Our friends from NC, the Villeneuve family flew in yesterday for a visit. It was/is amazing having them here! They brought a ton of supplies for our mission and family and we have a lot of plans of projects to do together...but even if they had just brought themselves and we didn't get a single thing done this week I'd still be ecstatic that they are here.
I have been in a state of constant awe for how the Lord has surrounded us with support and love on this adventure.
Ok, enough gushing...

The two professions I always said I never wanted to do were teaching and nursing.
It is rather ironic that the two things I am doing the most in my life at the moment are teaching and nursing.
God's a funny guy sometimes.
I was made aware this week that me being smarter than my children is a very very short lived thing as I had to google how to do a math question that Ella was working on.
Jeremiah injured his back just over a week ago...a pretty serious injury. Yet, today he is working on building a picnic table for the mission kids to do homework on. God still does miracles. I know many of you who read this blog prayed for him, so I thank you!
We passed the four month mark of life here in Haiti. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and some days life in America seems so far away.
I am perfecting my rice and beans recipe. If you come visit I promise to make you some.
If I had to make a list of the top five things I miss from America (besides the obvious one of friends and family) it would be as follows:
- Being able to exercise regularly
- The library (I'm such a nerd, this I know)
- Target
- Being able to get in the car and go wherever I wanted whenever I wanted
- Eating out
If I had to make a list of the top five things I love about Haiti (besides the obvious spiritual answers) it would be as follows:
- Simplicity of life
- The avacado's
- Less distractions from the Lord
- How personal relationships are elevated over possessions or to do lists
- The people
Not sure why I listed that out, but all my fellow list makers out there will appreciate it I'm sure, ha!
Happy Thursday!
