I hope it warms up some

Hello again from the cold country.  A lot going on.  We got here a week ago last Friday.  On Saturday had fellowship with some friends.  We were praying for a place to stay, since our daughter was sleeping on the uncomfortable couch and we would be here a while.  She said it wasn't that uncomfortable, but we know different.  But it didn't look like there would be a place to rent.  Sunday after church a couple we had not met offered us a cabin to stay in. It is beyond an answer to prayer.  It's beautiful.  We have a 2 bedroom HOUSE!  On the lake.  And our "landlords" live right next door.  They are awesome Christians.  Some of the surrounding homes have Christian families in them, too.  Isn't God GOOD???  The only downer at this point is the weather, but we are praying it will warm up soon.  The snow flurries this AM threw us a bit, but it's now in the 40's and prayerfully rising.  


We both had our eye doctor appointments and are done with those until the new glasses come in.  Dealing with some minor medical things...like allergies to the sprouts trying to pop out here.  Spring should be interesting.  


It's been so good to see so many of our friends again.  And meeting new ones is a blessing, too.  We were doubly blessed when we found out that Pastor Codo (Jean Claude Cimeus) and his family (attending school in Chicago for 2 years) were at church this last weekend.  It's funny to find our Haitian friends here in the cold north.  But we sure enjoyed being with them for a short time.


I thought I'd put a few photos here for you.  The first one is Vero with Carolyn and Rodney in West Palm Beach, our good friends.  That was still in Florida, where it was warm!!!

The next ones are our house here.  It is just the right size for us and so wonderful.  We are thankful for Bud and Sharon for their open, warm hearts in offering this great retreat for us. 

 

For now, we'll ask you to keep praying for us as we are here.  God is providing a great resting place and time for us.  Till next time, keep the Lord at the center of all you do.  He is more than anyone could expect and we praise and honor Him for His faithfulness.
