Friday

Kasey and Lisa here! 

We can't believe how fast this week has gone. But as our relentless leader Jordan said, "The days are long but the week is short." Our last day in Haiti comes to an end with a bit of relaxation at the beach. It took us at least two hours to drive to our destination, Ocean View Beach. The view was instantly breathtaking, with cool breezes and multiple shades of turquoise water, reminding us of our home in Hawaii. The hospitality was a reflection of the Haitian culture with delicious dishes and drinks. There was constant laughter and fun filled activities throughout the day. "And I learned how to swim! :D" Besides soaking up the sun, we also had the opportunity to go snorkeling! It definitely was an amazing experience to see the marine life in a different country. There were schools of tropical fishes and an array of coral that covered the ocean floor. It amazes us to think how God created such beauty around us and how the simple things in life can mean so much. As we wrap up our day in Haiti, we are reminded to not only serve others and to fulfill our purpose in life, but to also take the time to reflect about who we are and the values we live by. We have truly grown through this journey as future leaders and people. Not only could we say that our task of serving Haiti was complete, but we believe that Haiti has done us a meaningful act of opening our minds to be more appreciative, humble and stronger individuals. Haiti has definitely forever left a special place in our hearts. There are no words to describe our gratitude towards those we have met throughout this journey and we definitely could not have made it this far without them. They will truly be missed and be kept in our prayers. 

With that being said, it's time to pack and we will see you all, our dear friends and family, real soon!

With love,

"Peter Pan" and "Nemo"
