10/18/2013 journal entry

Let the adventure of a lifetime begin! After multiple months of waiting impatiently, the journey to Petite Rivière de Nippes (Ti Riv), Haiti has begun! Well, since we don't actually get to Haiti til tomorrow around lunchtime, all I have to reflect on as of right now is the flights.

The flights themselves have been great thus far--both the flight to Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and from DFW to Miami (MIA) are less than like 2 1/2 hours each. Sweet. I can do that! And I love flying anyway, even the classic stomach lurches! You're not flying if you haven't had the stomach lurch! And the DFW airport is seriously gigantic. Like walking from concourse A to concourse D (which we had to do) literally takes 30 minutes walking. But we looked confused so a guy took us there on a handicapped-only cart (that was weird) which only took like ten minutes! :)

Even though not much has happened yet, there's no harm in journaling a bit!

So on the first flight from Indy to DFW, the lady I sat next to started talking with me. She ended up being a Catholic who had drifted away a bit. We talked about that a lot and travel was also brought up a lot. When we were about to land in DFW, she asked me if I'd like to pray with her! Of course I said yes! God is so good!

Along with general journaling, I also decided to write down "sews" (subtle effective witnesses) in bullet points since I'm positive there will be many! So day one, here goes:

Sews & Stitches

  • the drifted away Catholic lady who asked me to pray with her
  • the paramedic on the DFW-MIA flight who sat behind me who was going to Haiti with 20 others for a medical mission
  • as we were leaving MIA for our hotel (our flight to Port Au Prince left early the next morning), there was a young man, about 25 maybe, (who not gonna lie was super cute) who asked for a different taxi because the one there had an advertisement for an all-nude club all over it and he said he didn't want to endorse it! Yay! My heart melted!
