Greek, Hebrew, Creole...

We're realizing that life is just busy wherever you are! Matt is working full-time on Greek for his Masters, Hebrew for his substitute until we can get back in January, and working on several "final projects" for this semester at Wesley Biblical Seminary, which doesn't actually finish until December 19th. He's also preparing to head for Kentucky tomorrow for a meeting with his master's advisor and to celebrate the upcoming marriage (December 29th) of one of our best friends from college. He'll be gone until Saturday night or Sunday.

Meanwhile, I am translating student testimonies from Creole into English to put our new first year students into OMS's student sponsorship program, working on getting our Christmas newsletter out, and setting up several churches in the States for Christmas and New Year's programs that want to involve Emmaus Biblical Seminary.

We both have already individually begun to miss Haiti however! Not the heat or the roads so much, but we are truly missing the people, missing living in a community where you know someone everywhere you go, and miss the loving and relationship-focused nature of the Haitian people. There are three more school days until Christmas break for our students, and tonight is their big Christmas party (pictured here, last years). We miss everyone!

Thank you for your continued prayers as we live between two worlds waiting for another addition!
