I’ve had so much to say in the last couple days but never enough
time to put ‘pen to paper’ and let me tell you, that’s busy for me, I love writing.
I leave for Haiti tomorrow, and I am nervous and excited and
I cannot wait to hug muffins, hand out suckers, and just love people. I am looking forward to just soaking up the

He is.
Faithful.
I am.
Thankful.
