Haiti Day 4 (2011)

Went to Haitian church today. It was a blast. I am constantly being reminded of the Weston family. It breaks my heart a little to know that they lived here. I wonder where they were happier.

I didn’t see Mackee at church this morning. I hope that I didn’t just miss her in the crowd. I was looking at all of their faces trying to find her. I made a friend who sat with me during the whole church service. I never got his name but we sat together the whole service. I tried to sing along with all of the Haitian songs that I could. Hopefully it didn’t distract other worshippers.

We had a great lunch…I have been eating a lot again. Because it was election day we were unable to go out of the compound because of safety concerns, so we just stayed around the mission and played basketball and spent some time with the kids. I probably should have spent more time with them, I never know what to do though. I guess I should be stretching myself in that way all the time.

I shot a time-lapse of some clouds at dusk. I need more practice I guess…it didn’t turn out very well. I changed too many things at once. Today was an uneventful day other than that.

I met Lee from Canada and we talked for a while on a mountaintop while time-lapsed…

You know my heart God, and you know what I need. Also any time I could stop looking like a fool that would be good…I seem to always open my mouth and stick my foot right in.

Help me to create something that honors you. Show me where to put the camera and how to take the shots. Guide my hands and remind me that the credit is yours.
