getting ready...

We are preparing to leave in just 3 days, and there is still so much to do! We've been blessed by the many friends coming by to wish us off, promising prayers of protection, safekeeping, and blessing with our friends and family, as we go to "the other place", as America is often called.

We are finding ourselves to be tired and ready to be home for a few weeks. We are in need of some of the invisibility and peacefulness that comes with being in your own culture, and anxious to spend time with friends and family that we have been unable to be there for. Several of our grandparents are in poor health, and we can't wait just to sit with them, BE with them. We can't wait to share with several churches: can't wait to tell and show them how God is using them here. We can't wait to do some of our favorite things: eat dinner out on the porch followed by family Speed-Scrabble, browse at Barnes and Nobles, order pizza and watch one of the movies that has come out in the past year, play with our pets...walk on carpeting :)

We also know that stepping away from this culture for a few weeks will have us ready to dive back into it, and we already know we'll be missing the friends that have become our Haiti family.

Please be praying for our travel on Thursday and throughout our trip.
Please pray that the Lord would give us daily ministry opportunities in the States to continue making Him known.
Please pray that our time with our families would be slow, meaningful and refreshing.
Please pray for us and our audiences as we share about what He is doing in Haiti around the U.S.

We cannot wait to see you!!!!
