Off we go

Tomorrow morning we head out a little before 6 for a two week trip with the Thede's. The nine-hour drive will be broken up by a church visit in the middle, and then we will arrive at a Baptist mission in southern Haiti where we will stay for about a week. We all need to renew our visitor's visas so we will hopefully get that all done on Monday! Cory, Chris, and I will head to LaGonave (the island off the coast of west Haiti) for a few days, where we will meet up with some missionaries there, see the Wesleyan hospital, and sit in on a few English classes. We are also told that this is the land of icecream!! So we are so excited for that!
The next week we will travel to a retreat in Port au Prince for the missionaries in our area. (Haiti and surrounding areas) We aren't sure what to expect but are excited for the opportunity to go and see more of Haiti and have a change of pace. We will also get to meet more people, and I (Kathleen) will get to see one of my friends from college who happens to be living on LaGonave this year! So we are looking forward to the trip, despite the long car ride. It will be strange being away from our home. I'm looking forward to coming back in a few weeks and having it really feel like coming back home!
Please pray for safe travels and ease with getting our visas and getting to LaGonave. Also, that the retreat would be refreshing and encouraging for everyone.
We won't have internet the first week, but probably the second, so we will try to update sometime! thanks for your prayer and support! Au revoir!
