"Deuces" America! I'm Heading Down to Haiti

I'm leaving for Haiti in approx. 6 hours. Crazy stuff. Less than a week ago, a friend and I were planning on heading to D.C. for a few days over Spring Break. Checking out monuments, museums, reading, and coffee shops. That all changed when the opportunity to help build an orphanage that Vineyard Columbus and other partnering organizations are funding. My friend Joel is heading up the project, and he has been down there for a couple months now.

I'm pretty excited.

What to expect? I don't know exactly.

Heat.
Hard work.
Relaxing evenings.
Reading.
Quiet.
Community.
Jesus.
Serving.
Cement.
Sweat.

Sounds like a good combination to me. So I will try to update this every so often over the next 8 days. Maybe posting some pics (thanks Laura) and maybe some thoughts.
