Matt finally arrived in Jackson, Mississippi last night around 8 o'clock, safe and tired. He had a whirlwind of a day today, but was thrilled to be back in class, in chapel, and in a "college" environment. After being a teacher for over a year now, it's a joy for him to be a student again and soak in everything the professors and other leaders are sharing. Our co-workers who are also in the program but had to stay due to visa issues were able to "be" in the classroom today with Matt through the internet for one of the three hour courses, and that was a big blessing for all of them, Matt included!
My dad also arrived here safely, his flight coming in around 2:30 today. He brought us all kinds of wonderful gifts from home, along with some GREAT maternity and baby clothes from Lisa and Eleanor (thank you SO MUCH!) ...so fun to get some new things!!! He hit the ground running, and will start work first thing tomorrow morning down at the new seminary site! (there go the 8 "vacation" days!) It is wonderful to have some time with him, and also to not be alone!
I'll have some pictures up soon. Thank you so much for all of your prayers...
Hi Stacey- so glad your dad was able to bring the clothes down to you! My husband, Jason, works with him. I tried to pack up the stuff that you could wear in the warm weather. I've been really enjoying your blog. You're such a talented writer and what you're doing in Haiti is so wonderful.
