On a recent flight a couple of weeks ago, I sat next to a college student from the Midwest who was traveling to Haiti to do mission work. We had a very nice conversation and talked about all kinds of things. I was especially impressed by the importance of faith in her life and how that manifested itself in how she lived. Her presence made the flight much nicer and our conversation lingered in my mind long after we had parted ways.
I received an
email from her today in which she wrote about her experiences in Haiti: "The people we met there were so
compassionate and giving. Even though
they couldn't understand what we were saying, they showed us how much they
cared through their actions. It was
truly a representation of how actions speak louder than words. Even though there was this language
barrier, we were able to show and they were able to show us, God's love
through actions."
