We are depending on the Lord for direction in everything we do. We are working to spread the gospel to the people of Haiti with the Baptist Haiti Mission while we wait to complete Lou's adoption. Our primary goal in life is to show the ultimate satisfaction in knowing our Lord Jesus Christ - we pray that God be glorified. This is our adoption/missionary story...

Do you need help getting anything back?
I will be going back with just my clothes and have an extra suitcase. I won't be back until November 23 but am willing to bring things if it works out.
What happens with your dog?
Thank you Debbie! That is such a great offer! I think we'll be OK, but if not, I'll let you know! We'll be giving our dog away tomorrow and will miss her, but have little choice.
Good luck on your trip. Wishing you a safe and uneventful trip. Hope Oreo likes her new home.
