Returning to Haiti -

Since coming home in August, I have had plans to return to Haiti in December... My original plan was after the holidays because I was looking forward to passing the time with my family. However as my transition back into American life came about I started working with Children with Special Needs at a local Elementary School in Salem, MA. I love the children I work with, and have found inspiration and knowledge in an amazing mentor. Because the dates of Christmas Vacation are slightly different for the Elementary schools than the colleges, I had to reschedule my trip dates. Thanks to my wonderful mother and father, and the grace of God, I was able to make the switch and find the extra money to change the plane tickets. I now leave Boston on December 17th and return home January 5th!! Although I will miss my family dearly during the holidays, it is wonderful to think of how amazing the holiday will be down with the children. I am very thankful to God for my supportive family, who embraces my desires to live overseas and prays and supports every step of the way. Without them none of this would be possible.
It will be a very exciting trip because all the children will be there, but Kez and Bryn will also be there, and I am looking forward to seeing Bryn and seeing how she is adjusting, and helping here in anyway possible. I have also been offered a long term position in PAP at Institute of Grace where I would be serving as an English Teacher, and HIV Awareness director of their new clinic, as well as aiding mission teams! I have really been praying for this opportunity and am looking forward to the chance to visit the site and meet with the directors of IOG. This trip will really be a great opportunity for God to show me if this is where He needs me.
In the mean time I am seeking support and sponsorship for a 2 to 3 year stay in Haiti - as well as continuing to seek after God's will. I appreciate all your prayers and look forward to reconnecting with so many of you as I plan the final few days before my next trip down.
Bondye Beni nou tout!
