Well, it’s been a while. At the end of June, I flew back to the states for 6 weeks. It was a blessing to get to spend time with family and friends. I was able to share with several churches. While stateside, I kept up with what I could from afar, work wise. I was thankful to get to help throw a shower for a long time friend who is getting ready to have her first baby. How wonderful it was to celebrate her, pray over her precious baby, and spend time with long time friends. We visited a nursery and I, of course, took way too many flower pictures. I spent a week with dear friends in Gainesville and wished I could’ve stayed longer. I snuggled with Ducky and Linda (neither really enjoyed the snuggling) and let them stay inside way more than they are used to. We had a hurriance and I was reminded how I spoiled I am. We had a big family dinner and got ALMOST all of the crew there. And in between everything I spent a lot of good time with my Mama.
But ohhhhhh I was happy to be home come mid August. I couldn’t wait to get back to my people. Otis and Lucy are now best friends. They follow each other around, sleep together, play together, even eat out of the same food bowl (Lucy refuses to eat cat food). The lunch crew was back together again (myself, Niolita, Hernso, and Rameau). Sabina and I had a good time catching up. It was so good to go back to church on Sunday morning and feel right where I belonged. Monday morning when I went to work is something that I cannot even explain. There is just something about my work family that continues to bless me over and over again. We are getting ready for a big meeting tomorrow (8/29) and also getting things together for this school year. It has been very busy and very worth it.
Love You to Haiti and Back
