My prayers are with you Bill, Tamara and Caleb! Just what you need, more excitement :O)
In all Rebekah’s travels and anxiety provoking moments for me I just keep remembering what a missionary told me once. “There is no safer place to be than in God’s will.” It certainly has put me at ease with her being in Haiti and I hope it gives you peace too.
God’s Blessings to you,
Debbie

Thanks for posting an update so fast. I was just reading the
news reports on Cyclone Larry. My parents had a house lifted
in the 1970′s and I remember how much the house would
sway just from us walking in it and couldn’t imagine how your
house would survive winds that strong.

p.s. One of my favorite memories of having the house lifted and
a new basement put under was the people who came to visit.
The only way to get into our house at the time was to “walk
the planks” – the 10 ft plus long planks – over the very deep
ditch to the back door. We always told those who thought the
walk was to scary that they could go in the front door.
That door was about 15 feet up in the air with no way to get
to it. LOL
