June: Trip to Haiti
Nate and I had the most amazing experience spending a week in Haiti. We were privileged to go with the Haitian Roots group. Nate interpreted (he was a life-saver!) and I implemented a couple of counseling groups to children and adolescents dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake. It was an unbelievable experience. But when all was said and done, we just enjoyed loving and playing with the children at the orphanages. We couldn't get enough!!
Pictures definitely don't captivate the experience, but here is just a taste...

Haiti was a life-changing experience and it was very difficult to leave. We both definitely have a new perspective on life. We hope we can return again soon!!
