I'm home from my mission trip and my heart is so full of joy as I type this post! Going to Haiti was a life changing, inspiring and oh so beautiful experience for me. I'm already ready and waiting to go back next year!

The places, faces and smiles I saw while in Haiti have been replaying in my mind ever since I returned back to the States. To say that Haiti has a piece of my heart would be an understatement; Haiti has my whole heart. The people there are so full of joy and love that I yearn for my own country to experience the wealth of the intangible riches they have. The children also are just so trusting, so loving, so beautiful.


 Being able to serve there has been such a blessing. The people I met from across the U.S. as well as the Haitians who live there have touched my heart and soul. I cannot wait to go back.




While Haiti is far from perfect, no place on earth is, I will say that they have something I didn't expect, something I can't quite put my finger on. I wanted to thank you for all of your prayers as I traveled last week. I highly recommend you travel to Haiti with A Door to Hope, a part of Brent Gambrell Ministries .

 
I traveled to Haiti following the call of God, hoping to make a difference in the lives of the people of Haiti. I left with the realization that Haiti made a difference in me.

I've managed to go quite a while without an update on this blog and for that I apologize. Life has gotten a tad bit crazy the past few weeks! With the school year winding down (only a week left), and my mission trip to Haiti coming up (only two weeks until I leave), I've found that writing blog posts have been the last thing on my mind lately! But not to worry. I've had different ideas floating around  about what to do with my little space on the world wide web.

Anyway, here is my quick update on what's been going on....

There's still some last minute errands and things to do before the trip. I need to find a baseball cap, buy more bug spray, choose what I'll be wearing in Haiti each day and help pack the supplies my team and I will be carrying. Overall though, I'm happy to report that so far things have gone very smoothly! (To God be all the praise!) I had hardly any problems with getting my passport and booking the flights through Brent Gambrell Ministries (the ministry I'm staying with) was so easy. My hats off to this amazing organization. They've been such a blessing to work with and have made life so much easier for me as I prepare. BGM has truly been a God-send! It's been so exciting to prepare for this trip and it's hard to believe that it's now less than two weeks away. Any and all prayers would also be much appreciated!

I may not have time to update as often until the hazy, hot and humid days of July roll around but I didn't want to leave you hanging until then. I'll definitely try to update the Facebook page more often while the blog is quieter.

I wanted to leave you with two beautiful videos by BGM, a ministry that is the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.
