The top ten things I learned from Haiti

10. It's the little things that get you through. Sapi Bon on a hot day. Juice at dinner. Skype dates - even if there can't be video. A fan blowing on your face.

9. There is no maximum number of people who can fit in one vehicle. 30 people in the back of a tiny truck? No problem.

8. It is possible to fall off of motorcycles. If it happens, Haitians WILL make fun of you.

7. Mosquitoes can destroy your legs, but stretch mark cream can cure any scar.

6. Kids don't need to wear clothing until they're 10 years old.

5. I miss my family more than I ever thought I would. As much as I love it here, it's going to be soo good to come home to them again.

4. Joy can be found in the most desperate situations. The smile of a little Haitian child can brighten anyone's day.

3. Once you experience poverty of that level, nothing else will compare. The poverty I thought was in the DR seems like nothing now. It's seems like we're in America now. What will it be like when we get back home?

2. Being sick really sucks. Especially being sick with the Dengue Fever. But even when you're stuck in bed with the ugliest rash you've ever seen, the worst back pain you've ever experienced, and your eyes feel like they're going to pop out of their sockets, God can speak to you in powerful ways.

1. Jesus is so powerful. He chooses to use me to show his power. To heal the sick and cast out demons. I seriously can't get over it.
