Well this is going to be an early post. Who would have ever thought I would have a second alone in Haiti? Well at this very moment I am sitting on the roof at the guest house soaking up some sun and feeling the breeze all by myself. I have no idea where the closest American is and no I'm not scared. And don't freak out. I was supposed to be left behind. My second round of Americans will be here in about 2 hours.
This morning we spent some more time at Mother Teresa's children's hospital and then everyone packed up. We just all said our goodbyes and gave hugs. I gave exactly 9 hugs. There were 10 of us together. I'm happy that I get to stay longer and work with Jen. I know I am going to love every minute of it. But I also want to travel home with my girls and my family. And I want to go to Chili's with them at the airport in Florida. And I want pasta. So it was sad to see them leave but it was also a great feeling to be privileged and honored to get to stay behind to do more work here. I felt Haitian staying behind. And now I saw a glimpse of the future I have. One where I get to stay and serve the people I love.
I'm happy to be here four more days!!
Happy fourth of July everyone! Enjoy! I'll see you soon 'Merica.
Love has no borders,

Starting from 10th grade when I first traveled to Costa Rica I knew I wanted to spend my life traveling and mentoring students. I had no idea what that would look like or that I would end up in Costa Rica. Then not only am I working at GAP, but, I am also continuing to work for Lancaster Bible College as their International Admissions Counselor. God has been so generous. Our Leadership Team GAP Students 2018-2019 Pictured above is this year's GAP class. The students have been here for three weeks. In those three weeks they have begun...
