Hello friends, family, and everyone else! This is Drake
checking in with y’all. The trip has been great so far. We have had several
good chances at fellowship with the kids and also with our translators. This
trip has been especially neat because at every school a Haitian kid or leader
has remembered me, even my name. I also got to spend time with Carter and Jean
Auguste yesterday; they were our translators for trips in the past. Today has been my favorite day so far, I had
the opportunity to share what the cross means with the students. Tomorrow some of us leave for the Dominican
Republic and I am super excited to see everyone I met last year. I am missing
everyone back home! Please continue to pray that we are safe and God uses us.
Love you all!

The 4-day teacher seminar ended today, and we were all
blessed with the opportunity to work with the Haitian teachers this week. Our prayer is that the teachers here are able
to take all the information we gave them and find ways to apply it in their
classroom. We worshipped together each
morning and ended the seminar reflecting on our role as educators. God has called us all to love others and that
includes the students that enter our classrooms each day. In order for us to truly love them, we must
know God because God is love. Our prayer
for our Haitian teachers is that they will continue to seek God and grow in His
love, so they can fulfill the calling that God has placed on their life. It was our honor to be a part of their lives
this week.

PS: Incase you all are wondering... YES, we are sweating our faces off. However, we visited Saint Marc church tonight and they gave us ice cream afterwards. YAY!
