As we talk more and more to the family we are traveling with we continue to learn new things. The last email taught us that we are to expect the unexpected. When they went for their first visit, they were taken to the judge for one of the legal proceedings, without notice. They were also taken to meet their child's mother. Either of those things would be amazing to us. However, the most amazing is that we get to go to church with our host at his planted church. I have a feeling we will not understand a word of the worship, but it will be meaningful just the same. I try to picture myself there wondering how God will speak to us in that moment. I understand that service alone is really life changing.
Today, Tim and I found ourselves sitting on the edge of the pool we had taken the children to. We were alone and free to discuss our trip. The children were busy on the slides. We both remarked on how inconsequential our upcoming vacation seems, as we are going to Norris Lake in two weeks. I think given the chance we would just go to Haiti now and see what awaits us there outside of our new son. As wonderful as that sounds, that is not God's plan. So, we will ever so impatiently, wait.
