Day 1

Arrived safely in Haiti yesterday afternoon.  When they all tell you it's like a completely different country, they arn't kidding.  As much as we in America think we know about poverty, no pictures, documentories or books can prepare you for the actual experience. 
It has been a great experience so far, getting to meet Dr. Kelly is awesome.  She is so strong in her faith and compassionate for these people its amazing.  
Today we had a spay and neuter clinic where we spayed 6 females and neutered 4 male dogs.  Mind you this was done on the tailgate of the truck by 6 veterinary students.  I did my first ever dog castration and half of a spay.  Rocked some subcuticular sutures!  Very thankful for my UNL education and suturing real tissue before today. 
Tomorrow we are going to attend the local church and then drive 5 hours to northern Haiti.  We will spend three days in the northern part of the island working on livestock, along with some horses and more dogs.  
Thank you for your prayers.  Keep them coming!
