We're coming home!

We can hardly believe our time in Haiti is nearing and end.  We have to leave for the airport at 5:30 tomorrow (ahem, 3:30 Pacific time!), but we wanted to write a short note to you before we leave.  A lot has happened today; attending the orphanage church service, touring the aftermath of the earthquake, saying goodbye to the kids -there is a lot to process. 

The Presidential Palace, completely destroyed by the earthquake.

It looks the same as if the earthquake happened yesterday.

 
We've been exposed to so many things that we weren't exposed to before - things that are making us think deeply, and pray. 

The churches here don't see a need to help because kids on the streets are "normal" for them.
One of the many vast tent villages, where people are still living after their houses were destroyed in the earthquake.


But we are not in despair because the kids at this orphanage are a BRIGHT LIGHT here in Haiti, and we know there is hope for the future of this country. 





We are weary, emotionally and physically, but are very excited to see our families tomorrow.  We too are excited to share with all of you in more detail (and in person!) our experiences someday very soon.  Thank you for praying for us and we cannot wait to see you!

Love,
The Team
