We arrived in Haiti Wednesday, instantly we realized things were going to be different than in
the USA. We soon found that communication was going to be one struggle we would have
to face. At home, we are used to picking up a land line or cell phone anytime we need to
talk to someone. Even when we are bored at home we can pick up our laptop and go to a
social networking site to chat without ever getting off the couch. That is definitely not the case
here in Haiti. First thing this morning there were Haitians on the porch of the mission house
seeking medical treatment. They had no way of getting in touch with anyone other than to
just come to us and ask for help the best they knew how. Of course the language barrier was
automatically an issue, but thanks to an interpreter we were able to efficiently deliver care.
