The guys also finished the new playground equipment and did a little repair work on the existing playground. The kids will get to try it all out for the first time tomorrow, and we’ll get to see them play before we head to the airport.

In the animated movie, Inside Out, human emotions were given human form to better understand them. Spending a week in Haiti, I always feel like I go through every emotion. Sad to see the poverty, happy to hand out food to the hungry, and angry to see the unfairness of the situation. My heart also feels like it’s turned inside out. I’m so homesick for my husband and my kids, but the thought of leaving tomorrow shreds me. Every time I leave Haiti, another piece of me stays here. Tonight the team shared some of their highs and lows from the week, the impact we had on Haiti, and how we were impacted. We appreciated getting to know our teammates better. Some expressed gratitude for experiencing the joy and beauty of the Haitian people. All were thankful for God’s blessings that we witnessed, and those we received. It’s very difficult to put it into words what we’ve seen and felt. But we’ll need to talk about it when we get home. If you’re interested, please ask. Grab a chair. It might take awhile.
