Saying Goodbye to Haiti.

Today is our last full day in Haiti. We spent the morning at Grace Village with the kids.  We had such a wonderful time singing and dancing to Angela playing the guitar and singing for the kids. Listening to kids sing and worship with us was a true blessing. I can still hear their voices singing in praise "Glwa Pou Bondye!"   We then split up and did some arts and crafts with the kids, which was a huge hit! Nikki also had the kids striking yoga poses on the basketball court. We even performed the incredibly difficult "Flowerette Spin" to perfection.

After visiting and playing at Grace Village we went to do a little touring and shopping of Haiti.  The markets were so full of activity and excitement. We stopped at a few markets and bought some of the local Haitian artwork. We ended with a stop on the mountaintop. What an AMAZING view! Words can not even begin to describe the view. As I stood there in amazement of the beautiful view, I was reminded of how beautiful Haiti is. But I was also reminded of the heartache and desperation that we saw while we were serving in Port Au Prince. Seeing Cite Soleil from 6000 feet and from ground zero provide for very different views. Both of which have their own different and unique beauty.

Our team spent the last evening talking and working through so many different thoughts and emotions. Please pray for our team as we travel home and struggle to work through this roller coaster of emotions that we are experiencing. We will wake up tomorrow and board a plane for Minnesota and Arizona and New York with hearts that are broken and aching. Just the way God intended them to be when he chose us all to serve together on this mission of His. God has worked his Will on each one of us in different and unique ways. I feel truly blessed and honored to have served here in Haiti with a team of amazing people with amazing spirits. I came here 6 days ago with people I barely knew, and I am leaving having gained 12 new sisters and a new brother. People who will be a part of my life forever and always in my heart.
