Permis De Sejour!

Fingerprints, check!  Haitian bank account, check!  Police report from the U.S. proving we are in good standing, check!  Papers and more papers filled out giving all kinds of details about our lives, check!  After 5 months in Haiti I am proud to announce we have now officially received our permis de sejour's, permanent visas.

We were definitely excited to receive our permanent visas, we have been approved by the country of Haiti to live and work here.  These visas provide us with a new found confidence.  Although we may not look like the people here, we struggle to speak the language, and we have no earth shattering talents to offer, we have been approved to reside in this beautiful land.


Now that we have our permanent visa we can begin to work on receiving our Haitian license.  Trey is very excited about having full access to driving in Haiti.  There is no speed limit here, you can create another lane of traffic anytime you choose,  the typical "road" is rocky and up a mountainside, and anytime you feel like passing someone you can!  Due to these facts alone I am slightly hesitant to hit the road so I may get a license but, I do not plan on using it anytime soon.  One step at a time, right?


Continue to pray for us as we seek to grow in our relationships with our Haitian brother's and sister's here.  Pray that we would be sensitive to the leading of our Savior and trust in His timing in ALL things.
