thanksgiving in Haiti...

Lindsey and I decided to go on a mission trip
to Haiti over Thanksgiving. We got our shots,
we packed our bags and headed off with 6 other
teachers from Midlothian. It was an awesome
experience. I really did miss Alex and Brady
so much, but it was life changing!!
We worked with the 165 teachers of the New
Missions in Haiti at a teacher's conference. We
did rice feedings in the villages. We played with
the kids. It was worth it all. We don't realize
how fortunate we are.















RECESS in Haiti!! (kids love to play anywhere!)
















We played with the kids!

the rice feedings

3 cans of rice will feed a family for

about a week.

bagging rice is hard, hard work!

we prayed over each person that received rice

But look who gets the rice!!
























so happy!
