Prayer Matters! Out of IBESR

I am overwhelmed with joy... These past couple of days have been right up there at the top of the list for "best life moments." And they just got better!

We were sitting on the sofa with Samuel Chancelet, visiting with some volunteers... when Stephanie walked up behind us and looked at Joe and I and said: "I have some good news for you two." She said she had just received 2 files in today, and one of them was ours; she then said:

"YOU ARE OUT OF IBESR"

I about had a heart attack... I jumped up and hugged her! Wow... I was estimating Oct/Nov time frame (as I am trying to be a pessimist.) We were in exactly 3 months!!! So it's now on to Parquet!

Thank you for your prayers... thank you so much.

  1. OH PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!

    That is quick, and to get the news while you are there - how cool. Praying for your today, knowing the time is approaching for you to drive away. God's Grace is the only thing that is enough in that moment, but it is enough.
    Can't wait to hear about the trip.

  2. Yahoo!!!! What fantastic news for you to get--especially while you are IN Haiti! If you have been on the balcony, I am sure you met my daughter Kristin who is volunteering there now. I'm glad to hear that he is such a good baby.

  6. Honestly, I hodn't checked your blog for awhile but 3 months in IBESR is AWESOME. It's nearly 10 for us and we're still stuck there. And many have been there a lot longer than us.
