What does the school year look like? A typical school year should follow the general schedule that we follow in the states (different holidays, of course). Why is my kid not smiling in their photo? This is just cultural! I promise we are begging them to smile but it is hard to do something youContinue reading “Summer 2024 Questions”

Life On It
One of my favorite albums is Life After Death by TobyMac. I remember listening to TobyMac when I was younger, even going to see him in concert at Wild Adventures. I always thought he was so cool and loved the music. But I don’t think it was until I was older that I really understoodContinue reading “Life On It”
February – May 2024
I started writing this post right after my last update went out in mid March. Well, I should say I wrote the title. At the end of every month, I changed the title. But I never did start writing because I don’t know what to say or how to say it. When I think aboutContinue reading “February – May 2024”
An update
In the past few weeks, I have had several reach out to me asking how I am. I want to thank you all for your concern and continued prayers. It means a lot that you care so much for me, my Haitian family, and my fellow missionaries. I want to share a short update toContinue reading “An update”

I love that even to take out the trash I have beautiful views! This country and its beauty never ceasesContinue reading “December 2023”
interruptions
Interruptions are the worst. Personally, I can’t stand them. If I am working and super focused on something, you can expect to be snapped at if you interupt me. Even if it isn’t work related, if I am in the middle of doing something or going somewhere, I don’t like to be pulled away fromContinue reading “interruptions”
November 2023
November has come and gone faster than I can believe. It has been a month of work as well as celebrating. Top left: Otis favorite place to be. I love having a dog that just loves to be near me. Top right: Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving celebrations these last few years seem to get smaller and smaller.Continue reading “November 2023”
Them bones, them bones…
There is something so unique about storytelling. Whether it be a true story or something made up, whether it be something based down for ages or something brand new. Storytelling is something that is a part of every culture on the earth in one way or another and dates back to Bible times. In GenesisContinue reading “Them bones, them bones…”
September and October 2023
September. I often procrastinate and write a blog post at the end of the month. By then I have forgotten what has happened during the month. This month I told myself that I would write it throughout that month so this wouldn’t happen. But here I am, starting on the 12th of the month andContinue reading “September and October 2023”
Love You to Haiti and Back
