Almost home!

The packing mania has started, condos are leased and the plans for mom and dad to get home are well on their way! It is very excited and I can't wait to see them, hear all the stories cook them all their favorites and just have them back! As they leave Haiti September 2nd and start their adventure home stopping along to see family, friends and attend my uncles wedding, they will be arriving here in Courtenay on Sept 18th! There are many things that I know they are looking forward to coming home for, but I also know it will be hard to leave the people, their friends and all the memories of what God has done in Haiti and in them over the last year.

It has been weird not having them here for a whole year, but as I think of them coming home I have thought about a lot. Although they are gone everything else keeps going. People have moved away and new people are here, People have grown up and many have changed a lot! Our Church family looks different, Our community looks different, and all our lives look different. To come home and everything is just a little different would be weird. It would be really weird having to order food, wait for it and pay almost double for it every couple weeks, what a difference is superstore going to make! What they have learned to live without, will it be hard or easy to indulge back into the many luxuries we live day to day. There is so many things that the mind, heart and spirit will need to readjust to, but I know God is for them and everything is going to be great!

So please be in prayer for my parents as they gear up to return home. Pray that adjustments will be easy, that ever thing they need will be provided and that all travels will be safe and without hindrance!
