In May 2011, Larry had felt it was necessary for me to see a third-world country first hand as we were praying about teaching for a year in Haiti. That ensuing four day visit was the start of our remarkable adventure on the mission field, as Go-Net missionaries with The Wesleyan Church. The rest, as they say, is history.
That long week-end ...
The three week visit the following October to get our apartment on the mission compound settled, get the computer lab organized and make initial contacts for the English class.
The year commitment to teach adults in Anse-a-Galets, on the island of La Gonave.
The return home to SC in late December.
And now, the anniversary trip to provide a bridge class for our students and to transition the new teacher into the program.
The trip to south Florida was not uneventful!
 |
| On the way down Interstate 95 in south Florida, we were startled to realize the highway went right next to a raging forest fire! |
 |
| We noted we weren't seeing any bikers along the road on the beautiful May day yesterday. Then, it dawned on us - this is "love-bug" season in Florida! |
Today, we are now back in Ft. Pierce, Florida, having taken our crates with more computers, other teaching supplies and records, things from the states requested by the missionaries, our gear, etc., to the Missionary Flights International hanger for weighing and to be loaded on the DC-3.
 |
| Only eight crates this trip, compared with 16 when we moved down for our year in Haiti! |
 |
| One of MFI's faithful, refurbished DC-3 planes which makes the trip to Haiti two times each week. |
So, we'll return to the MFI hanger at 6:00 in the morning; take-off will be at 7:00.
And, on into the next chapter of our Haiti adventure!
Stay tuned!
