Haiti is cool beans

"It's always darkest before the dawn." - Florence and the Machine, Shake It Out 

For me, these lyrics represent the dark times that this nation of Haiti has been through. They also remind me that the dawn of Haiti is in motion now. It is clear that the Mission of Hope is doing wonders down here and that God is ready to be heard. 

On Thrusday, we headed to Simonette. This village is where one of our translators, Kensley, comes from. Kensley took us around to pray for a some of his family members. After praying for some people, he took us to his father's house to show us. His father has recently passed away and left behind an unfinished house. Kensley told us he wanted to finish building the house and start an orphanage. He said he wanted to start an orphanage because he wanted to help people who have less than him. Then we proceeded inside the house to pray for him and what he wants accomplished. This was a very meaningful time for a lot of us. I could see so much passion and determination from a Haitian man who has a deep love for God. 

Shout of to all of my family. Love you guys.
