First of all, thank you for making yesterday the biggest day in Peppermint Bliss history. You have no idea how much FUN I have doing this blog, and I am just thrilled that y’all come around here to check junk out. Keep coming back, ok?
There really is no way to make this transition a smooth one considering how frivolous my bloggyblog is, and how serious this next topic is, but I’m just going to go for it.
It has been two weeks since the earthquake in Haiti. I know many of you have donated in what was already a tough economic time, so I am not going to ask you to give more (although if you haven’t, please do, any bit helps!). What I AM going to ask is that you head over to my friend-of-a-friends blog and check it out and maybe leave them a kind word.
Ben and Katie moved to Haiti three weeks before the quake to do missionary work teaching at a school. Although it is unclear when/if their school will reopen, and many other volunteers have evacuated, they have stayed to help in the relief. Their school has been turned into a base camp for the US Military and other recovery groups, and they have done everything from run errands across the border for supplies, to assist in emergency surgeries.
They are really inspirational, but I cannot imagine how emotionally, spiritually, and physically draining all of this must be. So if you could stop by their blog and leave words of encouragement I think they would really appreciate it. Not to mention what you will get out of reading their wonderful blog.
