Haiti here we come!

As many of you might know, we've been raising money to go to Haiti.  We are planning to spend a week there checking it out as a possible new home for the 2 of us!  Saturday afternoon we hit our mark!  We have officially raised all of out support for our Haiti trip!  Thank you to all who have made this possible.  We could never tell you how much your support means to us.  We are looking forward to our trip and all that the Lord has planned for us on this trip!  We know that our hearts will be broken many times while we are there, but we also know that the Lord will use us in ways we could never imagine.  
I am very excited to work in their special needs orphanage....I look at the website almost everyday and those kids just melt my heart.  www.nwhcm.0rg  This is the website if anyone wants to check it out.  I can't wait to actually be there and hold those little ones in my arms.  I can't imagine what it will be like, but I do know that I will shed many tears that week.  Only 1 in 6 children in Haiti survive....due to malnutrition.  They die because they are not getting enough to eat!  That just make me sick....in America we have more food than we know what to do with.  I know not one person can change the world...but Ben and I plan to try our hardest.
Thanks again for everyone who has supported us financially as well as with your prayers!  We appreciate you all!
