Wow! How Great is out God!! Today we drove through the prairie, which I can never remember driving through before (even though I have:). It is a lot different than at home, the amount of trees and how far you could see was amazing!! As we where driving started thinking about how great God must be, to have created such beautiful things!! I took pictures and will post them when I get them uploaded.
I am staying at my aunt's house with my family and cousin's, but my dad didn't get to come:(we miss you Dad). I will continue posting throughout the week.

Busy, Summer, School???
Well, I can't believe school starts a month from yesterday! How sad!!! We still have 2 trips to go on. We are going to my aunt's in 2 weeks and in about 6 weeks we are going to go to Washington D.C. Which, I am very excited about. In the last two weeks I have managed to re-injure my leg 2x, babysit 2x, go to the movies, hangout with a friend, start an amazing Bible study with a friend, See some visiting friends, go shopping, get deals on a bunch of stuff (while shopping), paint my furniture, get a cell phone, go on a walk(a very nice one), play at the park, learn to text,re-do my room, take pictures, go to the pool, work on my tan, watch T.v., and play on the computer, and hangout with a friend that came from China!

Questions about Haiti
Things I want to know about Haiti...(asked by a friend)
1) What surprised you most or what was something very different than you expected?
How in a country that has publicly chosen to follow Satan instead of God, God could be so obvious
2) What is your best 'first memory' being with your brothers?
Sitting at the Orphanage and blowing bubbles after having just meet them
3) What was the weirdest thing you ate?
Hmm, That is a hard one!I wouldn't say we ate anything weired, just different. We ate a lot of different food my favorite was most likely the goat, the most unusual was probably the fish sauce on the rice and beans or Hot dog spaghetti( which where both really good. I liked everything I ate)
4) Is there anything in the states that seemed 'normal' before Haiti that now seems weird or hard? If so, what?
Yyes, The way we pray(difference in meaning), What we eat(they eat a lot of starch and not much sweet)
5) What did you learn about God because of this trip?
That He does actually provide for our needs
6) How are you living differently now because of this trip?
Trying not to take things for granted,praying more
7) While you were in Haiti, what caused you to stretch out of your comfort zone the most?
Going to pass out flip flops without my mom, there was a whole group that went and I stayed with the group leader it was just hard with out my mom
8) Was there a Bible verse that really stuck out to you while on the trip? What was it and why?
Psalm 33 specifically verse 12- "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,the people He chose for His inheritance." This verse,specifically the first part stood out to me because I was in a country without God and yet there was so much evidence of him in some of the people.
9) You talk about your heart being there while you are back in the USA. How are you responding to that feeling?
Well that has been what I have been praying about, I have been seriously thinking about sending money to the Orphanage, but I don't have a source of income and can't get one for 6 months or so. So for now I am just praying fervently about my future and Following God's plans. Also, I have started getting involved around here with the needy, specifically the women's pregnancy center. I go once a week and help inventory and sort donations, so I think this is where God has me for now.
10) What do you miss most about Haiti besides your brothers?
Well my brother's the most, but that apparently doesn't count, so I guess I would have to say the kids at the orphanage and the people, specifically the kind hearts of the people at the hotel and the people in charge at the orphanage. I really want to go back to Haiti, but that is up to God not me.
I hope that helps if anyone else has questions feel free to ask. I noticed one of the people I watch there blog just got back from Haiti Check out her Pictures at http://striving2bme.blogspot.com/.
The other news is that we got out of one of the offices!! Check my mom's blog out about it for the news and pictures of the boys!!After we get out of this next step they are legally ours!! Yeah! They might be home by Christmas! http://theboysadoption.blogspot.com/
