I think my favorite part
of the week was when we visited the Haiti Deaf Academy and got to play soccer and dominoes
and some of the ladies got to have their fingernails painted. It was almost sad to think that when someone
came and took them to a regular store which they had never seen before they
asked if they were allowed to go into the store. They marveled at the doors which opened
automatically and the soap dispenser which you just pushed a button and out came
the soap. You pretty much have to be
here to experience the wonderfulness of serving those less fortunate. My wish is that you all may have the blessing
of coming on a trip with Healing Haiti. This
was my first but I can guarantee you it will not be my last. Thank you Lord for allowing me to be a part
of this team. - 
Today as I walked your streets
I prayed that someday we would walk the streets of gold together.
Today
as I looked into your eyes and saw my reflection I prayed that when you look at
me you see a reflection of Him.
Today
as I painted your nails I prayed that as the paint fades away that you
would still feel beautiful.
Today
as I held your hand and walked with you I prayed that as you walk through life
that you would never be alone.
Today
as I tried to learn to speak your language I prayed that our language of love
would be received and understood.
Today
as I heard your laughter I pray that your life would be filled with joy and
happiness.
Today
as I prepare to leave I pray i never forget all the memories I have of you and
I smiling knowing just how much He will never forget you and will always
love you.
