Getting Ready for Haiti

It was 3 degrees Fahrenheit when I was driving to work a couple of days ago here in eastern Pennsylvania. The high temperature in Haiti today was 91 degrees Fahrenheit. Yes, I'm getting ready to enter a different climate and even more so, a different culture. In one month I'll be boarding a plane with seven others to travel to La Gonave, Haiti. If you'd like to read about my last trip to Haiti, check out this link: http://mentoringmoments.org/index.php?s=inside+another+culture

Here are a couple of sights from my last adventure in Haiti.

Two Haitian women were doing laundry by hand for about 40 children in an orphanage.



The Haitian children always came running whenever they spotted us with huge smiles and open arms.

I look forward to sharing Jesus' love and growing and learning through this experience. I'm sure that as in the last time, I'll gain much more than I give. If you ever have the chance to step inside another culture, I highly recommend it. You'll be surprised at what can happen, not just to you, but in you!
