Thankful

From the wild truck rides in the pouring rain, to hiking miles and through rivers to get to our sites and even having a minor case of cellulitis from spider bites, I couldn't be more thankful for my experience in Haiti. I would be lying if I said I didn't have my doubts about this trip. I didn't know what to expect, and was apprehensive about the adventure ahead. And even while being there, I had moments of frustration, helplessness, humility and deep sadness. But I never doubted that this was where I was suppose to be. So much of my travels in the past have felt self-fulling, and to be able to go abroad with a purpose and give of myself was such a blessing. I couldn't help but fall in love with the Haitian people and they are the perfect picture of perseverance. I will always treasure my time there and now know this is only the start to my involvement with medical missions!
