So we have been in Haiti and things are going great. We have had the chance to get out and explore the town these last 2 weeks to see where everything is.
On the second day here in Jeremie, Haiti we went out as a group to walk around the town. As we were walking a big part of me wanted to go to the point where this little boy that God used to call me here lives, but there was also a part of me that was afraid to go because there was a chance he had gotten colera and died because the point is where it broke out the worst. As we walked through town the group ended up heading towards the point which was natural for our group because it is one of the main places we would go on all of our two-week trips. As we were walking i was looking at the house where he lived but didnt see him, then all of a sudden he came from nowhere and was there and ran to me for a hug!!! I was so happy to see him and wanted to be able to focus on him which was hard because there are always so many kids that want your attention. It was great to see how he was not as shy as he had been a year and a half ago when we first were there, and that he remembered our group and was so happy to see us and wanted as much attention as he could get.
As I was playing with a group of kids it was music to my ears to hear him laugh and enjoy himself.
