Only 8 more days until we leave for Haiti!!! I am dying to see Jalon Petersen! Yesterday I went out and bought him some essentials for our week together... clothes, underwear, shoes, a toothbrush, ect. It got me so excited. I can't wait until we bring him home and he is finally ours!I am dying inside without him!!!
We ordered some Language CD's. We are wanting to learn Creole. Since Jalon doesn't speak any English it would help him to settle in better if we were able to speak his native language. I know he will learn English much faster than we will learn Creole BUT I want him to retain his native language forever so if we use it in the home he will be more likely to remember it. This is important for me. He is a Haitian and I never want him to forget that, I won't... I am forever in love with Haiti!!!
We have been collecting essentials for the people in Haiti and will be bringing that back with us. All of our friends, even strangers in our community have been so amazing and have been donating to us. Baby formula, medicine, food... all these things are so expensive in Haiti and we are so blessed to have people surround us that just want to help. I am overcome with gratitude! God is so good!!!!
We leave in 2 days for a quick trip to Slitterbahm for the weekend then the mad rush to get ready to leave for Haiti... I promise to post before we leave.
Love y'all... Jen
