Today is our last day after five HOT, not to long, days of VBS. I had just about the same 3-4 girls all over me the entire time. My attempt at jumprope was less than stellar but I was entertaining for those girls. My hair continues to be an attraction for the little kids. Today I got quite the make over in the form of a giant ponytail on the SIDE of my head! The craft was a photo of their group and they looked really hard to find themselves in the picture. They were quite excited when they finally found their image.
I would say that when we first got here I was shocked. Real life was so '3D' as opposed to watching it on a video. The smells, sounds, sights, people looking at us finally made Haiti real to me. The water continues to be a daily reminder. To think of water as dangerous is so foreign to me. Using bottled water for EVERYTHING makes me think about those in this country who don't have that opportunity.
Now that my experience is coming to end I feel that this time will help me be more generous. Knowing that I am truly blessed will hopefully allow me to give more freely. I also want to have better 'help-vision' to those around me and to look for the little things that will love people. This excites me to put into practice daily these changes in my life.
Shout out to my friends (Claudia, Matthew, Kati), the Hothem House and Mr. Patch (still no love for Lucy)
