Early impressions from the Newark airport en route to Haiti:<\/p>\n

How has the trip been so far?<\/p>\n

Teri: Exhausting.<\/p>\n

Janette: The team gets along really well so it\u2019s promising that we\u2019ll have a great week together. Good attitudes. I think we\u2019ll have a really good week together.<\/p>\n

Corrie: I am excited. In the meetings we are doing business, but now we are actually doing work and it\u2019s fun to be with everybody.<\/p>\n

Rob: I\u2019m tired. I\u2019m not quite excited yet, but I\u2019m getting there.<\/p>\n

Andy: One thing I\u2019ve noticed is I keep wondering why other passengers in the airport keep staring at me. Then I realize we\u2019re all wearing the same red shirt. Everything has gone smooth. Hopefully that will be a sign of what the rest of the trip will be like.<\/p>\n

What are you anticipating for the rest of the day?<\/p>\n

Teri: Another long trip. Looking forward to getting to Haiti and seeing what I\u2019ve been looking forward to for months and months.<\/p>\n

Janette: Mostly I think it will be an adventure to get where we are actually going to be working. If we do anything beyond that it will be a huge blessing and a surprise. Get to our location and get settled and get comfortable.<\/p>\n

Corrie: I\u2019m really tired so I anticipate being grumpy but I\u2019m trying not to. A lot of heat and a lot of sweat. And just a huge world we never knew.<\/p>\n

Rob: I\u2019m going to be very tired. Hopefully we won\u2019t have a lot of activities today other than getting to the school. And hopefully, we\u2019ll be able to rest the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

Andy: I think to be a little bit shocked by the heat when we come out of the airplane. I think just all the people that will be in Haiti. That\u2019ll be a little bit of a shock, too. Just how many of them there are. Hopefully, we won\u2019t do a lot but get back to the place and prepare for tomorrow and get going then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
