As I sit and reflect on my trip to Haiti my heart is full.  I LOVED every minute of it.  And when I say that I’m including the cold showers, the new perfume that was a mixture of Coppertone sunblock and OFF Bug spray, the blazing blinding sun, the crazy traffic, and the heat and…

Travel day.  The Brian’s were not keen on my initial travel concept of arriving at the airport an hour before the flight was to depart, they were surprised it worked for me on my way down, so they gave me a departure time to ensure I had plenty of time to arrive and get through…

Day seven, God’s number…my last day in Haiti.  We started the day off by going to Bro Bunker’s school.  It has grades k-12, and is considered one of the better schools in the area.  We went early to be there for the morning devotional and also the ‘raising of the flag’.  Watching all the kids…

Clinic Day!!  Woke up early to make it to the clinic to prepare for the day.  We arrived and David had straightened up for us and it smelled like cleaning supplies.  I’m a person who likes the smell of bleach, so it was a nice welcome to walk in to the smell of Lysol.  Set…

Today was a ‘sight seeing’/running errands day.  We went up the mountain to  Petion-Ville to the Caribbean (a large supermarket) and to Fermate to the Baptist Mission.  We had lunch at the Baptist mission, I grabbed a keychain — one made from their pressed metal they hammer out, and then we toured the mountain some…

Today is the day!!  My first clinic to be held here in Haiti.  We let a local orphanage (a different one than Trudy’s Kids) know we would be open today, and they were allowed to bring 40 people to be seen.  We arrived early to get the ‘pharmacy’ inventoried and get set up, the patients…

It’s Sunday!!  We road to church on the church van, and attended the service with the Roach’s at the Children’s home.  I didn’t understand much of what was being said, but worshiping with them was not difficult.  I did figure out one of the songs, “He Brought Me Out”.  The lyrics say that ‘He set…

It’s a beautiful thing to wake up to the electric working.  What?  Well here electric isn’t a given.  You don’t just walk into the room and flip the switch, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler/warmer (though seldom would you go warmer), because it a work of art to have electric.  If the electric is…

Oh vey!  I almost made a colossal novice mistake on arrival to the airport.  When looking at my travel times I kept focusing on my ‘departure’ time and not when they would actually be boarding the plane.  I set my alarm to be there an hour (not two) from that time.  When I arrived to…

A lot has transpired over the past couple of months in my life, my families life, and a lot of it has made me step back and absorb life.  My word this year is ‘intentional’ — having purpose, and being deliberate in all aspects of life. One aspect of that was being more deliberate in…
