So it looks like i wont be leaving Bercy until Wednesday, that's the tentative plan as of now considering everything in Haiti needs a little flexibility. It is really exciting because it means that i get to be with the people that i have seen grow and develop for 2 weeks instead of one. i thought i would only be here a few more days, but Dorothy cant come get me tomorrow to go to PAP because she doesn't have insurance on her car yet and getting stopped here is a bit more of a hassle than in the US.
The group from Florida is leaving Tuesday and I might get to PAP then, but Rusty thought it would be more fun to be able to have Cheryl and their daughter come with and get to spend some time with Dorothy, maybe even get a burger at this place called epi-odr. LOL...funny name, but when you don't get burgers often they say it good!
I am learning creole a tiny bit and its fun, but i have to admit it has been a struggle and i ha vent even been here two weeks yet. for some reason i put all this pressure on me to learn it, but PRAISE to God Mama Cheryl reminded me that I am not here to learn a language and if i never learn it is okay. I'm here to serve my LORD & KING and the beautiful children of Haiti. I am so humbled and blessed to be here. I need to remember I'm called here to love as Christ loved all of us and bring justice to those that too often are forgotten.
Today my sponsored child, Mrytha accepted Jesus in to her heart and i was able to be there, a huge blessing. she is up against so much, a story in itself for another day. we went to the Mountain community Terre Noir, my third time going up there since I've been here. God is so great too, because when we left to start walking i was exhausted and didn't think i could do it...then on the way down i was laughing and running and having so much fun...the whole way i was praising and feeling right at home. Surrounded by the banana leaves, dirt, thorns, sun, clouds and Sarah the daughter of the missionaries, Wilguens who is fickle in his love, but he has stolen my heart, and Wilfred a strong Christian man who all the Haitian women want ;). it was just a wonderful day.
i wish you could all be here when i look out and see God's glory in his creation of the sun and sky, the mountains and the ocean, and the smiles of all these children and Haitians that just melt my heart.
i miss you all, thank you for the prayers, the letters in my scrapbook, and being a part in this journey God has me on.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
