Hey everyone! This is my first and definitely not last time in Haiti! I’m having a wonderful time with wonderful people doing wonderful things. Haiti is such a beautiful place. When you look past the garbage and the poverty, and focus on the landscape, the community, and the people, you can truly appreciate the beauty God placed in Haiti. One thing that stood out to me was the pure joy and friendliness of the people. It completely amazes me how happy these people are with barely anything, while people with more than necessary groan and complain about everything. It makes me so much more grateful for what I have at home. I wish I could stay here longer and do and experience more. The other day, Kate asked if I was homesick, I replied, “No! I’m the opposite of homesick!” Everyone agreed that if my mom heard this, she’d be on a plane and get here tomorrow! Anyways, I have fallen in love with the people and place of Haiti. I am so glad that God lead me here and if he leads me anywhere else, I will gladly follow.. Orevwa!
