Finally I find the time to sit and write my final post from my time in Haiti. It's been over a week since I'm home now -- and wow -- sometimes Haiti feels so long ago! My joint pain from the Chikungunya virus remains -- although it continues to get better. This week my joints had been hurting less and less, but I've been taking it easy. Last night I played volleyball for a little -- and really am paying for it now -- as my joints have been hurting a lot worse again. So I guess I just need to avoid too much exercise until the virus is gone gone GONE!
And now, for some pictures from my last days and weeks in Haiti . . .

-- the only church in Lasource --

We discovered that day that she's pregnant with twins!

She got really sick soon after birth and was sick for over a week.
We went daily to see her.
