A Day in the Life of a Missionary


Alarm goes off. Trying not to hit the snooze button. Turn off my alarm, fall back asleep. Wake up a little later than planned. Whoops.
Holy hour & morning prayer in the chapel at Covecrest.
Get in the car with another missionary & drive down to Atlanta.
Meeting at a school about how they can be involved with our mission in Haiti.
Talk with the school cook about cooking a Haitian lunch. September 25th. Date set!
Talk with one of their staff members who is from Haiti. Share, chat, hear about milk in Haiti, the cathedral in Port-au-Prince, her childhood etc.
Ice cream break at Brusters. Yes please.
Drive to our mentor family's house from our Atlanta mission last year.
Eat dinner with the family, catch up, play checkers with the kids. They beat me both times. Who ever heard of being crowned four times? They say, "It's the fun way."
Sitting on the couch as Zoe brushes my hair, reading with Clare, while Simon tells me about his lego car garage. All at one time.
Watch Abigail stand in her new pointe shoes. Whoa.
Talk about the blessings of having family life surrounding our mission community.
Drive over to the apartments of the Life Teen missionaries who have come to serve in Atlanta this year. Thankful & encouraged by their witness.
It's late - sleep on the couch.

Life is crazy, but so blessed. "Is this real?" I wonder 18 times every day. Thank you, Jesus.

What Does it Mean to Give?

There’s something I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around lately.   I live in a country where people don’t have a lot of material possessions. They also don’t have a lot of food, and the food that they do have is not the most nutritious or balanced type of diet. Their houses are not great; they don’t have cars; many don’t have jobs. The question: What is my response? Many times, people here ask me for things. It seems that I can’t leave our mission base without someone asking me for my water bottle, my sweater, my shoes, some money. I’m pretty sure they see me as a rich white person. What I’ve realized recently is that in many ways, this is actually true. If you look at the big picture of the whole world and all of the people in it, I am rich, even though I am a missionary and I have to ask for money for everything that I have. I am rich, even though I buy almost all of my clothes on sale, and have many that were given to me. I am rich, even though my laptop is five years o

From Naivete to Growth

I remember sitting caffeinated, late at night, in the library with a friend in college, talking about foreign mission. One day, we could live in Africa, we said over our lattes and laptops. It seemed a glorious thing to me, this missionary life in a foreign country. At the time, I wanted to travel. I did have a true and real desire to love and live among the poor, but the rest of it was a dream, built on nothing – I had barely left the country then. In fact, I don’t think I had ever met a real live missionary. I had heard about mission trips, but never been on a foreign one. My imaginary life was just that, imaginary. A little more than a few years later, I was moving to Haiti to start a mission there with a few other people from an organization that I loved. I don’t think I could have admitted it then, but it definitely felt glorious. I had read a few books about missionaries, met some missionaries, been on mission trips, been inspired by the passion, zeal, and sacrifice of others

My First Dance Class

Image
Picture this: seven Haitians teenagers and a white American girl with no rhythm dancing on a stage to the beat of a conga drum (or "tanbou" as they call in Creole). The man playing the drum is named "Ti-roro". He is in his seventies and is also the dance teacher. Yes, he did teach them their dance moves by doing them himself. This was my first of a few experiences dancing with Ti-roro's dance class. Three or four of the girls had grabbed my hands and pulled me onto the stage after asking me to dance with them. I couldn't say no, so I took a dance class for the first time in the 24 years of my life so far. While I have only danced with them a few times, these girls are a part of most of my favorite experiences in Haiti. They often come by after dance class, and even on days when they don't have dance class, just to say hello or hang out with us. One day I was learning Creole from a book, and it was teaching me actions and body parts. As I was readi
