Hey Everyone!
I am currently still in the US, galavanting over the great state of Virginia collecting medicines and donations for the orphanage I'll be serving in Haiti. I'll be flying out of Dulles airport at 7:45am tomorrow and arriving in Haiti around 6-7pm. I'll be staying at Vilaj Espwa (http://www.freethekids.org/) working in the medical clinic there and leading a girls discussion group around sexual health and safe relationships (yes, in Haitian-Creole). I return to Reagan National at 11:45pm on September 2.
Please pray for safe travel and for provision when I go through customs in Haiti. Please also pray that my efforts are useful and that my prescence can ease some of the burden weighing down on the orphanage staff post-earthquake. Please pray for me to have a supernatural sense of flexibility and willingness to step outside my comfort zone. And most of all, please pray that I listen to that still, small voice.
At this point, I'm nervous and excited but the biggest feeling I have is an overwhelming sense of gratitude.
Gratitude to a bit of divine grace that allowed a safe and trouble-free move from Boston to Virginia.
Gratitude to friends and family who have given more of themselves, their resources, and their love than I thought imaginable.
And gratitude for this incredible opportunity to do a small amount of good in a place that desperately needs it.
Love,
Jenny
