Listen here, young lady, how can you even think that you are not making a difference? The difference you are making resonates all the way back here to North Dakota. My home is still standing, my family is all intact, food, water, and medical supplies are at my disposal 24/7, and you are impacting me! Jo, just your smile and your presence brings joy to those in Haiti with whom you are so closely bonded. Their smiles tell the story. Stay strong and don’t doubt the difference you make!

Kay

You describe so beautifully how we all feel when we’re in Haiti. We spent a few days with Gertrude in April and I believe Patrick was there, also, driving for someone. It was good to stay there and work with a group of children of special needs that we haven’t seen yet and how they have a life of hope because of Gertrude and her help. A few trips back the Sisters took us to a cemetery where a little boy that we loved was buried. It was overwhelming but something we had to do to really say our goodbyes. Very different from home and I was relating to how you described it. Thank you for writing and helping keep those of us who can’t be there right now connected. Bondye beni ou.

We are looking after those that are deep on His heart. So have no hesitation about what you are doing. You are doing GREAT things. keep it up!

What you are doing is making a difference. One person, one thing at a time…every little teeny tiny bit helps. The world is a better place because of you and don’t you ever forget it! ;)
I can imagine how overwhelming things must be right now – but you ARE making a difference – more than you will ever, ever know!
I love you –
xoxo – d.

Joanna, you wrote beautifully about the ups and downs you are experiencing as you imagine the big work to be done in Haiti. God is GREAT! So good to see pictures of you and Anne today. Love to you both!
