I could not believe it was the last work day! Before going into the village to work, I went WAY up to the mountains to visit my sponsor child that I have through Mission of Hope.
The car ride up was an adventure to say the least. These mountains were steep man! To know that there are many people that walk up and down these mountains to get to their different destinations had me stunned.
We finally got up to my sponsor child’s school and I finally got to meet her! She is the cutest, sweetest, giving and protective little 5 year old! Seriously, if I could of adopted her I would of in a heartbeat. She didn’t have much but she shared her candy with me, wiped the dirt off of my hands, smiled a lot and tried to keep me to herself ( so many kids kept coming out and were latching on to me and following us so it was hard to be alone). I gave her pictures of me and my husband and she held them close to her and I gave her a decorative pin I had recently bought that could go on her dress. It was so good to see her in person and know that she was being taken care of.
After I said my good byes, we drove to the village so we could begin working again. Our team helped to rebuild a church that was knocked over during the earthquake and then we also played games with the children that were nearby as well. 
Exhaustion was starting to seep in ( my tired face) and I was thankful that this was the last day of work.
It was such rewarding work though to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of Haiti and help out where we could and to also bond as a team. It was simply amazing.
Team Devotions that night were great as always. Lots of laughs, love and reflection.
