Good evening!

It is hard to believe that we woke to our last full day of serving in Haiti.  The past few days have been quite the experience.  

Friday afternoon was emotionally difficult as we visited the General Hospital.  If any of you have seen the movie The Impossible, the hospital conditions are about the same.  Considering we were able to walk in and the nurses were happy to let us hold babies that were laying in wood cribs and terminally sick gives you a sense of the need in this place.  Many of these babies have been abandoned and the parents who are there with children sleep under their cribs and have to bring in their own supplies.  We are so grateful that God led us in this path to the hospital to love on children who may never get that type of human touch again. 

Yesterday was spent at the beach with some of the local children that live near the Healing Haiti guest house.  What an experience.  Most of them have never been to the ocean let alone have the freedom to just swim and play.  They were given a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch and you could tell it was probably their best meal in a long time. 

We went to church at Grace Village now and spent the afternoon Shopping and driving to the top of the mountain for one of the most beautiful scenic views of Haiti. Tomorrow we will deliver the Feed My Starving children packets and then head to the airport.  We have included a picture of one of the boxes packed at Calvary this past year which we will personally hand out to the Tent City.  What a small world it really is!

Looking forward to seeing you all again and sharing our stories.  Prayers for safe travel is requested.
