Dear families, we are SAFELY in home, so I have been given permission to post this. We did not want to worry anyone, since details were sketchy.
On Sunday there was a jail break in Haiti, in the area near our hotel. While at the Ryan Epps home, we were informed that there was an uprising at the jail, that thugs had overtaken the guards, and were shooting policemen. They also told us that one of the escapees was in jail for kidnapping, so our imaginations were running wild (especially Dana's)
Here is a link to the story: http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/08/11/4284503/haiti-offers-reward-in-prison.html
The good news was that we were on our way to deliver ice cream to the 46 children, in a direction away from the prison. All of your prayers for our safety must have taken us in that direction.
Dana told us that her worst fear was that something would happen on this trip and that she would be blamed for putting us in harms way. Instead, nothing bad happened, we had a great trip, let's give Dana a little credit for her part in getting us together.
