Our flights went well and the entire team of 8 gathered together in Miami. Once in Port au Prince, we hired several porters to gather our 19 bags of luggage and boarded the Guest House Tap Tap. The streets of PaP greeted us with eye popping color, ear popping sound, and interesting aromas.
The city looked less damaged than a year earlier. I saw new construction, but sadly many tent cities remain.
At the Guest House we met a team of 10 Methodist from Houston, Texas. They will be our housemates for the week.
After a delicious supper, most of us took a refreshing dip in the pool. Then Stevenson Theodore, our hired Haitian music director, rehearsed us for our performance tomorrow at the church. We are lucky this year to have Don Goodroe and his trumpet! I think the congregation at Croix des Mission will enjoy our songs. It seems that it is a custom in Haiti to show their friendship through song. So we will show ours tomorrow.
