Home is where the heart is….
If this is true than my heart belongs to lots of places. I am currently in the Miami airport waiting on my flight to Nashville to see my parents for a few days, spend some time with my Diocese of Alabama friends, and head back to my seminary friends in Austin. I parted ways, tearfully, with Kellaura and she is on her way to Austin.

Laundry…
Laundry might seem like a silly thing to write about, but today it has been on my mind. I take my wonderful big washing machine and dryer for granted. But, the ladies here take great pride in cleaning the laundry.

Haiti Blog Post 14- The Road to Crochu
Haiti Blog Post 14- January 18, 2012
Today we went to one of Pere Val’s Churches, St. Alban’s, in Crochu. Crochu is located on the top of a mountain and the road to get there is rough and very scary. I was really hesitant to go to Crochu. I went there in October of 2007 and I have not gone back since then because I remembered how scared I was on the drive there. Today was no different. The entire drive I closed my eyes and repeated over and over God keep us safe.
Q& A- What did we have for breakfast?
What did you have for breakfast?- Vivian Orndorff
Vivian, great question! The food can sometimes be an issue for me because I am a picky eater. This morning I had a banana (as I do every morning), two slices of cheese and some wonderful juice. Kellaura had the same thing minus the cheese but a hard-boiled egg. Other items we have had for breakfast are oatmeal, pancakes, and scrambled eggs. Carmel is a great cook and is feeding us well!
We miss you!

What does the bathroom look like?- Eric Holloway
Eric, I love your question! The bathroom looks great! Although there is no hot water, the shower is huge and the sink and toilet are very lovely. I hope you enjoy the picture!
We miss you!
