Prit and I are winding down our time in the States. John flew out yesterday morning and is now visiting friends of ours in the Dominican Republic. Today, he’ll take a bus over to Haiti and resume his teaching in our Bible institute. Yesterday afternoon, Prit and I dropped Gabe off at the airport and as I type he is en route to Portland, Oregon. Prit, John, Gabe, and I drove to Richmond on Thursday where we met our daughter, Deb, her husband, Ben, and our incredible grandson, Sam. They drove down from West Virginia and we all relished in a one-day family vacation. Very reluctantly, we parted with Deb’s family since we don’t know when we will see them again. Such is missionary life, but we are so thankful for the time we had together.
While our children resume their normal activities in various places, Prit and I will be returning to Haiti at the end of the month. We’re looking forward to seeing the cabinets that are being built for our small mission house as well as the laying of tile for one of the bedrooms. When our team from Tacoma arrives in October, they’ll lay the remaining tile for the kitchen/den area. Work will also commence on the kitchen in our larger mission house. The concrete breakfast bar will be demolished, thus creating a larger space for working.
For those of you who wish to come visit us this year, we look forward to entertaining you in our renovated homes. Although, the renovation is a long way from being over, one must start somewhere!
Many thanks to our generous friends for helping us to move these projects along. Funds are still needed for completing the kitchen, so if you’d like to make a donation, we would love to have your help. Just earmark your check “kitchen renovation” or leave a note through PayPal if you wish to give online. Even though they are mission houses, they are “home” to us.
