It's been just about four days since we've been home from the trip and every once and awhile during class I'll think "What would we be doing at this time in Haiti?" My tan is vanishing much more quickly than preferred. I never thought I'd say this, but one of the things I miss the most is the Haitian heat! The last few days of the trip were relaxing from being at the beach and spending time reflecting on how we grew as a team. Our plane rides went fairly smoothly, although Nicole's suitcase got left in Miami (it was returned). If that was the least of our issues, then we were certainly blessed. During the past few days we've been asked by family and friends how our trip was. It's been fun sharing all the stories and looking back at the photos. It's hard returning to Canadian culture where everything is so civilized and fast paced. I think many of us are still trying to process everything that happened throughout the quick week. Please continue to pray for all of us that we might wrestle with what it looks like to continue serving at home. Among many things I've learned from the trip, one of the simplest but very important things has been how much that we have been truly blessed with. In Haiti it was so easy to count our blessings each day; for health, food, shade, rest, friends, Bibles, and clean water. These are things we tend to overlook on a daily basis! Although there is much poverty in Haiti, there is much work that needs to be done here in our country as well! I'm excited to see what lay in store for each one of us as we continue to seek God's will through our passions.
