It's safe to say that I have allowed too much time to pass since my last blog post and for that I apologize. I have spent the last 2 weeks in Haiti, flew to LA and less than 24 hours later flew to Kansas. Needless to say I don't care to see another airplane for quite some time! As per usual, I have downloaded my Haiti photos and am attaching some of my favorites here. Amonese taking a break from cooking in the Haitian kitchen. After praying for Tahl, I asked her if I could take her picture, she nodded and then lowered her face and placed her hand on her chest. Such a tender moment. Gibson standing outside of his house when we came to bring his family beans and rice. Momma holding baby while watching a basketball game. (I have a couple other views of this picture and had troubles deciding which to post here, so you may be seeing those later). This baby is the snuggliest, most mild tempered baby I have ever had the pleasure of holding. Plus she was mean ...

I'm back from probably my favorite Haiti trip I have been on, to date. We had a smaller team which made for a more intimate trip, we went for a shorter time which caused us to really make every second count, the weather was more mild and less intense, and I didn't get sick or have diarrhea "stomach issues" at all! And those are just some of the smaller tangible things. Our voyage from the plane, according to my phone. We played games, soccer, and BINGO. We held babies, sang songs, and spent much valued time with our dear friends. We held services, distributed food and clothes. I was also able to spend a good deal of time with the ladies in the Haitian kitchen. This year there was a different boss of the kitchen, and she gave me more tasks, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was also afforded more taste tests this year. I have several stories to tell you. If you would like to hear them just let me know...but in the mean time here are some of my favorite pictures ...

I know I know you are probably diasppointed because this isn't another glorious guest post. Alas you are stuck with me for now. But let's give it up for Jason! I love how he tied it into the human condition at its purest form. It got me all thinking about my dreams and what they mean for me as a person. Such vivid imagery. And really relatable. Good stuff! I contemplated never writing on here again because yet again, I cannot compete with such genius. Though I leave for Haiti today and I thought I would give you a quick update and a say farewell for a while. I am packed and ready to go, I just need to shower and throw an extra set of clothes in my carry-on! Woot woot! This trip in particular really snuck up on me. I think its because I've been going full-steam ahead since before school ended. I've had friends and family visit, made all the promotional items for next year, and worked on an array of different projects (as I previously mentioned). Just this la...
