When we came to Haiti two years ago, I didn't think that we would be coming back, at least not in the near future. Then when the earthquake happened, and Dad told us that he felt like the Lord was calling us back to Haiti I didn't know what to do. I'd never planned on living in Haiti, and I never wanted to.I didn't want to leave family and friends.
But as time went on I realized that I wasn't going to have a choice. So at that time I made up my mind that I was going to look at Haiti as an adventure, and it has indeed been an adventure!
Now as most of you know Jeremy, Josh, Alayna, and I are busy taking care of four handicapped children. I admit it hasn't been easy, trying to take care of the children and do school. But God is good and has brought us through day by day.
Serving Him in Haiti, JoHannah
