I couldn't figure out why God was sending me to Haiti because I knew everything about it would be totally out of my comfort zone. I'm a self professed germaphobe, super hygenic, somewhat of a picky eater, and I have fear of public speaking.

But once in Haiti, I finally turned over all of my fears to God, allowing me to focus on sharing God's love with the Haitian people. I learned so much about trusting in the Lord. I was reminded to fully rely on Him because He loves us and is always with us.

The children of Haiti are precious gifts from God. Their compassion for each other and the love they shared with us was astounding.Their smiles are contagious.
