We were blessed to have one of my best friends, Christin Mohon, arrive on November 1! Phoebe Kate and I both were just beyond overjoyed to have her with us for a week! And it was a very important week for us… so thankful that she was able to come!

Phoebe Kate and I have been staying at the Barlow’s since
May. We are so thankful for their generosity and allowing us to be a part of
their family and their home for 6 months! What a blessing! – But it wasback in
September that the Lord began to put it on my heart that Phoebe Kate and I
needed to be somewhere that we could call “home” until we are able to come home
officially. I prayed, my friends prayed, my family prayed… the Lord opened a
door :) No surprise to us here! He is so faithful and Hisprovision is never
late but is always right on time.
On November 5, with the help of some of my amazing friends,
Phoebe Kate and I made the move from the busyness of the city of Port-au-Prince
into the mountains of Thomassin. – The Lord provided a precious house with
precious neighbors and we are so thankful to call this place our home!

It’s just Phoebe Kate and I in our house for now, but our
friends Rhyan and Annabel will be joining us in January! We are really looking
forward to sharing life with them in our new home! Rhyan is a Midwife-To-Be
student as well and has a precious 1-year-old daughter (who just happens to be
Haitian)! Thanking the Lord for her friendship and looking forward to the
encouragement, support, and grace we can provide each other as we have so much
in common!

So some of you may be wondering what this means for Phoebe
Kate and I? – We are still walking through the adoption process (waiting on
IBESR to reopen so our dossier can be submitted), I am still going to the U.S.
every 2 months for 2 weeks for work in the ER, and we are praying and asking
the Lord to open doors for work as a nurse here if that is what He desires from
me in this season of life!
Not only was Aunt Christin here to help us with our BIG
move… she was also here to help me take Phoebe Kate to the Pediatrician for the
first time (exam, immunizations, blood work)! It was a really big day for
Phoebe Kate but she was such a BIG GIRL! I was amazed… actually astonished… at
how well she handled herself for a 3 year old! And Aunt Christin was there… she
helped keep me calm, too :)

Since Aunt Christin’s departure on the 8th we
have spent our days making this our home! It has been so fun for us and we
truly LOVE our new space! --- Trusting, believing, and waiting on the Lord to
show us what to do from here as we wait on His good and perfect timing for this
adoption to be finalized. We are still learning and growing as mother and
daughter and we are soaking up our days together! Please continue to pray for
us through this transition.
