Following all our meetings, we had some good time with our OMS Haiti "family" this weekend! Yesterday afternoon we went out to lunch and then to the pool. Today we had an "End of the Summer Shabang" which included a picnic in the yard, football, playing with the kids and baseball.
The other kids LOVE having a "baby" around, and Lily always gets well-showered with love when the other ti-mouns (literally, little people) are around!
It was a blessing of a weekend for us to have time to be united with part of our Haiti family and to do some fun, rare things :)
We are grateful to have field leaders that are friends,too, a boss at the Seminary that we enjoy spending time with, neighbors that we can share life and struggles and joys with, "foreigners" that we can share laughter and kids with, friends we can borrow flour from and who help with inverter issues...brothers and sisters that we can count on to run after the Lord alongside of, pray with, dream with, struggle with, serve with and die to!
Meanwhile, the students began returning to the EBS campus yesterday, and tomorrow is our first day back to school! Tomorrow and Tuesday are orientation days, and then class starts Wednesday! Student body photos to come...
Thank YOU for your love and prayers!
Praying for you!
