PEACE to everyone this Christmas. We are happy once again to be celebrating Christmas in Haiti. We’ll be singing and feasting, hiking, and spending time together and also, PACKING. We are getting ready to leave Haiti (in mid-February). Like many who leave Haiti, we’re not exactly sure where we are going. But, as they say in Creole, "Bondye bon", God is good. We have grown here in Haiti during the past five years, not just grown in love with our two Haitian-Canadian children but also in our faith in an plan (an adventure) that is so much bigger than us. We have grown in our faith in God. Gabriela has been taking about Père Noel's birthday this whole month and Matt and I have been talking about Jesus' birthday. Then (finally) the other day she asked: "Kote Jezi?", Where is Jesus? and Matt responded: He's around here somewhere. Hope you are also in the presence of the Divine this Christmas.

IMMANUEL, God with us, ALL of us.
