Hey, at least a part of Texas got RAIN!!! ...

by Jimmy

So... we are leaving for Haiti in 3 days. Becky and I left Bryan Friday afternoon, and headed north to Plano to spend time with her family before Haiti. After a long day of packing, transferring that packing from truck to truck, we got into Plano about 11:00 and were entirely too tired to unpack. So we wait for morning and are greeted by...



Yes, north Texas finally got rain, and we didn't even think to check the forecast. We knew we would have to repack a little, but our primary bags were packed and ready. Now we have to repack everything.




After everything is dried out we will start again. We couldn't help but laugh. Apparently everything about Haiti is hard and unexpected, even when in the States.




Becky's journals were not packed for Haiti, as they were going into storage, so that, in my mind at least, was the biggest setback. They were not soaked, but a little water damaged.


I have been very excited this past week. Just yesterday and today as we left Bryan am I getting a little nervous. It is however such an assurance knowing that God is in this move. I cannot help but look over at Becky several times per day and tell her how blessed we are. It is such a blessing to have such incredible friends, family, and sending church. Thank you all for your prayers and support.
