped up the day, drove through the city,passed many chickens, a tent town and landed in our wonderful Guest House for dinner and a shower.
God has blessed us with a nice breeze to cool off the night.
Tomorrow we have church and a visit to the orphanage.
Heather
