A little piece of Haiti HEART.

You may be wondering what outreach is, well let me tell you.
Its a mixture of not showering, walking to get water, and hand washing your clothes.
add some beans and rice, rice and beans and beans and rice.
now, slowly realize that being on time, is a western idea, and simply irrelevant
and yes, your sweat pant shorts and t-shirts are a fashion statement
so force yourself out of your comfort zone
and prepare to be broken, and broken, and broken again
share everything and anything from toothbrushes, to drinks, to snacks, to thoughts and emotions
you'll understand the concept that personal space is a luxury
don't pet the animals
don't pet the animals
okay fine you can pet the cute ones
appreciate everything about where you are not and where you are
don't forget entertaining yourselves with old music, home made nature shows, dancing and a little game we like to call: If we were in Kona right now..
now just roll with it; sitting on cars, hiking up mountains, and eating large amounts of bread
if you expected to look good and clean all the time, just don't even bother with the mirror
starting to get the picture?
well, at least you'll be able to say things like ;
these are the times that we look back on and say, honestly what were we thinking?
and
yes we did just birth a baby
so pack up and move, and move again
learn to be flexible and take many naps
why not sew your own skirt
and just spend the extra money on that not so good american burger
learn to love the things you never thought you would
there are reasons why we are here, and not at our jobs and homes
or possibly
we are crazy to do this.
oh well
lets do it again.
