Hey Everyone this is Nick J, I had to state that because there are two Nicks here! Haiti is amazing! Seriously we are so blessed to be in a such a beautiful place and have such wonderful people serving us. So much has happened so far but i'm saving most of it for my return but today we visited the orphanage and it was so amazing to see these kids run up and hug us we spent the day doing vbs i was moses. These kids sang a song about their soul and it was so touching I love these kids! Well Mom I havent contacted you yet but as you see I am safe, I did get schooled in soccer today and burnt my feet! But I'm having so much fun and I'm seeing God in everything around me. I wish y'all were here. Dad I love you and I miss you I'm bringing back stuff to grow banana trees! Mocow I love you too and I wish you were here to experience this I know the kids would love you and you would benefit them so much.! Laura its amazing here! So amazing and i wish you can see this but i've filmed and taken pictures and recorded everything! Miss you but I hope your having a great time at the beach! I love all f y'all so much and miss each one of y'all even the peole i didn't mention, but i wouldn't come back for the world God has called me into this and I feel so comfortable and exstatic about everything! Love y'all!

Hey Nick, thanks for the great post. It is awesome that you realize that just as you are there to serve, that you are being served as well by amazing people. I'm sure that the people you are serving think you are pretty amazing. You are with a whole group of amazing people and these little snipetts of up-dates just keep us waiting for more. We can't wait to have all of you fill in the blanks and too see the amazing photos and video to make the story complete. Much love and continued prayer for all of you.

I hope everyone had fun at the beach today. I look forward to hearing stories about your experience at vacation bible school. I know that all of you will teach these children so much about Jesus Christ but my prayer for you is that you will allow these children to teach you as well. I know that all of you will open up your hearts to these children and learn from their lives and their faith in the Lord just as these children will learn more about the Lord from you.
