September 2021
It is crazy to even think about the fact that it is September. I may have said this last month but I feel like I run a marathon every day and get nowhere. This keeps me pretty confused about days and time. There is so much going on with earthquake relief. RMI continues to workContinue reading “September 2021”

Do you speak the language (Haitian Kreyol)? Yes, I am working on learning the language more in-depth but I know the basics. What kind of barriers do you find when witnessing? Language and cultural things can be barriers but we are blessed with amazing translators at RMI. I have never had someone refuse to listen.Continue reading “faq part 2”
August 2021
August started off with a bang! God works all the time y’all, He never sleeps. When I was planning out speaking engagements for my time stateside I totally forgot that August 1st was a Sunday. That doesn’t even make sense??? As many times as I looked over calendars and spoke to pastors, it’s crazy. WhenContinue reading “August 2021”

While stateside this summer, I got a lot of questions! I will be sharing these (and the answers) on the blog over the next few months. Here’s the first batch!

This month I would like to get into some of the worst parts of this life.Continue reading “The Worst Parts of Being a Missionary”
June 2021
June…it has felt like the month that flew by while feeling like the month that drug on. June brought out my obsession with pretty flowers. As always, Rameau knocked it out of the park! I am so blessed to have someone who can seemingly grow anything in my yard. I will be excited to seeContinue reading “June 2021”
The Best Parts of Being a Missionary
Being a missionary simply means spreading God’s word to others. This may mean doing it across the street from where you live and it may be living in a foreign country. I cannot personally speak for everyone, and I certainly cannot speak for home missionaries. But I would like to share some of my thoughts.Continue reading “The Best Parts of Being a Missionary”
Why am I here?
What a fun question! One I have asked myself before in a time of weakness. Shortly after I moved to Haiti I was walking to the school one day feeling hopeless. It had been an awful few weeks and I felt like I couldn’t do anything right. I was feeling like I had moved hereContinue reading “Why am I here?”
