Nancy Guyer Davison and nine others, arrive in Haiti for a ten-day mission trip

(Editor, Note: Nancy Guyer Davison, a 1989 graduate of Postville High School, has recently returned from a mission trip to Haiti. Nancy, who lives in Carson City, Nev. with her husband, Sean, and their daughters, Clare and Taylor, traveled to Haiti via Iowa. She, along with her uncle, Pastor Leslie White, and his wife, Rebecca, and six others spent ten days working with the Haitian people. Nancy is the daughter of Gerald and Vada Guyer of Postville. This is the first of a four part series.)

When asked why she decided to travel to Haiti, Nancy said, “My Uncle Leslie, who is from Clermont, is a pastor at Wesleyan Church in West Union. He approached me about a year and a half ago about the possibility of a mission trip to Haiti. I have always declined mission trip in the past because they usually involve physical therapists working with handicapped children and pediatrics is not my calling. However, I’ve always felt God nudging me to do a mission trip at some point. When this call came from Uncle Leslie, it felt right. He said I would be teaching Haitian nursing students. God had more to this plan.”

After arriving in Iowa, Nancy’ journey began with a flight from Cedar Rapids to Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Upon arrival in Haiti the group had to complete a customs/immigration form on the plane and then were given another form to fill out once they entered the airport.
