Haiti Day 1 (2011)

Haiti Day 1
We left for Haiti today and are en route to Detroit. I was running behind as usual with camera stuff, but am pretty happy with how the rig turned out so far. We will see if it survives the week or not. I don’t have a proper screwdriver, but it is what it is.

My prayer for the hour is that I would stay out of the way and not be a distraction to the team and others. God give me the wisdom to know when to pick it up and put it down. It has been A long day so far, but I am trusting god to give me strength until we hit our temporary home. Hopefully I can nap on the airplane.

…I must have napped more then I thought. Everyone else is exhausted and I am ready for another hour or two. I already feel some tension among some of the team. Which is unfortunate but not unexpected. I may have hurt rachels feelings when I joked about the sunset not happening in the morning and it was completely unintentional. Help me not to make an enemy of Rachel or anyone else on the team. Show me how to reach out. I didn’t do interviews tonight…if I could go back and do it over I would grab interviews while we were waiting for supper. I need to just grab them when I can instead of waiting around. I didn’t eat very much for supper, but I know I will be fine for a while. Eventually I think we will have a chance to eat something significant.

I am not sure what I think about my purpose here…did I not listen to God and just go because I could?

Every thing I saw just reminded me of Nicaragua. It seemed a little worse I guess, but it is the same general theme.

I need to worry less about what people think of me…and more about what God has for me. I wish I knew what to do… I feel pretty alone and like I am bothering people.

Anyways Bob the founder shared a challenging message that I enjoyed.
