As I am typing right now, most of our team is sleeping on the plane due to a lack of sleep as we are en-route to Miami, where we will have a 4 hour layover before we head to Haiti . Let me fill you in. Our morning today started at 2:00 am where we met at church to load everything up for our trip to Haiti. It’s amazing to think that so many people can be that excited so early, but that was definitely the case. Once we got to the airport, then we had the sheer joy of checking in 24 large bags and suitcases. (Not fun!) Once we finished with that, off to the gate where we all waited for about an hour and a half. That brings you up to this point. I know, not to exciting but we’re trying our hardest to keep our family, friends and church family in the loop!
We do know what the first day is going to look like so let me fill you all in. We will arrive in Santiago, Dominican Republic at 8:15 pm on Saturday (which is today). By the way for all those that don’t know, the Dominican Republic and Haiti share the same island. In fact, our hotel, which is called, Hotel Massacre (no joke) is on the D.R. side so we will be crossing the border everyday to work with Danita’s Children, the orphanage where we will be spending most of our time. After clearing customs, we will be off to the hotel by the airport, different from Hotel Massacre which is where we will be staying for most of the trip. Tomorrow when we wake up, we will stick around the hotel until about 3:00 pm because we are waiting for Bill Waterman, a Danita’s Children representative that will be our host for the entire time we are here. He’s flying in from Florida cause he’s actually in transition from a career in the states that he gave up to answer God’s call to work at the orphanage. After we pick him up, we will be in for a 3 hour bus ride to the Hotel Massacre which should put us in at around 7 or so. Then finally on Monday, off to see the children at Danitas and see what the Lord has in store for the team.
The hotel that we are staying at does have Wi-Fi so we will be able to blog each night so please keep checking in. Continue to pray that the Lord will use us in a big way and that we will be a blessing to the orphanage. Thank you again for all your prayers and also for all those that financially supported this trip. Until later, God bless!
Until the Whole World Hears,
Sean Peters
