Home!!!!

Wow I made it. Words can not even express the emotions I feel. Yesterday was a very busy day. Lets start from the being! I woke up at 2:45 left the house at 3:30 to meet the team I was flying with in Estero. The group of us left at around 4:30 to begin our long and amazing trip to Haiti. We arrived at the Miami airport at 7:00 and everything went smoothly from there. We arrived in Haiti, went through customs, got all our luggage, and found Gary and Benson standing awaiting our arrival. It was an awesome feeling to see both of the familiar faces! Unfortunately it was raining and didn't really stop for a while so the RMI staff and I and our shoes were soaking wet!
From there we all had lunch and the Haitian Guys, Gary and I dropped them off at the small airport to fly to Les Cayes. There was another team coming in right after them so the RMI staff and I went back to pick them up. Everything seem to go well with their pick up except some customs issues but God pulled them through it. There was a small finder binder but it hurt their truck more then ours! Thanking the Lord we headed to dinner and to the Retreat Center where this team was going to work on Homes for Haiti.
The last truck arrived at the Retreat Center at around 9:15. We dropped off the team and ran off to "home" the Mission Center. Gary and I got home at 10:30.
So all in all the day was was good. It was amazing to see old friends and catch up. I loved seeing the country side and seeing the people!
Please pray for the RMI staff and I while we go out to the country with the Estero team. It's not far from the Mission Center, but it's still Haiti and something could go wrong. Pray that we reach people hearts for the Lord and open the peoples eyes to God glory and grace. Pray that I embrace everything around me and the people around me. Pray that God really works in the lives we touch.

Snorkeling!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! God out did Himself ! (If that is even possible!) My Dad and I went snorkeling yesterday and it was amazing! We saw lots of colorful fish and coral! We saw a pretty big grouper and plenty of Lobsters. It was amazing how God made it in a blink of an eye! It's so hard to even comprehend how He did it! It blows my mind that we can enjoy His creation like we did. I just wish I had my own boat so I didnt have to pay so much to enjoy it haha. ;) God is so great! and Amazing!!!! I see what He has made and just want to worship Him!!!
Well Dad is off to Haiti Friday morning! Keep him in your prayers!
Keep praying for me to be spiritually, physically, and mentally ready to go back!!!!!
Also keep praying for Haiti as a country and missionaries there!!!!!
Keep living wholy for Christ!

Mother's Day!!!

Wow!!! School is done Summer begins!!!!!!!!!!!

This past semester has gone by so quickly! I am officially a sophomore! I did really well on my finals by the Grace of God!
Man, I didn't think it was ever going to be this hard to say goodbye to my friends..... It wouldn't be so bad if I knew they were ALL coming back! But unfortunetly they ALL aren't or they aren't sure. Plus I've gotten so close with many of them it's just plain hard to say goodbye yes even for three months! By the Grace of GOd they are all in some way doing God's work, with maybe a youth group, on MISSIONS TRIPS to China! (two people) Peru (like 13 people) Brazil (one) Peragua (one) Japan (three or four) Haiti (two including myself) Dominican Republic (two or three) Praise God!!!!!!, and in many other ways!!! It's amazing to see God's Living Word and Majesty be spread around the world using poor very poor college students! I mean extremely poor college students lol. They may be poor but they are great goldy men and women of Christ! THey love the Lord so much! I give a shout out to my girl GINA! She is an insperation to me!
I am praying for all of these people and more. I am praying for the people that are going to be transformed and conformed to God and His holiness! I am praying also for myself to be transformed and conformed to Him and His holiness as well! I pray for the poeple being impacted by the missions trips and the poeple involved with God's Kingdom to see God's amazing and bountiful LOVE! I pray for God to open the saved and unsaved eyes to see the TRUTH!
My summer looks like this : I go home tomorrow, there for a week then go on vaction
then come back and head to Haiti for five weeks, fly to South Carolina, drive down home, drive up to tampa, live there for a month, go back to school AUgest 15! School starts up!

I can't wait to see the change the summer has brought in everyone especially in myself. I really hope that everyone reading my blog will also pray for the things I mentioned! I love you all but I got to go finish packing!
Yours Truly,
D
P.S. If you have any questions ask away!
