I arrived in the states in the middle of October to help move my folks permanently to Florida. Sadly, Dad ended up in the hospital for a couple of those days. I was SO glad I was there and not in Haiti when this happened. The family was able to be a support system and surround he and my mom that week. And now they have been handed to their support system in Naples, which is overwhelmingly strong for them. They had someone to receive mom's car, someone to meet the moving truck, someone to meet them at the airport, and on and on! Dad is on the mends in Florida now... such a better place to recover for him!
Once he was given the green light to fly to Florida, I moved on too, over to Colorado for a week and a half, and then I'll move on to Washington. To visit colleges and help my daughter move!
Since arriving in Denver, I've spoken at church meetings and small groups every night, manned a table on Sunday with a short term missionary who is leading a team to Univers in 2015, and last night spoke at the "Wonderful Wednesday's" dinner featuring the Water Filtration Project that this team will be working on in and around Ouanaminthe, and they had me as the speaker at the dinner.
I've had successful, welcoming meetings with three colleges here in the Denver area and one more tomorrow... so far. I am still trying to meet with three more colleges before I depart Denver. I have been able to have telephone meetings with some potential financial sources so I feel God is sowing the ground for Denver to receive a few of our 2015 graduates, therefore there will be those reaping the blessings of having a student in their lives. It's all up to Him! I just ask Him to lead me to those with open hearts, minds and "pocketbooks"!
Thank you to the Neill's, the Eason's and the Rowley's for your most gracious and generous hospitality this week!
Love,
Marylee
Purpose of this blog
Personal missionary work as a coordinator for the college students who graduated from Institution Univers in Ouanaminthe, HAITI.
I act as a liaison for those currently in college and their sponsors, until the students have all graduated, whether in USA, Haiti or the Dominican Republic.
As well, I encourage those who have graduated from college but have not yet returned to Haiti, to return to fulfill the purpose of their education, for themselves, their families, their country and most importantly, for God.
