Thank you for your continued prayers! Brody's funeral was Saturday at 11 am. Matt has been enjoying really good time with his parents, Casey and Laura. Just being there has been such a blessing to him, and we're both so grateful that he was able to go.
School has started well, and the other missionaries have been so good to Stacey...having her over for dinner, to spend the night, etc. We're so grateful for everyone surrounding us with so much love and so many prayers.
The situation also enabled a very intense and interesting conversation in Stacey's English class with 14 of our pastors. We had an in depth discussion about why the Lord sometimes heals and sometimes does not, and how we can help people around us understand the true character of God as a loving and wise God despite hard times. These in-depth looks at God and at Scripture are such a blessing to us, and helping the students question their faith and discuss how they will pastor in a country so full of despair, devastation and desperation is WHY we are here.
Please keep praying, and we promise to have better blogs and photos again soon! Matt will start returning on Monday, and get back to Haiti Tuesday afternoon, Lord willing.
We feel your prayers...thank you.
What a good opportunity to really help those pastors understand the tough truth of praising Him in the storm. I pray God continues to give you the needed strength and a lot of hug and kiss time when Matt gets back!!
