Weekend of Change

Thursday May 12, 2011

-The day began with many errands and packing.  The Salter parents and Ballou family traveled to Louisville for a Thursday night dinner celebration for my Graduation.  We ate at Captains Quarters.  It was truly a blessing to get to have everyone around to celebrate this occasion.  It meant so much to me that in spite of busy schedules they all set aside the time to reflect with us over the crazy and life changing times the past four years have been.

-Boyce Graduation began at 10 a.m.  It was incredibly surreal to be in a cap and gown and graduating from college!  I fought back tears as I sat overwhelmed at all God has done even just within the past four years.  I have grown so much and would not trade all the things I learned at Boyce for the world!

-12:30 after many hugs and lots and lots of pictures Trey and I were checking bags at the Louisville International Airport preparing to fly to Haiti...

No you didn't miss anything, let me fill you in:

Several months ago Trey and I were approached with the opportunity to move to Haiti. We have a heart for the nations and truly desire to see the name of God proclaimed to every tribe and every tongue.  We also love camp ministry and the opportunity in Haiti includes International Camp Ministry.  We are open to making a move to Haiti and were able to take the opportunity this weekend to visit and try to get a clearer picture of where we would serve.

-6:00 p.m. We were having dinner with David Melber in the Miami International Airport Hotel.  We enjoyed a great meal and good fellowship.  We then were off to our rooms to try to get some rest before meeting at 5:30 a.m. to fly to Haiti!

-6:00 a.m. We were sitting at our gate waiting to board our 2 hour flight and land in Port-au-Prince, Haiti!

-Yes we were sleepy but don't worry by the time we landed in Haiti we were too excited about all that was in store to allow an early morning and a busy few days ahead to hold us back!

The blog tomorrow will contain pictures and stories from our weekend to Haiti...see you then!
