Arrived in Haiti


What a blessed time I have had so far in Haiti!  My sweet parents and wonderful brother came down to Haiti with me which made the moving process easier on me and allowed my heart to be at peace knowing how supportive they were and how God was in control.  I never realized how fortunate I am and how HUGE it was that not only did my parents let me move to Haiti, but they wanted to see Haiti for themselves.  They saw what I was running after and had the chance to see it too.  God has blessed me with an amazing, supportive family which I am so thankful for.

While they were in Haiti we did some work around the house.  My brother helped the Haitian workers and Louis build a pool =) Yes, God is in the process of blessing us with a pool in our front yard.  We are hoping this will be a place to baptize people since there is nothing like that around. My mom and I helped Lori in the house, with the kids, and painted the girls closet.  My dad went around town with some of the men on staff here.  I love how God had a special place for each of us with our time here.    

As with any third world country… time here moves to a different beat than in America.  We planned on taking a day trip to the beach.  Our goal was to leave at 9ish… that turned into 12ish.  Well then we were so close to the beach and our van broke down.  God was so good that he placed us right outside of Convoy of Hope (which was AWESOME because I have seen so many friends stay there and tell me about that organization).  Anyways, we got to the beach around 4:30 =) most people would be frustrated with this timing, but I like it.  When no time is set, I feel like we are able to hear God more clearly.  Whatever is supposed to happen will happen whenever it’s supposed to happen.
