Matt's parents left this morning, after a truly wonderful 5 days in Haiti! They were able to do so much: visit the Citadel, eat Haitian food, watch us teach, meet our students, visit Mishlean and Hershniece, see inside a Haitian home, go to the "grocery store", see the new seminary building site, and enjoy lots of time together. They even claim they will be back, and that alone was a blessing to us :) They also brought us Christmas decorations, some new clothes, and photos and stories from home and family. We are SO thankful they could come, and understand a little bit better what we are doing here and what our day-to-day life is like. It was difficult to see them off this morning, and a true reminder, as we stayed and sent them on their way, that this is now our home.
It is never easy to say "good bye", but how wonderful it will be to look forward to their return trip. I am so glad you had some family time! Holding you up in prayer. His blessings be upon you.
