All Smiles


So as I've said life in Haiti is not Easy..Here are some pictures from my travels on Saturday! This shows the reality of Port Au Prince!!
The view from one of the places I went today..Pretty great eh? It made me Smile

Nothing Ceases to Amaze me or Suprise me here...This makes me Smile:)

I am grateful for the dumps in America so our rivers don't look like this!

A Tap Tap and a lot of People!
Again so grateful our rivers don't look like this!
A Market!
A Haitian church
The traffic does not always make me smile!

So, we went to Lesley's orphange on Saturday. This made me very excited! It was the first place I ever went with Rebecca and just absolutley fell in love with a few of the kids here. Undo was not himself today which was one of the kids. He along with a bunch of other kids were sick with the chickenpox. Poor kids with no relief. He was not a happy camper but he just came and sat with me and cuddled with me. So, hopefully I offered the poor kid some sort of comfort! Today was cool too because Marilyn came along. She is an older lady who was here on a visit. She was very kind and it was fun to see her excitement and expressions. It reminded me of myself when I first arrived. Also, I have a new American friend which is exciting. He is a 27 year old returned missionary. He is living with Rebecca for an undetermined amount of time. He speaks Kreyole because he spoke it on his mission. So, it was fun to have him to talk with and have him actually understand me and my life. Kind of refreshing!! Anyway, here are some pictures/video from Saturday.....Soooo Cute...If these kids don't bring smiles to your faces then I don't know what will:)
All the kids surrounded us that makes me smile!

Undo-One of my favorite little children..he was sick so Im suprised he's smiling:)


Cute Wesley..Another one I just fell in love with..isn't he precious?

Serge on the Brain

So, there is this super adorable family.......The Serge Family

I can not get them off my mind. All week I have just been thinking about them. They are so sweet and so kind and they don't have much. They are the same people I spoke of in Humility and their humble abode. Yet, they are so happy. This sweet family is very close to my heart. The rainy season is beginning soon so it has been raining at night. This makes me think of them and how they are in their little cement home with no real protection from the rain. So, I just imagine this little family all together enduring the rain literally but also just the storms of life. You know they might not have a lot of material possessions but in so many ways i think they might be better off. They know whats really important. I just love them all they are sooo cute! on Sunday I continually was hugging on the little boy on the right. After Sacrament meeting each child came up and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I was endearing and i just love love this little family!
The Serge Kids and The Dad!!
