Hello everyone,
Well, tomorrow we leave for the US after having spent our longest period of time in Haiti! The time has really gone fast and God has taught me a lot. March was filled with teams and I enjoyed getting to know so many more people! (More pictures later...waiting for team members to share their photos!)

One big highlight this March was going to Jacmel for missionary retreat! Nearly all the missionaries were present and we enjoyed a time of spiritual refreshment as well as relaxation and fun things like beach volleyball! :) The hotel was right on the water with beautiful views all around. I roomed with Christie (a missionary girl) and we got to know each other so much better. My friendship with her has depend and we have had many great talks.

Well, today we said goodbye to Christophe as well as Ron and Linnea. They are going out into the bush today with the team that is currently here. Tomorrow, Lord willing, will be a big day of travel! We leave Les Cayes around 8:15am, fly to Port-au-Prince, then fly to Miami at 12:00. Then, after a 6 hour layover, we head to good ol' Indiana at 9:00pm! Needless to say, I think we'll be exhausted! Dad flies with us to Miami then waits until the next day to fly to Indy. Please pray that all goes well and that we make it safe and sound...luggage and all! (Luggage and Haitian planes sometimes have issues!)
I look forward to seeing you all soon! God bless!

His, Tess
