Christmas card fundraiser & other surprises

I came home for Christmas late last week to find out that my little sister has created & sold "Hope for Haiti" Christmas cards to help fund my trip back to RENMEN... that my mother has collected FRENCH children's books (gently used from church friends).... and that to my great surprise the entire family is supportive and behind my return trip, despite the situation there. This has been the best Christmas visit so far ever. We went to get a French bible today (since Father Michel isn't returning I wanted to have one with us) and were overjoyed to discover a Creole new testament as well as French bible-story coloring books, and stickers. Those were Christmas presents to me from my sisters. The only Christmas present I wanted this year was to enjoy these 10 days with my family and to be used to bring some joy to the kids at RENMEN, God willing, for the time we'll be there. I'm so grateful right now for my family coming along side me in this. God is so good!
