#30 of 365~Thinking of Haiti

For some reason Haiti has been on my mind.  Today especially.  I'm not really sure what triggered it, but my heart yearns to see the faces of those who made the Caribbean country feel like a second home.  I've thought a lot about my time there before Nick and them my time there with Nick.  That first trip is forever burned into my mind.  17 years old with a group of 5 adults over 40, traveling to the "poorest country in the Western hemisphere," without a friend or family member to help me process the fact that my life would forever be altered.  The fact the Haiti would burn a hole within my heart.

These pictures are just a few of my favorite memories. Working at an orphanage, visiting Sister Elsie's and seeing my friends, listening to the heartbreaking story of a 14 year old pregnant after being used in a tent camp after the earthquake, my dear friend and Haiti traveling companion Dr. Dada and our first trip friend Stephanie.

This picture is my all-time favorite of Nick and I visiting the same orphanage as the one above, seeing the same kiddos and have them sadly still there for us to remember, but loving on them together, and praying hope ver their little lives.
