Love Is...

Judy and I both had very uneventful trips home on Tuesday…I know for certain the Haitian people have blessed me more than I can put into words. They taught me allot about Love and humanity!

Love is patient…our medical team witness truly sick patients (some with severe wounds) patiently wait up to 6 hours to see a Dr.

Love is kind…we showed up for church (in poorest city were most of the people don’t have clothing or shoes), they ran out of seats for us to sit down so the people went home (into their tin huts) and brought us more seats so we did not have to stand.

Love is not self-seeking…On several occasions during our trip we fed the hungry (most of which only get one meal a week) Almost every person we gave food too on the street’s shared it with those who did not get food

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth...many Haitians shared similar stories about the day after the earthquake. The Haitian President and thousands of people were in the streets PRAISING GOD! (NOT hating but Praising)

Love never fails!
I want to thank
· All the people in Haiti who welcomed us with open arms and treated us like royalty!
· All my team members for the great team effort,
· Judy and Amy for the wonderful Job you did coordinating and leading the teams!
· Pastor Rigual, the orphanage staff and the kids at the orphanage for your impeccable hospitality
o We found out on our last day some of the kids at the orphanage gave us there mattress’s to sleep on for the week and they slept on the concert and tile floor because they want us to be comfortable.
o We can all learn a lesson from them they have “nothing” in our standards but what “nothing” they have they are willing to give us to make us more comfortable!!! I can’t think of anything more loving then that!!!!

Last but not least I thank the Lord for this Divine appointment he had for us!
