This year we are separated for the holidays. Mike, Trinity and Grace are together in Haiti as Susie went back to Ohio to stay with Grant, help out with her dad, and eventually go see…our new grandson in Illinois!!

Welcome to the world Eugene Richard Walder, born to Evan and Leah December 23!

Backing up a bit now…we returned to Haiti the end of September and almost immediately were able to move to another missionary residence at Cite Lumiere. It was a lot of work but we really like it at the “new” place!

Soon after we moved we had a few waves of visitors! First, Grant came for about three weeks! We had him fly to Jeremie and picked him up there. It was a lot safer and way less traffic than driving in to Port-au-Prince. We sure had some fun times with him!

Next, Rich Pfister and Rob Lehman came for a week to support Child Sponsorship in a list of ways. We enjoyed these guys, their generous time and great encouragement to our ministry here!

Most importantly, we are thankful to God for His provision through seven years in Haiti. We moved here December 17, 2013! There are so many stories but the bottom line is God is always faithful!
