We are home!

Just wanted to let you know that we are back safe and sound. We are glad to be home, but are having some trouble adjusting back to such a "slow" pace of life - that's not to say there is not plenty to do here...with school, and work, and kids' schedules...it's just that it doesn't "feel" as urgent or purposeful as saving peoples' lives and ministering to a greatly broken country and such. I'm sure we will be back to the usual routines, and happily so, within a few days. :)

We are beyond blessed to have been able to go to Haiti, and long to go back as soon and as often as the Lord will allow. We don't foresee being there long term within the next couple years, as Michael still has school and it just doesn't seem like that's where the Lord is leading us, for now. We do think that Haiti is in our lives for a long time to come, however, and are very grateful and excited for what the Lord will do in us and in the people there. We also very much want to take our kids there some time in the somewhat near future, if the opportunity should arise. When I asked Adria today what she wants to do for her birthday this week, she said (twice) "Go to Haiti." :)

We cannot possibly say thank-you enough to those of you who have supported us, be it through prayer, finances, watching the kids (and/or dog!), encouraging words, bringing meals before and after, and anything else that contributed to our being able to go. Our church body (Grace Baptist Church) has been incredible support and we are truly grateful. THANK-YOU!!

I still want to post some videos, and am working on making my own video from some of the pictures we have. I can't do it right now, but will get them up soon.

Love,
Michael and Fawn
