If you missed our last blog post and want to read about some of the crazy things that happened in the first few days we were back in Haiti (including Sophie getting her first stitches) just click here. Today I want to talk a little bit more about what things are like from my perspective. […]
The first few days of being back in Haiti have been exhausting, fun, frustrating, and joyful all rolled into one really long package. In this blog, just because it will be interesting, I am going to describe some of the issues that we have run into in just the first 4 days of being back. […]
Elijah’s passport finally came in on Tuesday (we were sweating a little because we had already purchased flights) and we are on our way to Haiti tomorrow! We may struggle a little with communication for the first few days we are down there and getting settled, but as soon as we get working internet, we […]
As many of you know, we recently purchased plane tickets to go to Haiti for the first time as a family of 4! We are really excited, a little nervous, and really hopeful that Elijah’s passport comes in the mail today. At the same time, we realize that All Things New can only continue to […]
This is a really fun blog to write now because…We Purchased Our Tickets For Haiti! This means that we are officially heading back to Haiti Friday (we haven’t actually received Elijah’s passport yet, but we think we will Monday) and we are very excited and nervous about the trip. I thought, with our trip coming a week from […]
The best way to get involved with All Things New is by praying! To many people this may seem counterintuitive because it can seem like our biggest needs are money, supplies, employees, etc. There are times when I get caught up in that line of thinking as well. Some of the biggest stressors related to […]
With our upcoming trip back to Haiti growing closer and closer (we found out today that the State Department deposited our check for Elijah’s passport which means it should be her in a couple of days) one thing is really beginning to stand out. Our support system in America is growing in both numbers and […]
The picture here is from the first time we went down to Haiti in May 2016. Sophie is so little, and we were just trying to figure out how to live in Haiti with a baby. As you know, from yesterday’s blog, we will be heading back down very soon to Haiti and this time […]
Today is part 2 of the “Recent Conversation” posts (click here if you missed the first one). The setting is the same as the previous post, just about 15 minutes after the initial conversation ended. This second conversation happened as a guy that I have spoken to before walked into the clubhouse with his dog […]
When we are in America, it is really difficult to get work done at home with 2 babies, so I spend at least a few hours most days in our apartment club house. It is usually really quiet, it has pretty fast wifi, and there are very few distractions…Most of the time. Yesterday, however, I […]
I was just sitting and thinking about our upcoming trip to Haiti with the entire family and the fear of the “unknown” that accompanies this trip. It is funny, we have lived in our house for over a year, we have made countless trips to Haiti, and we have a great support system (both Haitian […]
