"See You Later" Doesn't Get Easier

Goodbyes are never easy. If there is anything that we have learned in the eleven months that we have lived in Haiti, it is that goodbyes, or “see you laters” (as we prefer to say it) don’t get any easier, no matter how often you experience them. Today we said “see ya later” to great friends that we have spent eleven months getting to know. The Seel family finished up their five years of ministry in Haiti this morning as they packed up the last of their life here, in preparation for their move back to Germany. They were such a blessing to our family as we moved in and started to adjust to life here. This picture was taken this morning as the boys played one last video game together before their departure. Our boys have been dreading this day for quite awhile, in fact, last night one of them said that today was “going to be the worst day of my life” because they knew that their friends are moving. This year has brought a lot of difficult “see you laters”, but God is teaching us through each one. We are so thankful to God for placing the Seel family in our lives, even if that time was far too short for any of us. Our prayers go with you, Daniel, Alex, Jeremy, Caitlin, and Colin; we look forward to seeing what God has planned for your lives. We know that He has big things ahead for each of you.
