Haiti 2010: "Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading." -Oswald Chambers

It is hard to believe that it is over. We are not even really sure how to end something like this. I suppose that is because an adventure like this never really ends. It will always be with us. We spent most of the first day we were home so torn. We tried to explain bitter/sweet to the Haitians before we left...it was really funny and not really effective. We know Haiti is just a stepping stone for us in what the Lord has. We are excited to see what is to come. Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement. This trip really would have been impossible without it. God is good and many times, writing this blog, I found myself saying the words of John, "Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written" -John 21:25. We cannot wait to see all of you and hear about your stories from the Summer. See you Wednesday.

All our love,

Brian & Lorey

Brian and Ken working on top of one of the shelters. We hiked out to where this shelter was in the mountains and hills and it was beautiful.

One day before we left we took a trip into Port-au-Prince and this was one of my favorite pictures. This is a huge pile of trash on the side of the road. The beach is directly behind it.

Me, Ken, Michille and Brian our last day of work.

Some of the Haitians came and said bye to Brian and me the night before we left. We all prayed in unison and it was beautiful hearing English and Creole all lifting up the name of Jesus. It was really sad to leave these guys.

This is the staff of the house. We were so sad to leave them...they quickly became our family. From bottom to top: Brian, Wes, Me, Christine and Johanna. Please continue to pray for them. Wes and Christine will be there for a year.
