Two Worlds

"Welcome back home!" is always the response I get now that I am back in Louisiana for the summer.
Home. This is home-it is the place where I grew up, where my family lives, where I have many friends, and where my church is. However, I cannot help but think that I am not home. Haiti is home. It is where my ministry is, where my fellow missionaries are, where my Haiti church is and all my Haitian brothers and sisters are. So Haiti is home; but so is Lafayette, LA. I find myself torn between two completely different worlds.

In Louisiana, I have all the familiarity, comfort, and good food.






In Haiti, I have my students, my community, and the simplicity of life.








So where does this leave me? Well, for now, I will continue to be between the two as I prepare to return to Haiti in the fall. I need help to get there though. As with the last two summers, I am fundraising to return and continuing teaching at Cite Lumiere Christian School. My goal is $5,000 for the year.

#LifeInHaiti

School is in session : Do you remember those back to school jitters? Asking questions like, What to wear?, What will my teacher be like?, Will I have any friends? Well, my back to school questions were different. What will teaching in Haiti be like? Will my students understand me? Am I going to die in this heat? As I sat in chapel with my new students, I had an overwhelming feeling of "This is going to be a great year!" So far, I was right. God has blessed me with amazing student who are hard workers, diligent, and competitive-just like their teacher. We love playing games. We play review games for tests as well as fun games to give our brains a break. Students even get to compete against the teacher. While it has been a challenge teaching two separate grades at the same time, it is definitely a rewarding experience. A Surprise Visit : One day in class, I received a surprise. Pastor Solvat from The Bayou's sister church Petit Trou, was in Les Cayes along w...

Ready. Set. Go!

Ready -Bags are packed. Set -Plane ticket is bought. Go -I leave Monday, August 28, 2017 for Haiti! After months of praying, preparation, and packing, it is time for me to follow God's call on my life and head to Haiti to begin the school year with my 6th/7th grade class. I am quite excited about this new journey in my life. I know there will be many joys and struggles along the way. I look forward to both as I continue to be a fully devoted follower of Christ. It is always hard to say goodbye to friends and family, but I am grateful to have such an amazing support system. Though I am going now, I am not yet fully funded. I have raised half of the amount I need to teach there for the entire school year. If you feel led to join me on this adventure by supporting me, you can do it either monthly or a one time gift. Checks can be made to RMI with Joslynn Stakes in the memo line mailed to RMI 5475 Lee Street, Suite #301, Lehigh Acres, FL 33971 or you can give online at  ww...
