• Went to Tennesse for a weekend with the family and for my cuz Naom's wedding. Had a blast hanging out with Phil, Krista, Court, & Ash. It was weird without Dustin..
• It totally killed me but I drove through Virgina TWICE for that trip and I was sooo close but yet so far away from all my friends. Yeah just ask me family, it really was killing me that I couldnt stop... they thought it was funny..
• While on that trip I got to see MY amazing Blue Ridge Mountains! Oh fine, I admit it. The Smokey Mountains were pretty cool to! :D

• I offically felt good for an entire 3 weeks!!!!!!!! I forget what it was like to feel good, its amazing!!! Im not 100%, but the 98% that Im at feels pretty good!!! :D
• Went out to Lima..... Sorry but I am SOOO tired of driving out there... its like a mega boring trip, all there is to see is flatness.. and fields and ponds... and semi trucks.. :/ EXCEPT! This time we, more like I, pulled a small trailer out behind our big van. The only bad part was I could only go 70..

Some random memories from Haiti. =)

Please stay sitted!

We heard a Ring Ring!

Trying to scare the first time flyers! it didnt work..

Flying with 30 people. try it sometime, its really um.. intresting! nah, it was alll good. :)

Making fun of Jordan cause of his Candanin accent! Hoouse, Moouse, Coombos. =)

Showing the Jesus Film 5 nights in a row, by the last night you pretty much had the whole movie memorized, in Cerole!

'Foto' 'Foto' =) when ever we would go to the differnent villages to pass out tracks or to show the film, the first thing all the little kids would ask is, 'Foto'!! And of course you cant tell them no, so you would sometimes stand there for like 15 mins with tons of kids swarming you, wanting their picture taken and then they wanted to see it!

How the Haitiens would laugh when they seen the picture that you took of them or of someone else.
Wherever you went you would hear little kids yelling, BLAH, BLAH!! (blah means white)

Our first day there we went up to visit a village and there was this little boy sitting, naked, in the middle of the path, crying his heart out. no one was out there watching him or anything.. and he just sat there crying..

TuTu! she had to be thee sweetest little girl ever! we all wanted Phil to adopt her so we could all be her 'Aunts' :)

Having a 'true' Haitien ride! there had to be around 40 people on the back of the 450, lets just say everyone and anyone hung on to each other!! the one time Ray hit the breaks and people literly went flying forward! It was rather hillarous!!

Watching the Haitiens laugh at us whenever they rode with us on the truck!

Washing our hair in the court yard,with the water hose.

COLD showers!

If you didnt have a fan on you during the night, you would wake up soaked from sweating. not really the greatest feeling ever.

our many 'fests' =)

Freaky Mt Roads!

The heat was insane!!

Riding on the back of the truck! Lets just say it was an art to be able to keep your balance and it was one none of us knew! =)

By the end of the trip you thought nothing of it if someone you didnt know was holding on to you or touching you.

The amazing lake!!

Amazing Haitien food!!

Jude AND Figgins!!!! ;)

The moon!! (and talking about who was looking at the same moon back home! =)

Inside names for some people!

The smell..

Lots of inside jokes with Annie, Kylie, Resa, Em, and Britt! =)

Falling off the back of the truck, who knows how many times!! I could never seem to figure out how to 'gracefully' get off the truck! I have to admit, it was rather hillarous! =)

Hiking 1 1/2 miles up a mountain. I didnt think I was going to make it up.. My lungs got really weak and my breathing got really hard and I fealt soo weak, and my heart was racing. I didnt see how I was gonna make it up that mountain. But with lots of breaks and one step at a time i finally made it!!! Only, I shall never do that again!! It has to be one of the most dreadful feelings ever when you realize your body is physically to weak to do something any 'normal' person could do.. I for real wanted to sit down and cry cause I felt like a fauilre, but i shouldnt have because i couldnt help it that my lungs where so weak.. I couldnt talk for about 2 hrs so I just sat at the school and rested but my lungs still hurt for several days.

Water in a bag! =)

Getting covered from head to toe with dust going up the mountain.

Singing on stage and at the clinic the one day.

saying these words over, and over again! "Bosaw"(is the greeting from after lunch until evening.) "Bojoo"(the greeting in the morning until lunch) "Melsi"(thank you) "Keza" (what?) "Pottyqua"(your welcome) (i know thats not how you spell it, but thats how it sounds Coma relay? (what is your name?)

Shopping at the market!

Getting to see my cousins baby who was morn the morning we left!

Going through Customs on the way home and almost missing our flight!

Thats only a small handful of all the memories I have. Haiti was amazing. It was def an eye-opening time and I realized how much I take all the comforts of the US for granted.. I have been so blessed and I didnt even realize it..
