Return to La Gonave

October is here!  This is the month we return to Haiti for a 3-week organizing visit - to buy a bed and mattress for our duplex, comb through and organize curricula for ESL classes, install the new server and configure the 10 laptops for computer classes, meet with some of the seventy or so continuing students (Lord willing) and begin to get to know the other missionaries on the compound, begin to get a feel for La Gonave and Anse a Galets (the town in which we will be living), sew curtains and cover sofa cushions, etc., etc. - and we can't wait!

But, alas, delays happen.  And, they just might build some character! 

The fact is, we will be going a week later than originally planned.  Missionary Flights International, ( a private non-profit aviation service to Christian missions serving in Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas), 

the plane on which we and a number of Rubbermaid crates will head to Port-au-Prince, didn't have room for us on the 20th, which was when we had our hearts set on traveling. 
 
So we booked our seats on the 27th.  One additional week to get organized and ready - a good thing; one more week to wait ....  

Breathe deeply; we're on the Lord's timetable.
