So I am heading back to Haiti on Monday. I have to stay overnight in the Ft. Lauderdale airport, so I will arrive in Port au Prince around 7:45 am on Tuesday. I am going back to work with YWAM. So I will be working with most of the same people I worked with this summer. I currently have an open-ended commitment with them. I am really sad to be leaving my family and friends! It has been really great to get to see all the people I’ve seen, and wish I could have seen more. Hopefully next time I’m home!
I am pretty excited to get back to Haiti. Not many people can say they are excited to go live in a fourth-world country, so I guess that is a gift from God! =]
Since I have been home, I have shared with a lot of people what God is calling me to do. I have been blessed enough to have people commit to sending about 2/3 of my monthly goal. Thank you so much if you are one of those wonderful people!!! If you are not one of those people, I still love you! I would ask you to please pray for me as I go back though.
I am going to try to be better at updating my blog. =] I am also planning on sending out a monthly update by email. If you have not been receiving emails from and would like to, please email me at ducktape04@gmail.com and let me know. You can also join my Facebook group called I want to be a World Changer for other random updates.
I got some magnets made (courtesy of Kalos, Inc) with my picture and info on them, if you have not received one, but would like one, please email me and I’ll get one to you.
A lot of people have asked me about the cholera epidemic going on in Haiti, so I will give you some information about that. I have emailed people at my base and they are being very careful about keeping everyone and everything sanitized. There have only been like 5 cases in Port au Prince, and it was determined that they had been infected in the area where there was already an outbreak. I checked on the CDC’s website and they don’t recommend the vaccination that you can only order from Vietnam. So I will not be getting that!
We are going to Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic on November 6 for the YWAM Caribbean conference. I am really excited because I haven’t been to the Dominican Republic yet and I’ve heard this conference is A-MAZ-ING!! I’m excited to learn and grow there and meet other YWAM people.
I welcome emails! People have asked about sending letters, but I’m not sure if we’re set up for that yet in Port au Prince. But I’ll find out after I get there.
If I don’t see you before I leave, I love you!!
