Hi fam! Today was our last ministry day, which included 3 water truck stops. It was a lot of work and I was exhausted but God reminded me that I have to keep going and keep serving these people. Tomorrow we have church and a beach day which I'm excited for! Can't wait to see you guys soon!

Today was my favorite day here so far. We spent the day providing much needed water to the people of Cite Soleil. I met a boy a little older than me and we had the most meaningful conversation I have ever had with a Haitian so far. He had eight siblings and said he was fortunate to have both of his parents. He said that one day he'll come to Minnesota, he wanted to meet my brother and sister. He then asked me when I'd come back, I told him January. We visited fleri farm witch was an amazing place in the middle of the community that needed it the most. I feel a lot of hope for healing Haiti and City Soleil after we left. I know God has great things for fleri, but there is still much work to be done. Tomorrow we go to church and the beach,

Hey Mom and Dad, I've been having a fantastic time in Haiti. Some of the things that I thought I would be uncomfortable about have actually helped me step out of my comfort zone. I am having such a great time with my team and we have helped so many people. It has been awesome seeing God transform everyone including me. I have had lots of down time to reflect on my day and relax. I love you guys so much, and I can't wait to see you soon

PS: Didn't forget about you Kate. Love you too, and I hope all is well.


Haiti is amazing, having a blast! -Izzy
