Bittersweet Goodbye

This past week as been full of emotions. Some really big highs, and some really big lows. I guess that was to be expected as we prepare to move back to Indiana after a year in Haiti.

Jay and Amy Shultz returned for a visit to Haiti! Jay and Amy were the family that moved to Haiti alongside us but had to leave in June after Jay's accident

Not long after arriving on campus Jay climbs aboard the Gator to tour the campus.

Jay jokes around with all the construction guys.


Jay challenged Mierta to a race... but it still hasn't happened :)

One day we took our last trip to Double Harvest. It is so beautiful out there!

Which came first?


Just some of the beautiful plants grown at Double Harvest... got me in the Christmas mood even thought it was 95 degrees out!





The Tilapia Farm

On Thursday night we had a grand celebration. We were celebrating the return of the Shultz Family, Fedlaine's 6th birthday, and the end of our year. It was so fun and so sad at the same time. 

Happy Birthday Fedlaine!





On of my most favorite translators, Clerice, and Dianne Pierre present us with an amazing scrapbook of our year here. Filled with pictures and notes (even from some of the kids in the village), it is a gift I will treasure always. 


Wadline has been an amazing blessing to us this year. I am excited to see how she does in her new role as head of NVM housekeeping once we leave. 


It has been a crazy year. We have been stretched as we didn't think possible going into this year. But we have learned so much and met many amazing people. It has been a year we will never forget! Nou renmen Ayiti anpil!
