Haiti — Back in the USA

Well, the crew is back in the good ole USA. We're at Miami International waiting for our next and final flight, set to depart for DFW at 6:20. This is our seventh flight of the trip, one for each of our team members. LJ and Ruth elected to stay an extra night in Miami so it'll just be we five guys returning tonight.

This morning we woke up in Cayes and before half the team was awake (okay, maybe just one of us) we were in the air on Tortug Airlines headed across the mountains towards Port-au-Prince. Feelings were mixed on the team about leaving such a unique place but by the time we landed in Port I think every one of us was truly ready to go home. Travel away from family will do that to a person.

So here we go, on our way to the land of Dr. Pepper, Blue Bell and Justin Boots (thanks, Kent). See ya tonight.

UPDATE (10:00pm) — Team is home. And we brought rain! You can thank us later... Time to rest and recover after the long trip. Thank you SO much for your prayers, brothers and sisters. We felt them every step of the way, and I mean that. Knowing that you were back here lifting us up before the Father lifted our spirits greatly. Many blessings!

— John
