"Not sure I would go to Haiti"

Over the last few weeks, many people have said they totally understand why David left for Haiti as soon as he had the chance. Several others have not been surprised that if given the chance, I would also go in  a heartbeat. A few people have said that while they appreciate our desire to go to Haiti, they are not so sure they could themselves go. Understandable. We are all wired differently and have different gifts and talents.
This blog entry from CNN Chief Medical Correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta expresses something of our desire to go to Haiti at this time in her history.
Returning to Haiti. Tipping the scales of faith.

Heading home

David in his element in Ethiopia, November, 2009
David is heading home. Well, at least he is heading back to Sisters. He flies out of Haiti on next Monday and arrives in Sisters some time on Tuesday.
As we regroup and evaluate how the Uttley family will continue to be involved in the story of Haiti, we have to thank  anyone who has been following our story within a story. 
If I have one request, it is this: don't forget Haiti. I will continue posting to this blog in an attempt to keep the interest in Haiti's recovery alive.
There is much yet to be done. But we serve an awesome God. A God who is able.
