We've just returned from a two-week orientation at Christianville and are hoping to move there in mid-June. This visit went well. We learned a great deal (mostly that we still have alot more to learn!). We met with the department heads of the school, maintenance and evangelism departments and got a clearer picture of how things work.
We visited one church that faces persecution because they are the only Christian church in a village that has 14 voodoo temples!
We got to witness a baptism in the Carribean Sea.
We helped with the biweekly food distribution to the elderly.
We spent lots of time with the school kids.
We visited a grocery store in Port au Price. Most things are available but some are very expensive ($10 for Breyer's ice cream - yikes!)
The other missionaries have been tremendously helpful in getting us ready for the big move. It's been a real blessing.
We are excited and nervous about such a big change but we feel at peace that this is where we are supposed to be.
