great news and travel prayers

We had a really great day today...lots of laundry, cleaning, unpacking and re-packing, but also some great time with friends in Saccanville and in Vaudreil. 


Lily and I walked down the road to a friend's house and while I enjoyed catching up with friends, she enjoyed running like crazy with a few other little ones, eating up Kerline's rice and beans and putting on Shayla's make-up.  Then tonight we had coffee and fantastic cookies at Bud and Cindy's with the other four missionaries here right now (several are in Port and many still in the States).


We are thrilled (understatement) to share with you that some good friends of ours, Sam and Cammie, have just been accepted to come work with us here at Emmaus!  They have lived in Haiti before, have three little kids, and have a heart for Biblical training and being a part of people growing in Christ.  Sam is also a plumber/electrician/fixer-person (how's that for Stacey's description of a profession) and Cam is an evangelist if I've ever met one.


They are funding now and hope to join us after our crazy month (March) of visiting professors.  Ah, the thought of having help with the maintenance-side of things and having someone else living here with us full-time is just divine!  


You can check out their blog here.  If you are interested in helping get them here, you can find out how on their blog.  Please be praying for them as they fund and prepare for this big transition!


Meanwhile, we head for Ohio tomorrow, and would so love your prayers for safe travel and for fantastic behavior from our 2LOs (two little ones).  Please pray for cantankerous Sofia to just be miraculously content...or miraculously sleepy.  One of us is very excited about icy weather, one of us is very excited about icy cream, both of us are very excited about seeing lots of family and about medical appointments (starting on the 29th) to get to the bottom of Matt's health issues.


Thanks for your prayers!  We have truly felt and seen His presence so closely these past weeks, and are so grateful!
