Since we’ve arrived here in Haiti, it’s been such an incredible experience and I’ve appreciated everything so much! Right away things are very different. Our leaders told us about the community here, and I greatly underestimated it. Getting so many hugs from so many strangers who are genuinely happy to see you is something I will never forget. I really enjoyed the church service on Sunday and being able to see how the churches are. Everyone is so passionate, and even though I didn’t understand almost all of the service, it was really great to be a part of. Singing, dancing, and praying are a great way to break the language barrier. As soon as we got here, I realized how beautiful the land is. Seeing the clear waters and the rolling hills, it truly is a beautiful country. Another thing I quickly realized is how great the people are. I was not really looking forward to having the 12-15 year old kids because it’s a tough age to work with, but I’m so glad to have them. The kids (of all ages) are really great. They’re kind, happy, and fun to be around. The people are all so caring and hard working. I know it’s going to be quite a shock going home and getting weird looks trying to talk to and hug strangers. Through everything I’m so happy and blessed to be here and it is something I won’t forget anytime soon.
