I spent my first few days back at the mission settling into my new house. As many of you know while I was in the states my house flooded and black molded. I was no longer able to return to that house and many items had to be thrown away. At first I was really sad because I had just tiled and painted that space last year. I really did like the space I had and well honestly I am not a big fan of change.
I was beyond blessed by the interns and Stephanie who moved all of my stuff to my new house before I even arrived!!! I was able to jump right into unpacking and settling into my new home. I was reminded that God has a reason and plan for everything that happens including my old house flooding and molding. My new house better fits my needs. I have a big kitchen counter, cabinets to store my food and kitchen sink which is a huge blessing since I cook all my own food. I know longer have to do dishes in the shower! :-) I also have running water!!! Feel very blessed to call this new space my home.
While stateside since I did not know where I was going to be staying on campus until a few days before heading into Haiti. I purchased a pop up tent mosquito net which has been wonderful! As well as a blow up couch that turns into a twin bed. I am so enjoying my couch. I love having a comfy place to sit after a long day to relax as well as in the mornings to do my devotions on. I do miss going onto the roof of my old house in the morning to do devotions and looking out over the ocean…maybe after summer teams are over I will resume that morning ritual :-)
Their is only 1 downfall to my new house…The long walk up the hill 12-13x a day as I run back and forth…lol The positive side to that though is

THANK you to everyone who prayed for God to provide good, safe housing situation for me upon my return to Haiti. God has been faithful as always!
That looks like a great house. It reminds me of my childhood home which I grew up in with my brother during the 1970s. Homes like this make great memories as they are not too rich or lavish. They also scream a strong sense of modesty. Homes are where memories are made to last a lifetime. This is no exception.

It looks like you found a good place. I remember when I first moved abroad and I was not sure where I should live. I ended up in the student area of town for the first year. That was not fun at all. It was constant noise with traffic and especially on weekends with nearby bars. I moved pretty quickly.

Hour house looks great. I know what it feels like to have your own place and that feeling is such a feeling of accomplishment for my wife and I. Thank you for putting up pictures of your place so we can share in the accomplishment. Keep up the work you put in, you have a natural talent for it, thanks.
