Each Day is a New Adventure

...and our Haitian adventure has officially begun.  Each one of us is incredibly thankful for safe travels, a welcoming staff and an engaged team.  We are grateful for the opportunity to travel to this amazing country, full of noises, smells, and an atmosphere foreign to us all, but one that has already captured our hearts.

We have left the comfort of the familiar and are opening ourselves to a world totally different from our own.  We are here to meet people we couldn't invent and see scenes we couldn't imagine.  We are trusting God will embrace us on this journey, walking with us and guiding us along the way.  A sense of His presence is already here - in the hearts of our amazing students who have responded to the call to serve, in the Healing Haiti staff who have worked tirelessly to prepare for our travels and in the sweet smiles of the beautiful people of Haiti.


We are grateful for each of you - in one way or another you have supported, loved, encouraged, and trusted us to join this adventure.  You have graced each and every one of us and for that we are blessed.  Although we don't know exactly what is on the road ahead, we are certain we are equipped for the journey.  Our week is guaranteed to be anything but dull or predictable; it's certain to be full of excitement, fear, trepidation, tears, love, joy, encouragement and wonder.  It is a precious gift and will certainly contain surprises.

We're looking forward to the adventure ahead of us and are already aware we're bound to come home blessed and full of God's grace, embracing His trust and with changed hearts.

With Love from Haiti,
Kristine
