We made it!

We arrived in our Hotel about 3:30 local time after being blessed with a near-perfect day of travel.  All flights were on time, wait times were reasonable, and all bags arrived with us!

It's hard to describe this place to someone who has never been.  The feeling I get is one of being dropped into a movie set.  It is almost hard to process all of the sights and sounds that are thrown at you as soon as you walk out of the airport. The beauty of the countryside compared to the squalor of the neighborhoods. Razor wire and armed guards at every business. But most of all the tremendous warmth and love of our friends and Brothers here.

After checking into the hotel and getting settled, we headed over to the Ambassadors for Christ clinic to assemble food bags.  We ended up with just over 200 bags of food that will be distributed to the poor of the City.

The bags also include this note that basically say that they have been donated by the Church of Christ in Valley of the Angels in the name of Jesus.
                                                        
Tomorrow we are off to the Valley of the Angels to host a medical clinic and begin construction on a house.  Pray that we are able to touch as many lives as possible in the short time that we are here.
