I can't believe that today we are headed home, although it was an amazing experience...it is time! I can't wait to see,hear, smell, taste & touch my" home" with my re-newed senses.


Yesterday several of us went to morning Mass at the Missionary Church. Though we didn't understand the launguage, it's the same Mass....Music...Word...Eucharist...but it was simply more, like everything in Haiti. It was fun to hear the spirited songs & see everyone dressed in their Sunday best (their whites even brighter than their smiles!) and feel the Love radiate from the Priest who walked among the people during his homily.


After church we spent a long day at Guilliam's Orphanage, which will also be moving to Grace Village. Again such loving children. We enjoyed a sticky, colorful day of tye-dyeingt-shirts, jewelry making, coloring, tattoos & ballgames. All this activity going on while Dr. Sem worked tirelessly.


Back at the house we prepared a birthday celebration for Jean(our Haiti house mission director)complete with all his favorite foods...french fries,chicken, goat, & lots of vegetables & rice along with Birthday cakes & champagne! Several of his neighborhood friends joined our celebration. After they left we went out to experience Jean's favorite activity.... Salsa Dancing.... with our team of 12 women!


My word of the day(s) was "FEEL" because when you come to Haiti you have to .....

Forget Every Expectation Let-go Live & Love the experience.



I can't wait to see you all!
