The Eagle has landed!

I can't believe we're here.
We got all our baggage through without a problem. The flight was 8hrs & 50 minutes long, but worth every minute.
Sean is a Brit who is over here for a few months and he picked us up from the airport. Twenty minutes later and our dear friend Lawrence's plane touched down from Florida. Lawrence will be overall in charge, and he is such a lovely gracious man. He's brought his 12year old son Justin who came three years ago. Yes it really is that kind of place that you can bring your kids. It will change their lives and in a safe environment. Oh that every inner city kid who stresses about wearing the right trainers or judges you by the make of phone you own could experience a trip like this!
I'm getting excited!
There wasn't much time left of the day following a swim and a bite to eat. Tomorrow we spend all day preparing. The first of our American team start arriving on Friday. Its going to be tight.
We did get a quick visit from Elio today. Now Elio is basically the driver behind the housebuilding projects. Let me quickly tell you a bit about him. He retired and came on holiday to DR, staying in one of the all inclusive resorts. However Elio decided to go for a walk, and stumbled across a Haitian village. He was appalled at the level ofdepravation and cried out to God 'Why do you allow this to happen' He heard God say 'Well what are you doing about it Elio?'
So Elio promised he would build a house for a Haitian immigrant before he left. He's up to 600 now. Elio never really went home.

I find him an inspiration. But its also a bit scary! When you question God you might just get an answer that will change your life!
