Updates and Praises!

Since it has been way too long since I posted anything, thought it would be a great time to post some updates and praises!

First Updates:

• Almando and I had a great time in the states.  We were able to visit with some area churches, spend time with family, and attend the Praying Pelican Missions Spring conference.  We did feel our time in the states went by far too quickly and we didn't have enough time to spend with everybody who wanted to spend time with us, but we are grateful that we spent some time anyways.
• After a quick travel day, we hit the ground running here in Haiti.  We spent time in Les Cayes setting up trips, then moved to the North side of Port-au-Prince, and then closer to home in Gressier and the Carrefour area.  We are feeling pretty prepared for the summer trip season and are excited to see what God will do.
• Our car was almost fixed when we picked it up from the shop last week, but it found its way back to the shop yesterday.  Keep praying for that situation.
• We are currently serving and leading a team in Bon Repos and will be with teams until June 8th in 3 different locations, so be praying that God will continue to give us strength and energy and wisdom as we lead these teams.

And Praises:

• My health seems to have improved in the past weeks!  Praise the Lord!  I've been able to gain some of the weight back that I lost during the first trimester and I have much more energy now than before.  The baby is growing and moving around a lot and we are getting more and more excited to meet this little one!
• Our team is currently doing very well and sharing the love of Christ with the children at an orphanage here.  The team is learning a lot about what it means to be a child of God this week as well.  It's so beautiful to see how God works during these weeks.
• With all the traveling we have been doing and the work that has been accomplished, we have remained safe and have tried to find time to rest.  Praise God for His example of the Sabbath!  We know we need to rest and God knows that too.  We are so thankful that He has been protecting us, sustaining us, and teaching us through this process.

There is so much more to share and I am looking forward to sharing specific stories soon, but for now, continue praying with us and praising with us as God continues to work in, and through, and in spite of us!

Be Blessed Friends!
