So in 4 days I will fly out and meet the 5 other disaster team members in Miami and we will all fly into PAP (Port Au Prince) Haiti together for 3 weeks. I am anxious to see all of the Clinic of Hope staff, Pastor Delamy, and even hopefully those we saw in June, like perhaps our little burn girl Mercile, but I'm very sad at the reason we have to go. I'm probably more nervous at being away from my husband and 2 kids for 3 weeks. This will be the longest I've been gone and it will be hardest on me I'm sure. My 8 yr old told me, "Momma we will be fine, those people need you guys. Please help them." It brought tears to my eyes cause not everyone has been supportive, and although I don't understand, I keep telling myself, That is ok.
I have to pack a carry on bag. That is all I can take my personal stuff in. UGH!! Linda, our team coordinator is having me take a box of team food as we have to haul all our team food in with us... Cheap, easy to fix and inexpensive. We will be living off instant oatmeal, granola bars and pb&j's.
My prayer is that the Lord will be our hands and feet this entire mission. I will try and keep everyone posted while I'm gone. Unsure if I'll have internet access at all.
Many Blessings,
~M
