3
month mark..
Well
it has come to that 3 month mark!! Wow where as the time gone! It definitely
doesn’t feel like it has been 3 months! So much has happened but yet I don’t
feel like I have been here that long. As we approach this 3 month mark it means
we have been in Haiti for 90 days and we now have to leave the country to get
our passports stamped to keep up ‘legal’. So tomorrow morning Kathy and I are
venturing off to the Dominican Republic!! Sounds like another adventure to me! J We will be heading to the bus station at about
6:00am and catching the bus that leaves at 8. I’ve heard it’s about an 8-hour
bus ride or so depending on traffic; well actually depending on a lot of things
it could be a lot longer! Needless to say it will be an adventure! I’m excited
for this little excursion and what is in store for us..traveling into the
unknown! J Good thing we got a might God with us! Once
we get to Santo Domingo it’s about a 30 min taxi ride to our ‘all-inclusive
resort’, so we’ve heard. I feel a little guilty about going to an ‘all-inclusive’
resort when I’m surround by so much poverty; I’m still trying to make sense of
it. But on the other hand we are excited to take a little adventure and have
some rest and relaxation. We are hoping to find some fun and exciting things to
do, but also to have some time to ‘just be’. I know I am going to greatly miss
the kids and will be thinking about them and praying for them every night! It
will be weird to have 5 days without any little kiddos calling my name or
giving me a big hug. L I will be looking forward to returning to
those beautiful faces and hugging them all!
So
keep us in your thoughts and prayers over the next several days and I’ll be
sure to post an update when we return.
On
a side note we had a container arrive today and it was like Christmas in Haiti
in September! I was so blessed to be able to find so many goodies sent to me
from my family and friends!! It made my day and made me feel so loved even
though I’m so far away! Thank you all for loving me and support me!
