We had a busy but wonderful weekend! It started off Saturday morning with picking up Matt's grandma and Laura's mom and sister and heading to Longwood gardens...a GORGEOUS flower and fountain conservatory that had some awesome landscaping and displays. It was SO beautiful...Matt and I couldn't get over how clear the air smelled, how gorgeous all the colors were, or how nice it was to spend some time with his family.
Saturday evening we shared at Cornerstone Church, and then shared again in their four Sunday morning services. So many friends came out to hear our presentation, and the church also raised $6000 for our truck, just in this weekend!!! It was unbelievable. It's just such a joy to share with people what God's doing in Haiti, and also to finally have the chance to thank them (thank YOU) for their huge part in that. We are blessed to be a part of such a body of believers.
Monday Matt has promised that we can finally go out and celebrate our three year anniversary (June 11th). I've been waiting and waiting to go to a favorite restaurant, and it's finally time! As we walked through the gardens Saturday, Matt's grandmother was very quite, taking it all in. At some point, she grabbed my hand, and said, "be sure to remember all this when you're in Haiti." We are clinging to all these things, all of your encouragements and the joy of seeing you all, and storing them up in our hearts for this upcoming year in Haiti. "I'm just so thankful" she kept saying, and...wow, so are we.
