I head off to Miramar today to spend the weekend with the folks from Florida Bible Church. I’ll get to share an update of my life and of my ministry in Haiti at a dinner get together tomorrow night. Then on Saturday there is a church wide picnic and Sunday the “Haiti team” from Florida Bible will be meeting in preparation for upcoming fundraising events and their next trip to Haiti so I’ll get to be a part of both of those. Then on Monday I’ll head over for a couple days in Lehigh Acres (home of the RMI Florida office) where I’ll get to share a meal or two with Benjamin Altema and Rob Thompson, who will be flying in from Haiti for some meetings, and the rest of the RMI family (read: staff) and maybe a local friend or two. And then its off to Jacksonville again…
Busy days but lots of great things coming from the activity and enjoying the chance to see some “already” friends (I hate the idea of calling someone and “old” friend…)and familiar places as well as meeting new friends and visiting some new places.
And incase you didn’t see the update, I am 71% funded and only have 29% to go to head back to Haiti!
In other ‘fun’ news- my 14 month old nephew, Colin, is learning to say my name…he walks around the house saying something that resembles “Amy’ so we’re counting it as such! And when I’m not home I’m told he spends a lot of time looking around corner to see if I’m in my room. I’m loving this chance to get to bond with him (and his two older brothers) while I’m in the States.
