letters to haiti

one of the things we are doing each afternoon is writing notes to the kids in haiti that pat, rebekah and myself have met and love.

each day we write 2 of the kids. EACH of us writes EACH of them a note. but we have to translate what we want to say. so we use the ipad and my phone and take turns. we have pictures of each of them, so we get those 2 kids pictures and have them on the table to look at them...to look in their eyes and try and make it as personal as we can.

a side benefit is that my kids are learning some creole! i've literally heard them say phrases to each other in creole during the day - so cool! pretty much EVERY note has, "i hope i get to come to haiti and meet you one day" in it...that's a HUGE prayer of my heart!
