Thanks for posting a great blog. Reading it reminded me why it was a complete privelege for me to lead an amazing group of people, and be the one to introduce them to our wonderful neighbors in Haiti.
Thank you for leading the trip, Scott. We would’ve never have had the experience (and hopefully many more to come) if you hadn’t answered the calling.
