• We’re loading up the bus with our bags now. One stop at a church service and then we’re off to the airport. Hard to say goodbye… #haiti #
• It’s difficult to see some of the orphan boys tearing up as our team boarded the bus to leave. #hardtosaygoodbye #haiti #
• It was a wonderful church service this morning, but we’re on the bus now on the way to the airport. #itshardtosaygoodbye #haiti #
• At the departure gate in the Port-au-Prince airport. Looks like a late arrival is delaying our departure about 20-30 minutes. Coming home!!! #
• We are on the ground in Miami now… Pulling up to the gate then through customs and baggage claim. Its good to be back in the States! #

• Today is our last full day here in #haiti But it’s time to focus… we have one more VBS to do today. Praying that it’s fruitful! #
• One of our interpreters said that the voodoo in #haiti is so bad that they sacrifice children up to 11-12 years old. #
• Our interpreter says that he knows many small children that have just disappeared, most likely for voodoo sacrifice. #haiti #
• Apparently there are people who have children for the sole purpose of being a voodoo sacrifice. #haiti #
• Our one-day VBS… The kids are really enjoying the songs that we are doing with them! #haiti http://tweetphoto.com/38915773 #

• @Crimson_Cougar @bareknuckledawg @iamvatoni @delapour thanks for voodoo info. I’m in PauP about a mile or two SW of the airport. in reply to Crimson_Cougar #
• Several of the adult leaders on our team have been approached by moms asking us to take their child because they cannot feed them… #haiti #
