If I never say it again aside from right now, I have to say, I love my family. We've been here in Port au Prince for two full days working in the daytime holding medical clinics in the middle of tent cities, and this afternoon distributed rice to over 200 families. Awe. That's the word. Awe. I never imagined a place like this, where people live in conditions most of us wouldn't wish on our worst enemy. But like Brian told us on the first night, this is the way people here in Haiti live. A disaster happens and the pick up and move on. Unfortunately, the news we see on tv shows the bad stuff from the disaster and not the "bad" stuff that goes on EVERYDAY. The scene is so overwhelming that it seems at times like we've come in vain....how can we ever help these people? Well, we can only do so much, but we can help a few. That has to be enough to encourage change in the future, even if in the slightest. I was worried coming into this that I didn't have a big bag of supplies to contribute like the rest of the team, but Aaron reassured me that it was ok.....God would provide. We have food and water, companionship of friends, time and energy(some) to take care of people in need, and the protection of an awesome God.
