Friday

Today was very good.

This morning we got up and went to a hospital in Cai-Jacmel to pray for people. Turns out when we got there, there were only 6 people still injured from the earth quake, which is great, so we talked and prayed with the people there. I talked to a woman who I think her name was Regina. She had injured her leg and it looked infected. In the middle of our conversation she got a phone call where she proceeded to start crying intensely. After her call we asked her why she was crying and turns out that all her family has to work tonight so there will be nobody to keep her company this evening. As sad as it made me, I was extremely glad we made the trek out there and talked with her for a little bit :)

After that we walked around and met this old, blanc man named Jim. He has been in Haiti for 28 years. He talked to us and apparently we opened the floodgates and he began to pour wisdom into us! I'll tell you something-I've never felt so much true passion in an individual firsthand! This man has truly had potential to change my life. He would assure us that he is only a man who God has blessed to serve Haitian people. He began a school over 10 years ago and this September will have nearly 400 kids kindergarten through 10th grade. Jim will be in my thoughts forever.

Tonight I got to drive with David along the beach where we thought we were gonna get mugged by a bunch of Haitians...Turns out they were just SOO excited to see us that they looked cannibalistic, haha! It was very refreshing for my last night in Jacmel. Tomorrow we will be heading to Port Au Prince for my last two days. Its gonna be great!

Love you all!
