Some things that I am really excited about are:
-the Miriam centre (I really live hanging out with kids who don't get very much attention because they seem so overjoyed by the attention. I've noticed this I Canada and I am really excited to see this in Haiti)
-the brothel ( I take it for granted that I live in a place where if you stay pure, it isn't a big deal. But I really want god to use me in some way, to show the girls in Haiti that it is possible to have a pure life. And that God is able to help them overcome a life of prostitution and he still loves them.)
Some fears that I have are: -giving the devotional -not having a plan -traveling (I've never been on a plane) -that I won't have patience with people, and that I will get cranky. -being in a different country in general.

I found these verses helpful even though I'm a bit afraid. 1 Peter 3:13-15 God is in charge no matter what "might " happen to me.
Also these words by Philip Yancey
"The Bible is a Christian's guide-book, and I believe the l know the knowledge it sheds on pain and suffering is the great antidote to fear for suffering people. Knowledge can dissolve fear as light destroys darkness".
