They all came bearing diapers of all sizes and some truly beautiful clothes, useful baby essentials, and meaningful keepsakes. Thank you ALL for coming and for being a special part of our lives!
Pictured here are FOUR generations of Ayars! 
This morning we were able to attend our home sending church, Sharptown UMC.
It was so good to be there and to see everyone, and just to worship "back home" again...Pastor Doug and his wife, pictured here, married us, and are planning on being our retreat speakers in Haiti for our fields annual Spiritual Retreat...They've also agreed to baptize Lily this summer!
Now, we are packing up, and tomorrow will put Matt on a plane for Florida and on to Haiti! Good-bye's are significantly harder this time around for all of us...
Please be praying for Matt tomorrow as he travels and prepares for some very busy days back in Haiti!
We will be upholding you both in prayer, Matt as you travel and do meetings, and Stacey as you deal with getting Lily's passport.
ReplyDeleteLove you all,
Martin & Sharon
Hitting the road and traveling hundreds of miles with a 1 week old infant so that extended family and friends can share this tremendous gift God has given them was a huge sacrifice for Matt and Stacey. Meeting with all the many people who wanted to see them, talking and giving of themselves was a such a testament of this young couple's genuine desire to please God no matter what the cost. We are so grateful for the time we had with them. We continue to be blessed and inspired by these two incredible servants of the Lord
