My name is Amanda Morphew, I came with my sister Katelyn and my friend Becca. I have been to Haiti before, I came in July of 2010. Haiti is an amazing place, i love it so much. Its such a beautiful place too, you would think with all the need Haiti needs that it would be not a pretty place, but its so pretty. My week has been fun and interesting. The first day we went to the orphanage… that was an experience. Me and Becca didn’t take sheets and it was freezing and rainy that whole night. Also, we didn’t even get to play with the babies that long because we had to go. But it was really fun all the little kids out there are so cute, and they LOVE having their picture taken. The second day we just stayed here at the mission and went to the graun mouns and the baby orphange, that was really fun too. We also got a chance to go to the brothel and local jail, someone in my group blogged about that last night. But i really enjoyed that.. its so sad to see that the brothel is some ladies job. I got the privlegde to pray and read one of my favorite bible verses to them. God truly is working in their lifes. When we got to the local jail it broke my heart. The man in there was so joyful, for being in jail. He was just calm and everything we prayed for him and got to talk to him which was really neat. The lady in the next cell was crying, it was so sad. She was in jail for something she didn’t do. We talked to her for awhile and then i prayed for her which is so neat to do. Today we got to go to the vodoo town. We hiked up to the path and went to the vodoo monument, and we were going to go to the temple, but today is their holiday called “King’s Day” so it was very crowded so we didnt get to visit there. After that we went to this really good resturant, and had some really good Haitian food. Tomorrow we get to go to House of Hope which i am really excited about. God has blessed me so much for being able to come on this trip with such amazing people. Just being able to be here and help the haitians is such a privledge. Haitians are such great people, and so full of joy. Even with all their problems going on they still love the Lord, and are happy people. I just ask you to keep praying for all of us here as well as the teams leaving tomorrow. Also, continue to pray for all the Haitians and pray for those who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ to be able to come to know Him. One more thing, if you have not been to Haiti I reccomend you come.. it is something you will never forget. God is truly an amazing God.
Love,
Amanda Morphew
