How this all started! Part 1

So I was talking to a dear friend and my one and only reader as far as I know, and she has been waiting on a new post from me for a while now. Anyway we were talking about Haiti and she ask me how we got involved with Joy In Hope and we agreed that it would be a good idea to tell our story from the beginning. So here it goes:

We have know Danny Pye for more than 10 years we went to the same church and he joined our cell group and anyone that knows Danny, well he quickly became a big part of our family. He treated the girls like they were his little sisters and to this day still does. He soon met his wife Leann and she became a part of our family too. They moved to Haiti about 5 1/2 years ago. I followed them and their journey and wanted to go to Haiti to visit them. But Jon had NO desire to go so we didn't. We kept in touch with them and they would visit us when they were in the States and tell us about their kids and the ministry. This only made me want to go more. Well I got my chance to go when about 2 years ago Danny ask me to be the Stateside Coordinator for the ministry, but in order for me to do the job he wanted me to go to Haiti to meet all 22 of their children and see Haiti first hand. So Jon, Katie, and I went it was Feburary/March 2008, this was an amazing trip getting to know the ministry better and seeing what God was doing through them was awesome. I fell in love with the kids, the people. and country of Haiti. This trip caused a lot of emotions for all of us. The biggest one for me was that I felt like God wanted me there. I wasn't sure what to think about this cause I knew what Jon thought about Haiti, and I couldn't believe that this thought was in my heart and in my head. So I decided that I would just pray about the feelings I was having and see what happens. I also decide that I wasn't going to say anything to Jon about those feelings.
