Visitors

We meet new people on a regular basis here in Haiti.  It may be team members who come from all over to serve alongside us here at BHM for a week at a time, or new Haitian brothers and sisters, or we even meet new people that are simply visiting the mission property for the day.

I am a HUGE people watcher and love learning everyone's stories.  We are so encouraged by the many new friends and people the Lord has brought on our path since moving to Haiti.  However, in the midst of a sea of new faces, there is nothing quite like being reunited with some familiar faces.

Last week some of the guys Trey worked with at Crossings Ministries brought a large group of students down to work with BHM.  Patrick, Trey, and T spent a LARGE amount of time together over the past 3 years while Trey worked with Crossings.  These men love the Lord and have strong hearts that desire to lead their families well.  We loved getting to know them and their precious families.  Although the time we spent together was hardly long enough, it was a huge encouragement to see them and know we are all still working together.

Today, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend the afternoon hours with two lovely ladies that I grew up going to church with in good 'ol Corbin KY!  Julie & Karen had been in Haiti this past week serving with a medical team and made the time to stop by and see us at the mission today!  I made Sloppy Joe's for their team and enjoyed getting to show them around the property this afternoon.  These women love the Lord and have known me and my family for a VERY long time (we're talking Chelsea in diaper days).  They even hand delivered cereal boxes to me for our jewelry project from my Mamaw Peggy :)

I love seeing the hand of the Lord at work in our lives here in Haiti.  In the midst of quite a large season of "different" He is quick to let us see that we can still enjoy the "familiar" too.  He is quite the AMAZING author of this thing we call life.
