One of the highlights from this past year was my first trip to Haiti with a small team from
Kids Against Hunger. As I mentioned
in a post last December, the Nativity I brought back from my first trip to Ghana was a great reminder of the mission experience and how I was impacted by the experience. So, when I went to Haiti, I wanted to find a Haitian Nativity scene that I could bring home as both a souvenir and a similar reminder of Haiti. I didn't think it was going to happen though as the village/mission we stayed in all week was very remote and there souvenirs weren't exactly a high priority in the community.
While we were waiting for our flight at the airport though, I went window shopping through the airport and found this great Nativity. The painted sandstone and coconut hut is unlike any of our other nativity scenes and I had to get it.
Like my Ghanaian Nativity from my first mission trip, this Nativity is a great reminder of the people of Haiti and the importance of continuing to pray for them, to be thankful for the blessings we have, and to continue to keep an open heart and mind as to how God will use me there in the future.
