5 days away!

What once seemed like five MONTHS away is now actually only five DAYS away.  Haiti here we come!!  After praying and dreaming of a day that I would get to visit this country and my sponsor child, we are now seeing it come to fruition.  The packing has begun and now it is time to figure out what needs to be packed and what needs to stay behind.  Unfortunately although my dog is ready to come with, she is one of the things that will have to stay behind and keep everything in order while I’m away.  :)  What an absolute joy to go shopping for your sponsor child and to pack it in your suitcase knowing that in a few days you will be able to personally give it to him.  I know God has great things in store for this trip and in all our lives.  Can’t wait to see them all play out!  For those of you who have supported Taylor and I either financially or prayerfully, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  May God bless you!!

A few years ago we discovered that the Mother's Club in Haiti meets on Tuesday morning at the same time as our Mom2Mom group. It was a significant moment for me to realize that as our Canadian mothers got together to pray, study the Bible, be a support to one another and discuss the practical elements of childcare and day to day living so were our Haitian friends.

As a gift to our Haitian sisters Mom2Mom collected items to put together little personal "spa" packages for each mom at the mothers club.  We are so excited to gift them with this and a picture of our Mom's!
