How we feel we need them and can't live without them. When none of it is ours and we can't take it with us when we die. Thats one of the things I appreciated when I was in Haiti, the Haitians didn't care about luxuries. I think thats why I struggled alot because they cared more about relationships.(something I never really cared about)They taught me alot about being around one another and worshiping God. And the same goes for you and Kelly. Your love not just for everyone here but also the Haitans is amazing. So keep your head up and remember everytime you try to do something for God the devil will try to bring you down. But God is at work so satan can try all he wants, God always prevails. so bye for now I love you guys and can't wait to see you soon. I will be praying!

This includes your blood,sweat,tears and your hearts all in the name of the Lord. I would think back to when you first started going and how far you have come now WOW. SO take care of yourselves, too -that's too much if you can't even turn a bottle cap! Looks like more heavy duty praying for you guys. Just do your best and the Lord will do the rest......JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647193623981061693.post-57250727557769305832012-02-28T21:23:17.217-05:002012-02-28T21:23:17.217-05:00Krystle Beth & Kelly-What profound & inspi...Krystle Beth & Kelly-What profound & inspiring words-your last post! -can relate to it, you know. The 1st time there -on the Island of La Gonave-after my 10 days were up & so much had happened-it was time to go home to US. The missionary girls who were going to take me by boat back to Port & I were close to climbing into the boat. One girl I'd met during our time there -Enreylian-it was like our spirits just blended until I felt like she was truly my sister. We kept waiting for different ones to come to bid us goodbye. Many were there, & finally with anxiety I asked the girls, "Where is Enreylian, I wonder?" Oh, they replied, she won't be here---When it's someone who loves you so dearly they feel so bad they just can't come up with the courage to say goodbye. My heart was broken tho' I tried to understand. Later from Port Margot in the North-being with Dr. & Mrs. Edling, seeing the hospital work, visiting the sick & dreadfully malnourished in their homes in the mountains-I felt I would gladly stay forever there if only to do dishes or whatever menial tasks I could help with. I've never gotten over the love of & for the Haitian people since in my early 20's. So my heart beats with your hearts. And I think Jesus knows & feels all we do -only better & more. You are very courageous kids-& loved far more than you'll ever know. Praying for you thruout the days & nights as you come to our minds-which is often. Blizzard moving in tonight it looks like-a real one! Sleep tight-may angels strengthen you & the Lord will meet your every need. Today G. & I went to the Y-then I -for a long walk in the brisk, cold wind & tho't of how hot you were. Hugs for both.

I think you and Kelly are real troopers! I haven't been down there yet, but I can imagine the struggles. God will give you two the strength, courage, and energy to accomplish what He has planned for you to get done, don't be yourselves up if you don't get everything done, that you wanted done. Think about it, you have already accomplished so much! We are all so very proud of you and your brother. Think how much better your perspective of Haiti will be when you get back home and reach out for support for them back in Haiti. Stay encouraged, we love you and miss you very much, God bless!Jake Tnoreply@blogger.com
