Georgetown-Lisa Vitaniemi is a teacher at Georgetown-Ridge High School and has been taking mission trips to Haiti every year since 1998.
However, it was this trip that gave her a new outlook on life.
For years Lisa's husband has taught at a bible college in Saint Louis Du Nord while Lisa puts on teaching seminars at the school.
The city is just one hundred miles from Port-Au-Prince where disaster struck.
Lisa and her church group arrived in the city on January 11th.
It was just twenty-four hours later she heard the horrific news.
They immediately took action, separating and loading medical supplies into a semi truck to send to Port-Au-Prince.
Meanwhile the church group Lisa was with helped set up surgery rooms in the town they were staying.
Lisa said she continued with her teaching seminars. The locals said they needed something to take their mind off the devastation.
After multiple delays with returning flights, Lisa is finally back home.
She says returning home to a warm home and food in her fridge made her take a step back and realize how truly blessed she is.
