Haiti

My thoughts and prayers are with all the people of Haiti today. Although I am not part of the Caribbean family quite yet, I do feel this disaster has hit me particularly hard. I'm going to be traveling to that part of the region in just 27 short days, and I cant even imagine something like that happening while I'm there. I pray it never does. Thankfully we don't have any Peace Corps volunteers in Haiti anymore, but I pray for the volunteers of neighboring Dominican Republic.

I've had a really hard time sleeping this week since booking my flight to Florida, St. Lucia and then Grenada. I am constantly making lists in my head of the things I need to do, pack and accomplish by the time I leave. I've wrote all this down, but the thoughts never seem to escape my brain. Maybe its the fact that for the first time in my life I'm having to wait on something that is not in my power. I'm used to being able to get what I want right then, and I cant. My trust and future is in the hands of our government (that sounds scary). I have never doubted my decision to serve our world, but I really need some damn sleep!


Always serving,

Mackenzie
