fixing the house and leaving the country

Wow, the house is nearly complete! After several weeks of entertaining workmen in our home, while trying to work out of it at the same time, we are thankful to see them go :) The job foreman is the only one here today, as he does a little touch up paint, and prepares the rear exterior wall for its paint job. All the major repairs (hole in the wall, new roof, new siding, new windows and doors...) are complete! Let's pray for no more natural disasters in the neighborhood this year.

So, by the time we return from our trips on the 9th of June, our house should be 100% complete!

We leave tomorrow morning with Bill and Laura from Loyola for our 10 day missions excursion to Port-au-Prince Haiti. Please pray for us!

After that exciting trip, Jen and I will celebrate with a week of vacation on the beach in Florida--praise the Lord!

We'll post some pictures and stories of everything when we return.
