What are the odds that a little bit of Haiti would come my way this summer?
That's right, Walnes is here with me in IN for the 2007 Presbyterian Youth Triennium.
To be honest I've only seen him twice in three days with no more then 10 minutes to spend before I take off working again.
I'm leadership for the outdoor recreation team. That means I get to be on stage and make a fool of myself leading 5,000 youth in games and energizers. I love EVERY minute of it.
Today I FINALLY got to go to worship and Walnes sat beside me. It's great fun to watch him watching everyone around us. He made me laugh really hard after an amazing story was told and we all clapped while Walnes yelled out "BRAVO!" I just smiled. It's great to see him but it makes me miss them all... and I had a little piece of Haiti all day.
There was a guy in SCOC who had on a very cool pair of sun glasses and you could just tell that he was cool, that reminded me of Jean Bernard. Then a 11 year old boy had a solo and I thought of Woodrot singing in God Spell. Then a man named Jay looked like George and acted like Papi. I also found a little girl dancing and playing with a little drum and it made me miss all the kids at the O. I was just a wave after wave today but it was wonderful.

Thanks Megan for the photos and update. Lordy, do we miss you! But we know you are where God has led you and that you are giving so much to so many. Hope it all ends well and the trip to JAX is swift.
