Hello everyone! Haiti is still recovering from the hurricanes. People are still trying to pick up the pieces from Hurricane Hanna and we saw a lot more of the destruction this week. On Thursday, we drove to a town about an hour away that was hit especially hard. We saw a lot of destruction and the nurse with me saw a dead child in the street. It was the picture that she took that I will never forget. Absolute hell.
Last Sunday, I went to meet some missionaries that have a home on the ocean. It was surprising to find another buckeye living and working with them right now. His name is Matt Ruple and he graduated from Toledo Christian School and U of Cincy. It's been good getting to know him better since we met. A blessing for sure.
I love all the kids here, but Wesh and Jessica are my kids here. We talk, hug extra tight, love each other and tell each other often. Cool story - they don't get much for their birthdays, other than a speech and song at breakfast and notes/cards. Anyways, it meant the world to me earlier this week when Jessica asked me to speak on her birthday this year. Her birthday is in April. How sweet is she?
I was hoping to post some pictures this week, but the connection isn't allowing it. Sorry! Love to all there.
P.S. Got my flights home for Christmas. I will be home December 10 - January 3. See you then!
