Friday - March 11th --
Today I stayed at Heather's Home with the children while the rest of the team took a 12 hr. trip to visit the YWAM (youth with a mission) facility in Haiti.
I had a GREAT day just loving on all 10 children all by myself. We sang songs, I taught them "chubba" (for those of you who've never seen my "chubba" just ask the next time you see me), I painted their faces, we took pictures ...... it was a blast!! It made me miss Emily something fierce though. I was also able to rest and spend a lot of time with God today. I got ahead in my Old Testament Quest reading and just throughouly enjoyed my day "alone."

Today was a great "break" for all of us! We drove to a Haitian Beach Resort and spent the day relaxing in the sun, playing beach volleyball, scubba diving and (some of us) drinking non-alcoholic pina colada's!! =)
I got A LOT of souveniers this day ..... including 2 very large, gorgeous shells. My husband and I kinda of collect them ..... especially the big ones since some are worth a lot of money!!
The best part about today was watching the sunset over the ocean --- absolutely amazing!!
On our way back to Heather's Home we were driving by a huge mountain and all of a sudden we could see that the top of it was on fire! That was a gorgeous sight but also knowing that something was ON FIRE made it scary.
As soon as we got back to Heather's Home we were mobbed by the 10 beautiful brown-haired loves!!! =) That was always the best part about going anywhere ...... the coming home!!
