Love you guys so much! Today we visited some of the elders in Titanye. We were able to wash their feet, sing, and pray with them. Those moments were very real; I clearly felt Jesus's love and understood what he did for his people.  
Thanks Mom and dad. Love Jacob 

Hi mom! 
Haiti has been sooooo fun! I love getting to know different people on the team and the wonderful leaders we have. I have found out that wearing my hair in anything other than braids is a massive mistake because the kids find it SOOOOO entertaining to be my personal hair stylist. I miss you so much! Message for dad- Hello!  can I please have some steak when I come home? 
See you soon

Hello fellow families, 
I have had such an amazing time in Haiti the past few days! I love love love being with all the kids in Cité Soleil and at all the orphanages. It has given me so much joy to see all the Haitian people loving on our team while we were the ones who came to love on them. Yesterday at Sakala so many kids wanted me to hold them so I told them to sit and we played a hand clapping game. The game was completely unfair and somehow they made me win and they all piled on top of me and screamed to celebrate me! It was such a precious moment that I will never forget. -Aiydan


Mom, my shoulders got sunburnt today. -Raegan 


Hello all! 
My third time in Haiti has been the best yet. The students on this team are absolutely amazing, and have a special place in my heart. I have met so many loving Haitians, who have taught me more than they will ever know. God has allowed me to step back and watch him move through all the students on this trip. Watching most of them experience Haiti for the first time has been so cool to see them grow. The amount of love pouring from their hearts is amazing. I was blessed to join the team late, and can say God put me here for a reason. This week has been amazing, and I am sad it is coming to an end.

Hey guys, day 5 was a great experience. We got to meet some pretty cool elders and I painted their toe and finger nails. It was very hot but a very fun day. I got to see and meet and dance with more kids today and it filled my heart with joy. I love and miss you guys.
