First week

Hey friends!

So sorry it took me so long to post this. I have been busy busy here in Haiti since I landed last Tuesday.

I want to start off by saying that this is my first blog and have absolutely no idea what I'm doing haha. I figured this would be an easier way to communicate than anything else.

Also, I will for sure misspell a whole lot and not use the right tense and what not, so just be prepared. :)

Enough with the nonsense! Life in Haiti is SO great! It has almost been a week and it has flown by. I have finally set up my phone so being able to communicate with everyone back home has been the biggest blessing.


Thank the Lord for technology..am I right?!



So a lot of people have been asking me what I'm doing here?

So my main responsibility is being in charge of the mission teams that will be coming this summer. We won't have one until June 4th so I've been doing the administrative side of it this week.

-Getting team information
-Flight information (so we actually get to the airport in time to pick them up haha)
-Meal planning

All that jazz.

We are also partnered with five different orphanages. So we deliver water once a week to each orphanage and just hang out with the kids while we are there. Its the best. I believe we deliver food once a month to the kids, but we deliver a LOT when we do deliver!

That's basically what we have been doing since I got here. It may not seem like much but it takes a long time to get stuff done around here.


Traffic in Haiti puts 280 to shame...Yes, that's right. To shaaaaaaaame!


But I don't mind it :) Its normal life here so you get used to it.

We also have a smaller orphanage right down the road and those kids come to the mission house (where I live) every day. They are learning to sow and will come over to practice and learn. They also like to try and teach me Creole while they are over...and also like to laugh at me when I can't pronounce stuff. Haha its a blast!

So that is a small bit of information about why I am here and what I'm doing. I don't want to give y'all information overload, so I'll end with this...


The Lord has really opened my eyes to see what true faith is in the short time I've been here. The Haitian people have to have faith that He is going to provide their next meal. Faith that he will provide the funds for clean water. Faith for everything. When I look at the Haitian people, I see people who really understand the meaning of this.

It challenges me in my walk with the Lord and I pray that He really teaches me the true meaning of faith. Its so easy in the states to just do everything ourselves and not rely on the Lord, because we have access to so much. I really hope I can leave here with a new outlook on really trusting the Lord fully. So as you read this, I hope you are challenged to really search your hearts and ask the Lord to strengthen your faith.

Love you all and thank you so much for your support and prayers!
