sou wout Port au Prince lan

Tet chaje! Twa pann kaotiou! or in other words... oh my head! Three flat tires!

Jean and Lily from City University of New York were kind enough to give Youry, Resline and I a ride to the city from Faugasse. We got underway about 11:30 and hoped to arrive in PAP by 3:30. Well, we all know that things don't always go according to plan. After the first flat tire, Jean was smart enough to find a tire repair shop along the way because the spare was terribly unbalanced. Thank God he did, because Stop #3 was to change the next flat tire... and then once again try to find a tire shop. On and on it went, until our final stop God gave us a rainbow. As I stood there watching it, a man came up to me and asked what I was looking at. He was quite friendly, but couldn't quite understand why this white girl was standing on the side of the road seemingly looking up at nothing. Then along came a family, and I encouraged the little girl to venture out from under the tree to look up at the rainbow. She did so and gave a big smile, telling me that it was only the second rainbow she had ever seen. That was pretty cool...

So off we went with no more troubles save a very bumpy path up the side of a mountain to drop off Lily and her aunt to their destination. After a few stops to ask directions, we have arrived safely at the Guest House. It is quite lovely here with plenty of fans... and internet!

Please pray for us tomorrow. We will be at the Embassy, and only God can overcome the obstacles that are now in our path. But just this very week we shared with the kids the story of Jesus' birth, and how the angel told Mary, "Nothing is impossible with God.' So we are standing on that promise!!
