returning to Haiti

Five days ago, I booked my flight; I will be leading a medical team down to Three Angels on Saturday. I am very thankful for this opportunity to travel to Haiti. I look forward to the work that God has planned for this team. This team was formed prior to January 12. It seems this team of 10 are doctors, nurses, lab technicians, and other volunteers who have never been to Haiti. I have been to Haiti 8 times, but this will be a different Haiti. Haiti can be an emotionally hard place to visit; I'm sure I will feel the depth of pain even deeper. I do pray that God breaks my heart for this country and that I never become immune to their pain. I also look forward to spending time with Nicky. Mike took this photo of Nicky in January.
A photo Mike took of the devastation. I do not know where this building is located; somewhere on Delmas judging from the letters on the wall. I can only imagine what my eyes will see.
These are some of the cracks in the structure of the orphanage. Behind this crack is where the older children slept and played. Praise God that it didn't collapse.

Behind this wall is where the guest staff room is located. It where Kaitlyn slept for the three months she was in Haiti. The specific cracks are attached to the newly installed bathroom.
Mike and Nicky. Sometimes I cannot believe how brave Mike was to travel to Haiti with not much of a plan. I am looking forward to giving Nicky a HUG when I see him on Saturday.
