Sunday, they spoke with Matt's parents at church.
Monday, they ate a huge Haitian meal at our table.
Pastor Paul and Rick are safely here from Cornerstone Church in Bear, Delaware! They have come down for a few days to see what Haiti is like, see what we do here, and to be able to share better with our Cornerstone family about their ministry role in Haiti. They came in first thing yesterday morning, and started out on a whirlwind day that didn't finish until 10 pm.
They saw the new seminary site. They saw the radio station. They saw all of downtown, ate lunch with some of our missionary friends, went with us to pray for a student and his family, and then joined us and several other staff from the seminary over a huge Haitian meal. They also brought us wonderful presents...ziploc bags and cake mixes and worship music (thank you, Marlene and Vikki!) Having them here is like Christmas!
Today they went to class with Matt, and then headed off on a day of adventure with Matt and a friend. They are off to the Citadel, even though today is one of the hottest days we've had in a while! Tonight they have asked to take us out for dinner~ This is a very rare treat and we are both pumped!
We'll be sure to get pictures up soon.
It is a joy to share our lives with them...to introduce them to the people they have been praying for...to show them the things that break our hearts, change our lives, fill our days. It's a joy to share our lives with you in the same way...Thank you for being a part of our lives by following our blog!
you have no idea how hard it was to see Pastor Paul and Rick heading to Haiti while we stayed behind. It brought back memories from our trip there in Nov. I felt the excitement of this great adventure to a 5th world country. I could almost feel the heat, and smell the aroma of Haiti. I remembered how LOUD it is outside at night. Those crazy birds that sounded more like Chimpanzees, the roosters, the horns blaring all night long as we tried to sleep. I wish I was there this very minute experiencing all those things. Can't wait to hear their story when they get home.
ReplyDeleteI always love when Christmas comes early! I praise God for sending you the "gifts" of friendship and encouragement in the form of friends from home. Enjoy your time together.
