Being in Haiti was emotionally draining for me.  It just hit me hard as I pondered the fate of so many.  I did have more than one moment of laughter though.

Can I share one with you?

MRE's from Switzerland at the airport in Puerto Au Prince. Life is good!

One of the coolest things I have done in a while is eat an MRE from Switzerland.

The second coolest thing I have done in a while is eat an MRE with new Haitian friends.  We were together, just off the tarmac at the Missionary Aviation Fellowship (MAF) hanger waiting to receive water filters.

It was hot, humid and sticky.  Someone asked if the “guys” had eaten lunch and I indicated I did not think so.   So we opened the MRE’s, waited for them to sizzle and had lunch.

Maybe you had to be there but I thought it was hilarious, eating MRE’s from Switzerland, on the tarmac in Puerto Au Prince with some great new Haitian friends.

Thanks to the Missionary Aviation Fellowship guys who ‘prepared” lunch for us.

I loved the moment.  I love life.  Hope you have a great weekend.  Keep praying for Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
