A week in pictures.


Together in Haiti for the first of hopefully, many times!

Haiti is better with friends like her.

I spent Sunday with my friend Nadine and her sweet family.  Her little boys are just the sweetest!


And Silliest! :-)

Prestige.  Every. day.

Rosie girl.  She is so special.

Litte Nadia!

Rosie and Mejenge heading to school

The view from Coracess, a new preaching station for the Lutheran Church in Haiti.

A temporary building, but beautiful none-the-less.






I really enjoyed getting to know Jean better this trip!  He is super computer savvy and has the best smile!
I can't really explain the joy that is Roby.  He says we are friends who became family and it's so very true.


Earthquake memorial over a mass grave site.

Haunting.



Annie!!

Divine Kids!  So sweet!


Pinata time!

Filling rice and bean bags.



Lookout Point with a few of my favorite people!

Dear Pierre.

The view from Apparent Project.  My new favorite hangout in Haiti!

These are just everywhere!  I want them, but I can't keep plants live so I just took a pretty picture instead.

My momma

Nadia looked so cute this day1

Christine!

Lillivois


These two could not be any cuter!  The view from the top of an abandoned orphanage was stunning!

More of my favorite people

Pierre's dad's music school.


Croix des Bouquet metal market.  So amazing what they can do!


This little guy's toy was so creative!


More farkle.  Pay no attention to the man in the salmon colored tank ;-)

The Brad and Angelina of Haiti.  Ha!  Love these two!

The drive to Roby's was UP!

The view from his home site!


Lots and lots of cinder blocks were moved.  150, I believe!

Walls going up at Roby's

Lots of neighbor kids came out to watch a bunch of American's haul blocks and cement!

Roby's brother and cousin.  

"The Boys"

Leonard.  I have so much love and respect for this man.  He carries the weight of many heartaches and pain, but his love for Christ remains the most evident thing about him.

Pierre and Jean heading out!

I bought a lot of things this trip and this bag was the only thing that would hold my larger purchase!

Mejenge doing her English homework.  I only helped a little!

Beautiful girl!


Packed up and heading to the airport!

Haiti is always hard to leave.







We had what was suppose to be 9 hours in Miami and turned into 11, but we made the most of it!  Seafood and South Beach!  I don't know why I don't live by the ocean.

There are a thousand more pictures that were taken by the group, and a thousand stories that could be told.
