A cancelled flight (yes, that happened again), another 26 hours in Haiti, with 7 stranded strangers we brought home from the airport (including the stranded pilot), three flights, and we are finally home! We arrived home at midnight to a huge DQ ice cream cake with "Welcome Home" iced on the top :) My sister knows me well...
Its such a joy to be home, and Matt and I deeply enjoyed sleeping in the air conditioned house with our cat and the quiet! My dad and sister are here, and tonight we're going out to celebrate at our family's favorite restaurant.
Tomorrow morning we will be sharing at Livingston United Methodist Church in downtown Columbus and then will be enjoying a 2 day family vacation hiking at Old Man's Cave and staying at a small cabin.
We are overjoyed to be back in our own culture, but also truly enjoyed a great time with 11 Haitian brothers in sisters at the Chili's restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. God's truly given us a heart and calling for the Haitian people!
We are so thankful for family, so thankful to be a home for a little while, and really looking forward to seeing so many of you! Praise the Lord for our safe journey and for friends and family!
Yea, you are "home"... Enjoy...
ReplyDeleteLove you, Lori
It was a real blessing to have you in our home on Sunday. Hope you had a good time at the cabin. We pray that the rest of your time home will be fruitful and fun. We have always had a special place in our hearts for the Haitian people. Maybe someday we can come and visit you.
