A missionary blogs it like it is

Blogger Heather Hendrick is a
breastfeeding instructor and midwife-in-training at Heartline
Ministries, an evangelical mission organization in Port-au-Prince.
She and her husband Aaron, a Southern Baptist minister, have four children.

After the earthquake struck Haiti last
January, the Hendricks began to reconsider their comfortable life in Texas. "Besides
knowing all the right things to say," Hendrick posted, "our lives do not really look much
like Jesus'. . . . there are some huge discrepancies between who Jesus is, and
who I'm striving to be."

Heather and Aaron visited Port-au-Prince
last May to scope out their potential placements. She hoped to discover that
things wouldn't be as hard as she feared but instead found the situation in
Haiti to be much worse. Despite this, or perhaps because
of it, she and her family sold their house and most of their belongings and moved
to Haiti.
