IM GOING TO HAITI!!!!! I can not tell all of you how excited I am to be going to Haiti in a week and I am so ready to go. The last time I went was about 3 years ago I think and I've wanted to go to Haiti since then. This time around I will be going to Haiti with my mom, my sister, my grandma, my sisters best friend, and two other girls who I'm really excited to get to know these two girls.
I think that there is such a huge importance in missions work both were you live and other places. I also think that doing the work that Christ has asked us to do is important to. HE says in Matthew 28:19 "Therefore and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit." I have taken this verse to heart and I really think that we are supposed to do as we are told.
I know that there are people out there that think that we need to fix our country first and then focus on the other countries. Those people must not think about the fact that this country has money and resources and a government that is trying to help, but in third world countries they dont have these things. They have nothing and the troops and the missionaries that go there to help are the only thing that are keeping hundreds of children and other people too alive.
I will be going to Haiti on August 6-13, with a flight out at an ungodly hour and I couldnt be more excited. I ask that you would keep me and my family in your prayers as we go on this wonderful trip. Thank you
Madelyn
