(This is Brent typing.) Well, Connie has made it to Florida, where she'll stay overnight and fly out first thing in the morning to Haiti. Evidently doing the trip in one day is flat-out brutal, so they break it up like this. It was a special scene at the airport this morning, with everyone from the ''I'' Team and their family members there. Those are some terrific people, giving what they can for the Haitians. I got to talking w/ a lady who has done medical missionary work in Haiti several times and also in India. She has no medical background, but the team can use all the help they can get. She is bringing her 10-yr-old daughter for the first time as well. The daughter's job? To help lead the seeing-challenged patients from one end of the hospital to another. Pretty cool. I'd like to go some day and bring the kids, too. Speaking of the kids...
Evan (our 6-yr-old son) said a special prayer for Mom tonight. He asked to: keep Mom safe, help the kids she is helping stay still for their surgeries, and to please, please, please let Mom come home in five days instead of ten. We miss you already!
Lots of love and best wishes to everyone.
