24 hours is just not enough in one day! If simultaneously I could document my thoughts while experiencing them in someway, maybe then I could catch up. Neverthless, my moments remain rich as I focus upon the moment, embracing the magical mysteries God provides in every encounter I have whether with people, sights, experiences or the like.

Early, early, Friday morning I drove to Limbe. Although it took an hour to get there, it was only about 15 miles away. Driving in Haiti is hard to imagine, unless you've been here. I stayed at a local Seminary, for the standards of Haiti, it was quite nice. Here is where the Area-wide Regional Conference for Medical Ambassadors was held. Again, an overview/explanation of Medical Ambassadors can be found on their website at www.medicalambassadors.org.

At this conference, many of the missionaries/trainors from Haiti and the Domincan Republic came for this two day event to share with each other what is taking place in their areas through their ministry work, as well as to recieve further training. This was a very enriching time as I was able to spend two days with people from all around the world including, Venezuala, Haiti, Finland, Congo, Dominican Republic, Argentia, USA, and Ireland. I heard stories that only you believe if you hear it from the horses mouth, or are there in person to experience it, I met individuals who live out a relentless faith as they trust God for things they cannot concieve of, yet absolutely need. In everystroy, time revealed that Gods timing in providing the needs of these individuals was perfact.

I learned a lot more about Medical Ambassadors, their mission, their purpose, as well as had the opportunity to meet five of the nine people I will be doing my five day training with on the 20-24 of March here in Cap Haitian. This training in called the Training of Trainors or, TOT1. You can learn more about this on the Medical Ambassadors website by clicking on 'Trainings.'

After the two day conference was over, we headed back to Cap Haitian where I have spent the last day and ahalf with Vanessa, (My friend from Modesto, Victor, introduced me to Vanessa over email. Victor spent two month in the Philippins with Vanessa doing an internship through Medical Ambassadors. When I told him I was going to Haiti, he connected the two of us.) Vanessa specializes in the area of HIV/AIDS training and prevention in children in Haiti. The last couple of days has been spent meeting more missionaries, going to another orphanage, experiencing more of Cap Haitian, last night I attended an English speaking church service. I am leaving to head back to Jacmel this afternoon. I will fly from Cap Haitian to Port Au Prince and Port Au Prince to Jacmel. I will remain in Jacmel until the 18 or 19 of March before flying back up here to Cap Haitin to attend the TOT1 training that Vanessa will be instructing.

The plan after that is to conider returning to America the very end of March sometime. Although I'd be quite ok with remaining here for some time, I need to return to America in order to hand deliver my college school work to my advisor. I feel this to be of utmost importance, as I am taking a full load of 18 credits worth of college while I am in Haiti. I want to do the very best I can. Showing actual footage, photos, stories etc. in addition to my reports I believe will be helpful in attaining the best possible grades. I will return to do more scholarship research and application as in order to return to school I will have to find funding. I will alo research how I cou ld possibly return to Haiti again soon while doing my college education at the same time. I may have to get creative here, nevertheless, if I find a way to make this possible, I have all the resources I need down here to study, (professional help, internet, a dictionary and thesaurus!) Anyhow, I have a lot ideas, I simply need to begin correlating with others, bouncing thoughts off of other peoples resounding boards and continue praying that God gives me wisdom and guidance to make the right decisions.

There have been a lot of developments at the Trinity House since I have left about a week ago, so already I have my work lined up for my return this evening. I am excited though, I miss my boys very much. I feel like I've left my kids and I feel sad to be away from them!

I must go now, but please know I value your time in reading these posts and staying up to date with what I am doing. It is really encouraging to know that other people that I know and love share with me in my time here in Haiti.

Please continue to pray for peace within my spirit regarding personal challenges that I face daily. God is teaching me faith, patience, and persistance. I want to continue to remain strong in HIS strength, not my own. Also, please pray that I continue to be open and walk in faith through the open doors I am provided. Out of the fear of the unknown it is easy to want to remain comfortable with what I know, but how boring that is! I have not been comfortable since the day I arrived, in the sense that I have chosen to embrace growth, and growth is not always a comfortable process. However, already I can see the progress I have made.

Looking forwards to providing you with the next update!
