Long drawn-out sigh of relief ...

8 Livesays
1 fabulous friend (Joanna)
18 - 50 lb checked luggage bags
6 - carry-ons
6 - backpacks
1- Mac disguised in an old lady giant purse to avoid customs taxes ...
ALL made it home to Haiti and lived to tell about it!
We are happy and exhausted.
So thankful to start the New Year out this way!
More numbers later. Unpacking, reuniting, and sleep must come first.

Wonderful news to hear that you have made it safely. You do not know me; a friend shared your blog with me and I have been reading it ever since and keeping you in prayer. You are an inspiration and great example of giving Him your all. I hope to return to PAP in February for another short mission trip. Many blessings on you and your family in the next leg of your adventure. Rest up! Kindly, Tracy

Yay! I can't wait to write a similar post after our big move. Yours sounds even more overwhelming than ours, in many ways. But it'll still be nice to have it behind us. Love you guys - and praying for you as you resettle/reenter.

I am so glad you made it home. I have learned so much from following your exploits during 2010. You have become a staple in my family's conversations. I no longer have to explain who you are anymore. I can just announce, "The Livesays have a cool Christmas video", or "The Livesays are now headed back to Haiti".

But what I really want to say is, thank you for being God's hands and feet. Thank you for being so transparent about your struggles. Thank you for inspiring me and my family. Thank you for providing a forum where we can share your sorrows and joys.
