Left Behind

Everyone that came with me on the mission trip went home today. My boss, Pastor Todd is still here but he was gone all day doing business in Port Au Prince. I thought it would be strange to be left behind. I set on a bench surrounded by my new Haitian family waving goodbye, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. I'm not ready to leave yet. Even though it is hard saying goodbye to so many great people I know I'm where I belong. This is the home God has prepared for me. There is so much to do and see and learn here. Each day is exciting and challenging. People keep telling me God will bless me for my sacrifice, but I'm already blessed. As far as I can tell, I haven't given up anything that God hasn't given me back double. Tomorrow I begin teaching English. It will be an open class for the people of this village until school starts. Everyone is excited. I think many will come. I am so blessed to be given this chance to teach these wonderful people!
