I've been waiting so so long for this, and it's so close! I am so excited for what God has in store for me, and I can't wait to experience it all!
My mind has been on Haiti seemingly every day since I signed up for this trip, and I even told my coworkers that this week is going to be incredibly unproductive since all I can think about is Haiti! My mind is restless with thoughts of what I'll experience.
Since I leave in FOUR DAYS, I've been asking around for tips and such. My good friend Lainey (my "sister") went in December so she's been a super valuable resource and has helped me learn a little bit of what to expect. And talking to Michelle, a girl from my church who moved down there in July for a year, has obviously been a great resource too. I've heard many stories of times spent in Haiti from people of all walks of life and one thing that seems to keep coming up is that you won't want to leave Haiti. The goodbye is long and extremely emotional. I haven't even been there yet and I already feel like I'll never want to leave!
I've been saying for months that my heart belongs to Haiti. Isn't it crazy beautiful that I can say that without ever visiting Haiti? God is good! SO SO GOOD!
"Keep an open mind and remember whatever you do is God working through you. He will lead and guide you. Pray for peace of heart." ~a text from Lainey
