Wow! Two months was a LONG time to be away. A much needed break but it’s so, so, so good to be back in my little Haiti house again! Yesterday was spent cleaning and getting caught up on schedules, etc for the groups coming in a few days. It was also my chance to show my son everything that has changed around here since his last visit almost two years ago…. a LOT! Lee spent seven years coming in every six month or so but hasn’t been in since he got married two years ago. Having Lee and Marisa join us here for a couple of weeks is such a treat! It is a very different place than he remembers! I love this picture he took from the mission roof yesterday afternoon…
Katie, Marisa and I went downtown yesterday and bought lots of fresh fruits and veggies at the market and even got to see some of the local brothel girls. I cannot WAIT to get back to the brothels and to the prison! We are waiting on our luggage (twelve bags!!!!) to arrive today so we can begin sorting and getting the donated supplies ready to distribute. SO EXCITED!!!
Please keep us in your prayers as we get back into the swing of things. We are enjoying the quiet before the storm but are also really looking forward to getting out and back to work and are especially excited about the groups coming!
Hi Melonnie,
I will be traveling to NWHCM in Feb. with the Eye Team. I would like to bring at least some supplies to donate for your work. Should I just look at the list you previously posted, or are there any particular needs? I can potentially fill about half of a suitcase.

That is great!!! My biggest needs currently are bars of soap and toothpaste for the prison but everything/anything from that earlier list (as well as the ministry needs page on this blog) are ongoing needs. Thank you SO much and see you soon!
