Hi all,
We finally made it to Passe Catabois after a few setbacks, but then I remember...oh yeah...I'm in Haiti. We had to spend the night at a hotel in Port-au-Prince because there were high winds in Port-de-Paix and the small planes weren't flying anyone out to the north. I've met up with Annelies, another nurse who has been here for 5 months, Dustin, who has lived here on and off, and Annelies's friend from The Netherlands, Amanda. There are also four other girls from America who will be doing a kids camp for four weeks as well as painting another mural for the hospital.
All of my luggage is in Haiti! But only one so far made it to Passe Catabois. Susan's trunk is still at the airport, but all the stuff inside made it through customs (I was nervous Susan; they took out the pills and were like, what is this!!!??? um yeah, I tried to play dumb and say they were for the hospital and he let everything through... ah!!!) Anyway, hopefully all luggage will come tomorrow.
Anne-Marie is not here yet. I guess she will return from visiting her sister on Thursday. I'm guessing the madness will start then. So far Annelies and I are attending to a few patients with some pretty big wounds... a little overwelming.
More to come later.
(ps Lindsey: I'm afraid there is no apple juice at Auntie Ryna's house. That's my secret message for you.)

I'll let Luke know about the juice. He'll be sad. And he'll be even more sad when he realizes he can't see you at your house. Love you! -Lindsey
Ryna,
I am sooo very jealous of your youth and your opportunity to work in Haiti. I am afraid that I started my work in Haiti a little too late to have the kind of effect that you will have.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers every day. Stay safe, but stay involved with the Haitian people you meet, as I am sure you will find them to be the most interesting and beautiful people like I have.

Ryna,
We are so happy to hear you made it. What plans God has for you we do not know, but may he use you as his special instrument our prayers are with you. This will be so neat to bea able to hear from you. Love Ellen & John
