Uncategorized – Love You to Haiti and Back

A nice cold shower

After almost two months stateside, I am back home. It was lovely to spend so much time with family and close friends. There is always so much to catch up on. I spent most Sundays speaking at churches, but was able to just be fed for the last two Sundays I was there. Furlough alwaysContinue reading “A nice cold shower”

Several months later…

Since I lasted updated, we had two more teams visit Haiti. The first was focused on reconnection as well as a leadership training. The second was able to put a roof on their Sister Church. Both teams were such a blessing. I always enjoy building relationships, both with new team members and with nationals thatContinue reading “Several months later…”

A tribute to Otis

Some may think I am silly. But some will understand. This one is from my Oti boy. Early morning May 27th, he left me. I loved this silly dog, probably more than some would call sane. Otis was the best dog ever. I miss him a lot. I miss him every time I come homeContinue reading “A tribute to Otis”

2026 so far.

Wow!! 2026 has been busy! I promise I have not been neglecting updating, finding the time is often hard. We have been so blessed to have teams back in Haiti. Yes, teams! Being the only RMI Haiti missionary, this means that I go out with all of these teams and handle other details before theyContinue reading “2026 so far.”

Happy 2026!

It’s been a while (shocker, I know), but I wanted to come on and wish you all a happy 2026. Since my last post, we have had another team visit here in Haiti. The two of them were here for a few days and visited several places. It was a very productive trip. As always,Continue reading “Happy 2026!”

3 months later….

Three months later and there’s finally an update. I used to be so much better at updating my blog and am striving to get back to that in the near future. The last time I updated, I was getting ready to leave the states and head back home. It’s been a crazy 3 months. IContinue reading “3 months later….”

An unexpected visit

When I flew back to the states in late April I didn’t know just how long I would be here. I was wandering around with no plan at all. If you know me, you know how much I long for a plan. After a few weeks, we decided to turn this into my furlough. IContinue reading “An unexpected visit”

sometimes

Sometimes you plant the seed. Sometimes you water it. Sometimes your the sunlight shining on it. Sometimes you’re the one picking the weeds out from around it. Sometimes you’re the one enjoying the harvest. Sometimes you shovel with someone else. Somtimes you hand someone the hoe to till the ground. Sometimes you pay for theContinue reading “sometimes”

Homesick

I don’t know how to explain it. I know others get frustrated with me. Sometimes I get frustrated with myself. How can I be in the place that I was born and raised and feel so homesick? How can I be in the place that everyone assumes would be home and feel so utterly outContinue reading “Homesick”

It’s been a while…

That may be an understatement. It has been since October 2024 that I have shared a legitimate update. In my defense, I have tried several times.. time just gets away from me. I am still not quite sure that this will be a good update, either. I am sharing some of my favorite pictures fromContinue reading “It’s been a while…”
