We have arrived!

After months of prayer, planning, and preparation, we have arrived at our new home at Grace Village in Titanyen, Haiti!  It was so sweet to see the children and staff again and to meet the new children.

Our house is not quite ready, so Jessica and Alli (2 other missionaries at Grace Village) were so kind to get two rooms ready for us to bunk in until our house is complete.

Packing It Up

Our final day of packing... July 3, 2012.  

Everything is tucked in the basement.

The bags are packed for the flight to Haiti... July 9th, 2012

Farewell Sunday at Rockpoint Church

 

June 24th was our farewell Sunday at Rockpoint Church.  Oh, we feel so loved and blessed by our church family!  It was a wonderful morning followed by a backyard picnic of hot dogs and root beer floats.  Thank you to everyone for making it a special time for our family... our hearts are filled to overflowing! 

Last Day of School in the USA

 

Oh, the joy of the last day of school... June 8, 2012.  Morgan asked me to take her picture walking to the bus for the last day of Junior High in the US!  Benjamin finished his last day of elementary school in the US too : )


Next year, Morgan will be in the 8th grade and Benjamin will be in the 5th grade in Haiti.  They will be home-schooled and Mom & Dad will be their new teachers!!!


It was also Jennifer's last day of school/work at Rutherford Elementary.  It was a bittersweet day as she said goodbye to her co-workers and students.


Our Stillwater tradition is to celebrate the last day of school with a Lumberjack at Nelson's Ice Cream!  We will find a new tradition at Grace Village!

The Beginning of the Ends

On Monday, May 21, we had the beginning of our ends:  it was the last Edge for Robb and our family.  It was a beautiful evening of fun, food and fantastic worship.  Thank you to the crew that made the BBQ a delicious blowout!  The prayer time was so sweet and the worship was heavenly!  We love Rockpoint!

Missions Training at MTI in Colorado



Red Rock Canyon in Colorado Springs.




Our family returned from Mission Training International (MTI) on April 28th.  We had three intense weeks of spiritual, personal, lifestyle, interpersonal, cultural, and endurance/enjoyment (SPLICE) training.  Wow!  God worked us over and continues to use this training to prepare us for the mission ahead. 

Morgan and Ben also participated in age-relevant SPLICE training.  We met missionaries from all over the US and Canada who are serving all over the world.  We were blessed by our time at MTI.

Vision Trip

It's hard to believe it's been 3 weeks since we returned from our Haiti Vision Trip!  Our family was so blessed by the people we met and the sights we saw.  After one week at Grace Village with FanFan, Guilliame, and the children, it was so hard to leave.  We are excited for the work God is doing in Haiti and through the ministry of Healing Haiti.

 Love the Ammermanns
