Yes, nine years ago, Sept. 10, we moved to Haiti. A new missionary spoke Sunday about thinking about our jobs or tasks as being gifts from God. A gift from God is how we see the last nine years serving and living in Haiti-as a privilege and gift.
Has it been easy-No. Many tears have flowed: happy, sad, even angry at times. But each event, good or bad has been used by the Lord to shape our lives.
I can gladly say that I am not the person I was 9 years ago.
Thankfully the Lord is still working on me!
Thankfully the Lord is still working on me!
I admit I would of been very tempted to skip some of the hard times if I had been given a choice. But the Lord wisely didn't give me a choice. Only He knows what the next nine days, months and years will hold for our family. We are looking forward to finding out-living each day in His love and grace.

Cory and Kris, we are Rick Gray's parents, and we were so thankful to see your link on Rick's Blog. Kris, we remember you well from UP Med. School days. Having spent some time in the Dominican on short term missions, I can picture where you are in that memory.
We are so thankful for you and your obedience. Yes, it is hard, however, when we stand before King Jesus, we will be so thankful we did His work, His way. We prayed for you today. God continue to bless you both and your beautiful children. Jane Gray
Cory and Kris, Anna and Eli,
We have gone 5 times to LaGonave to visit with hospital/workers, etc. with Sandy Lake Wesleyan and Dale has just recently visited our new church partnership in Port au prince in Aug. We are happy for you and know that even though it has not been easy, God has prevailed and we are all better for it. Hopefully someday we will be able to visit you in Fauche, also.
We continue to pray for your family.
Love,
Jan and Dale Anderson
