Yesterday Matt covered in such detail what went on between Wednesday and Saturday of that week that I decided to share something different today. About a month ago, I read Psalm 12 and would like to share it in light of everything that has been going on with us, with the kids, and with Audancin: […]

So we had a place we could now feed the kids and still get them some tutoring each day after school. Because we now knew Audancin was capable of anything, we were not comfortable bringing the kids into Hope Rising without some kind of consent from parents or family members. Our girl’s cousin immediately got […]
We thought it would be good for everyone to get the story from both Matt and my perspective. I will pick up at the same point Matt did yesterday. We arrived back to Haiti on March 13 after a few weeks in the states. March 14 started 3 weeks of back-to-back American teams coming down […]
A few weeks ago Jess and I started a chronological reading plan where we will finish the Bible in one year, and that plan has led us to the book of Job. Job can either be one of the simplest books of the Bible (because of its narrow focus) or one of the more difficult […]
While the title might speak for itself, we wanted to update everyone on some awesome news…We received each of our kids’ report cards for the first half of the year and they are almost all passing! This is an incredible answer to prayer, and those of you who have been following us for a while […]
Matt and I were talking the day we traveled back to Haiti and thought it might make a fun blog so here goes. We traveled back last Saturday, January 3. I woke up at 3:00am making sure to give myself plenty of time to take the last hot shower for quite a while. Matt got […]
I decided, after hearing Jess’ idea, that I would write my list of things I miss as well. Some of the things are similar and some of them are quite different, but it was pretty fun to write. We will also both write the “Top 10 Things I Miss About Haiti” when we are back […]
10. Publix: specifically I miss Publix. I miss the ability to jump in my car and not have to drive at least 30 minutes (on a good day) in smog filled traffic, scared to death we will get in an accident only to arrive at the grocery store and not be able to find the […]
It is just so hard to even begin to understand the love that Jesus Christ has for us. I was sitting here doing my quiet time and I was listening to this new Chris Tomlin song called “Jesus Loves Me” and I was just taken aback by the way that He loves us. There is […]
There are a lot of things in Haiti that we will get to experience for the first time. We have experienced weddings, graduations, school meetings, immigration, etc. and we will continue to experience new things the longer we live here. Today I want to tell you about our most recent experience, a funeral. I want […]
