Friday June 18

Hey friends! I got a phone call last night via Kevin Poest and skype that the team had gotten to MIA safely, and got an email today from Jason saying that they were all home, so that means the two-week crew is all safe and sound back in Ohio. Thanks to the drivers who sacrificed sleep to pick them all up from DTW!

The 2010 wedding season just wouldn't be complete without a Haitian wedding, now would it?! The five of us still here had the privilege of going to Maestro (the Music Director at Mission of Hope) and his fiance Elsie's wedding in Jacmel yesterday. It was beautiful! So fun to share in a uniquely Haitian experience. Pictures to come on facebook (via Lauren and Steph) when we get home :)

After about 8 hours of bouncing around in the white bus yesterday [Grand Goave - Port au Prince - Grand Goave - Jacmel - Grand Goave], today is a little low-key. We tarped another 4 homes today, and now are catching up on some internet and maybe even a little World Cup this afternoon :) Lex got a nice TV so they can watch the games at the orphanage... might get a chance to take advantage of that this afternoon. It's been fun to be in a foreign country during the World Cup - everyone loves football! A lot of people here are Brazil fans, since Haiti's team isn't in the World Cup this year. Everyone knows the Africa song, too. Probably hear it an average of at least 5 times a day here. So fun.

That's all for now... time to pass the computer. :)
love you friends!

To Him be the Glory!

  3. Hello Friends!!!!!!!!!!! I miss you all greatly! I just love reading about what has been going on during your time there. Love it!! I can not imagine how hot it is.

    May God continue to give you strength for those hot days(probably everyday), encouragement for those around you, and the courage to continue to follow strong after Him.

    Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3

    That is so obvious in what you have been doing just by hearing about all the awesome things happening there. Keep it up! You are all amazing. And most definitely...to Him be the glory!

    Love you! Praying for you!
