Bonjour tout moun! (Hello everyone)
It is hard to believe that my time in Haiti is now down to
just two short weeks. This past week I got to spend in the Dominican Republic.
It was an amazing adventure and God taught me so many things while I was there.
My friend Callie and I have gotten to know a few missionaries from Santo
Domingo, who invited us to join them in their work for one week. Callie and I
boarded a bus as the only two English speakers and made an 8 hour journey to
Santo Domingo. Although it was beautiful we experienced reverse culture shock
after living in Haiti for the past few months. We were blessed beyond
belief to stay in a great mission house. Throughout the week we got to spend
two days teaching English in two different primary schools and 16 different
classes. I never knew how much I would enjoy teaching basic English! We also
got to spend a day helping at an orphanage for mentally and physically disabled
children. It was one of the most well functioning special needs orphanage I
have ever visited.
Our trip was great,
but all of the luxuries of Santo Domingo cannot compare to the best part of our
trip when we were privileged to lead one of our taxi drivers to Christ. After
talking with him over a 30 minute taxi drive about Christ and the love that God
has for him, he wanted to give his life to Jesus! He also went to church with
our missionary friends the next day. We arrived back to Haiti safe and sound
Friday evening and got to spend Saturday teaching another art class for
children. Tomorrow I will be helping facilitate a medical clinic and later this
week visiting one of my very favorite orphanages in Haiti. I cannot wait! I
ask that you all be praying over the next two weeks as my season in Haiti comes
to an end.
Thank you so much for supporting me this entire journey! God
has used you in huge ways to impact my life through this season. Even the
smallest prayers have been heard by God and powerfully released in Haiti.
