This is a page about Haiti and what it has to do with my faith. The video above is probably the most powerful video I have ever seen and I think that it has a lot to do with my faith. My sister went to Haiti in 2011 and she said that the destruction and devastation there is so great that she couldn't even begin to describe it. There was so much that was destroyed and so many people who were dead and so many more who were homeless, sick or living in horrible conditions and had no hope of a good life anymore. But what my sister said was that the Haitian's faith was so amazingly strong! There were people who were living in tents with three or four other families. The tents were built in a large area where there is no garbage collection system at all. So, there is sewage, trash and debris everywhere. Yet these people would invite white people in and ask them to pray for them and they would try to give them food, even if they didn't have very much. I think that this is super important! We take so much for granted here, in the U.S. and it's crazy how in the middle of all of this hurt and destruction, God is still the most important thing to these people! This effected me so much and now I use it as a representation of what I want my faith to look like. I really hope I can visit Haiti some time soon and get to see and talk to these people in person, because they are truly amazing for their strength, heart and faith.
