My name is Cheryl and I live in Rochester, MN, which has been my home for 44 years. My husband, Ruben, and I have three grown children Brian, Rhonda and Jessica. Brian and his wife Teresa have three children, Emma (13), Sam (10) and Jonathan (7). They also live in Rochester and I get to see them often and attend many soccer, hockey and baseball games! Rhonda and Chris’s children are Ben (10), Annabel (7) and Ruby (4) and they live in Plymouth, MN. We have made many trips to the Twin Cities to watch their activities and school programs as well! I am blessed to have 6 grandchildren that keep me very busy! Our youngest, Jessica, is volunteering and serving in Haiti at Grace Village for the next year.
I am going to Haiti to witness firsthand what God has called Jessie to do and see what she is so passionate about. I am looking forward to meeting all the children at Grace Village that she loves so dearly and helps to care for. Jessie has a blog http://healinghaiti-jessica.blogspot.com/~jessicaburmester . Please check it out she is a much better writer than I am!
I know this mission trip will be a life changing experience for me, as we witness the desperate poverty and suffering in Haiti. But it will also give me comfort to experience what Jessie is doing and see where she is living.
