Praises: Ellie accepted Christ Sept. 6th
We bought our plane tickets to move to Haiti (Nov. 10th)
Prayer Requests: For our family (This is a very stressful time)
For the Lord to send the right trucker, shipper and receiver for our container
For the Lord to provide us with a towable boom lift 50' Pray for us to get the right crane to lift the container onto the right truck to take it to the right port to have the right receiver to get it thru customs and to our property in Haiti and a crane to unload it on our compound. Also we have a trailer and a UTV we are sending and have to get thru customs.
I never thought the day would come when we actually had a date to move to Haiti. Well now we have it and I am overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, and all those other emotions us women get.
We are leaving on November 10th. That is just a little over a month away. (THAT IS ONLY A MONTH AWAY!!!!) Please pray for my sanity. The Lord knows this is the right time, but I have been praying for this for a long time and now that it is here I am praying for more time. There is so much to be done on our end, mainly getting all the things we will need to take with us on the plane.
We speak in Danville KY next Wed night. So we have about 10 days to get everything done before we leave to take stuff to Florida, then we go to Mississippi for our missions conference and back to Hendersonville Nov 4th then to SC and gone to Atlanta the 9th.
We will shut the doors on the container Thursday the Oct 11th. At first we thought how are we going to fill this thing up now we are praying for wisdom on deciding what to squeeze in there. It filled up faster than we thought. Nicky has spent hours packing the container trying to use every square inch. Like a big puzzle it is exhausting.
Thank everyone for your prayers and support. We couldn't do any of this without it. People praying for us is what is helping and encouraging us make it through the day.
Kristie, How exciting! We have been thinking of you and I look forward to sharing this news with the kids tonight at dinner. We will be praying for you during these busy days. May the be full of his grace and strength in these last days. I have been encouraged myself with all the tasks of caring for the family with this verse last week: "Therefore, my brothers (sister), be steadfast, immovable, abounding in the work of the Lord knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." 1 Cor. 15:58. May God help you to be steadfast, abounding in work knowing that God will help you and bless you and give grace. Caroline Perez, SC
