It's all over but the packing! Early departure on Thursday for Haiti. Thanks for all your support! If you are interested in our progress down there, visit the blog at http://haiti.rezmissions.org/.

We arose on our last day to a sunny morning. Jill & Rudy met for one last time with the CHE leadership team and provided them with planners for keeping track of their CHE work. They were very grateful & excited to receive these.
