somtimes i woner if there is any point in this blog. i'm pretty sure that no one reads it that often, and when i really want to write stuff down in it i never have the time. also i had this fantastic idea that i would journal while i was in haiti and then transfer what i had written into my blog... didn't happen. i wrote one then got bored and went away.
Haiti isn't somthing that i can talk to people about really. more often then not they don't get it. for example, when we got into port-au-prince this year it was dark out. And the city is very flat, not a lot of really tall buildings, but is incredibly sprawling. and it sort of has climbed up out of hte coastal flats onto the nearest mountains. so when we Got into the truck and were driving to the mission house, you seriously could barely tell where the mountains stopped and the stars began.
right now your thinking, "wow thats cool, kinda neat, sounds a lot like all those other missions trip stories i've heard." But for me in was incredible. absolutly awe inspiring and in that moment i felt so connected to God, my team, and the country i came to serve i almost felt like crying.
but no one i ever tell that story to will ever understand that. no matter how well i tell the stories and relate my experiences, no one will really be able to say, " i get what you mean, like i totaly understand."
which is sad. so i'm sorry if you ask me about the trip and all i say is, "it was good. it was fun." but you cannot understand just how it feels for me to be in haiti. i feel much more at home there than i do here, at my real home.
anyways the bell is about to ring. (i'm blogging at school again = ])

It's true that people don't get it - they never will know the feelings that you have. They're not you! That's why we need you to tell us! :)
ps, I read your blog! Hehe.
