I just got my passport in the mail today and I'm as excited as a kid on Christmas! I am the last one of our group that is going to Haiti to get theirs (I'm always last). Of course my picture looks horrendous! I leave for Haiti on January 7, 2013 and I'll be back the 17th. We will be staying in Cap Haitian, and helping missionaries who live there. (you can check out their blogs on my blog list <---) I have been on several short term mission trips and I have been out of the country several time, but never both of them together! I really wish Matt was going with me, but he is not. He is not much of a traveler, but that is not the actual reason he is not going. He is wanting to go to seminary, and we are trying to save money for me to go to Haiti and him to go to seminary, and saving for both of us to go and seminary just is not in the cards for us!
Growing up, out of the country missions wasn't something that my home church focused on, yes he helped build a church in Belize, but just our preacher went. Now that I am older and have gone to Bible college my heart for missions has really grown! I have three friends who lived in Mexico for awhile and pretty much speak fluent Spanish, and one of those friends just got back from a three week trip to Sierra Leone, Africa. Just being around them, and the friends from school who want to be full time missionaries has really changed my life.
I cannot wait to go, and just experience the greatness that God is doing there through the missionaries. I know that when I get home my life will never be the same and I am 100% okay with that!!
Until next time...Matthew 28:19-20
This is a video of my favorite artist, that he filmed while he and his wife were in Haiti!
