Samuel is one of my favorite people in the world!
He was the first Haitian I met and we quickly bonded.
I remember sitting in a hotel lobby, talking to Samuel for 3 hours the first evening we met. He sat patiently with me, answering all of my questions with raw honesty.

He sat there, as I wiped tears, and explained in great detail how “real life” in Haiti is. It was hard to listen to, hard to understand to the degree that I was able to at the time. It was my first trip and I was still quite vulnerable and wet behind the ears.

One of my most favorite memories of being in Haiti is sitting outside in the late evenings after clinic and just talking to Samuel about God, our faith, life, our hopes and dreams; his heart is made of pure gold, and he is honestly one of the best guys I’ve ever known.
