First Full Day in Desire

With wifi presenting a challenge to the team, they now having wifi working in the team's favor.  This is an email sent to me from Hayden:

Hey Chris,
We have arrived safely on Gonaives. Things are going well. Apart from a few minor setbacks (Bens guitar had to be checked and they put it in the baggage claim in MIA- he has it now). Arrived with another from KC that had 26. Things have changed obviously with construction. Many have commented on the improvements throughout Haiti, although still a long way to go. We had a little time in Desire. The kids were so excited. Even the team was ready to bolt out the door! It was great to see Jeannot and he walked us around a little. Well looks great and I can tell it is going to be a tremendous source to the community. The shipping crates are there, but Jeannot says the govt. won't let the kids use them because they will be too hot. Jeannot says Jake is working on some solutions (maybe building another building?). I will check more on this. The other crates look great and it is great to see the kids out of the tents. The team did great the while journey so far. There were pretty tired after a long day.  Today we spend a full day with a break (English am, Bible story pm). I will try to send something in the evening if it works, but for any updates for the website, I will try to send facebook message.
God bless,
Hayden
