When we lived in Haiti, there was nothing that could generate more anticipation, excitement and joy for our family than to have a visitor from Indiana. We would set aside time and make plans, eager to introduce our American friends to the food, the sights and the people that we loved in Haiti.
Today felt much the same, only this time we are in Indiana and we are welcoming our first Haitian visitor, a former student to Melissa and me and a former classmate to Samuel, Hannah, and Caleb. I picked her up at the Indianapolis airport this evening and we had a late dinner after Hannah and Samuel got off of work.
Maxiane just finished her first semester in American higher education, at Pensacola Christian College.
By all reports Maxiane is off to a fantastic start and it does not surprise us. She has smarts, personality, faith, compassion, and a strong family. We were especially glad - but not surprised - to hear that she felt her years at Cap-Haitien Christian School prepared her well for college in the States.
We're glad to have her with us for the week, to catch up on what the Lord is doing in her life and to introduce her to the food, sights and people of Indiana.
That's so awesome! Maxiane is one of my favorite people. I'm so glad she was able to visit you guys. Please tell her Mr. Adams said hello.
