This morning during our devotion we made it a point to encourage one another and keep our heads up and focused on why we're here. Most of us are experiencing or have experienced some type of physical reaction to the food/water/environment here. It's amazing to me how quickly physical discomfort manifests itself into mental, emotional, and spiritual distress. The team did great today though with the Wesleyan School we visited. The children were great as usual and it was nice to get back to hanging out with kids again from our sabbath yesterday.
One thing that really resonated with me was when we were leaving the school there was one boy chosen from the kids to wish us goodbye. His response so was beautiful and I hope that us as a team and the people who read our blog can take it to heart. His hope is that when we return to the states that we will continue to pray for the people of Haiti and continue to send people to them.
It's so weird to think tomorrow is our last full day here before we leave Wednesday. Time has flown by on this trip. We have experienced so much and whether we've impacted one life or one hundred, we've at least seen what the people of Haiti live like on a daily basis and I know that I will never be the same. Please continue to pray for the people here, that lives would be changed for the better, that the newly established government does well by their people, and that Haiti would be a place of light and not of darkness any longer. - Melissa
