This is going to be a short one. I just wanted to keep you updated on my life and plans. Big things are afoot!
After quite a bit of prayer and lots of helpful advice (my favorite piece: "ask your mom"), the Lord has led me to stay in Florida when I leave Haiti. That's right, my dear friends, family, neighbors, and brothers and sisters in Christ: our little group is about to be disbanded. While I have struggled a great deal with the pressure I felt to live according to human expectations, God has given me a lot of peace about this course of action, and I am confident that I am pursuing the correct path.
But my work is not nearly over. Jean has some plans for me while I'm in Florida to continue my work on his behalf, and the work for the next week or so has intensified immensely. I've been working on finding a pair of projectors for Jean's church; they are very high-quality, and are difficult to find for under four thousand dollars. I just found a pair of refurbished projectors of the precise model with brand new lamps for $1500 each. That is, both of them together will be less than a pretty good deal on one of them. This comes at a very fortunate time, because I can use my return ticket to Haiti to ship things over here more safely and with less risk.
Personally, I am setting about the formidable task of searching for a job and a place to live in Florida. I am very excited about the next chapter of my life, and I am eager to make the most of it. My goal is to establish a lifestyle with sufficient income to make a significant contribution to Jean's ministry. We'll see how that goes.
Naturally, these updates will cease by March 23rd. You've been a fantastic, encouraging group of people and have brought countless smiles into my life. Smiles are worth their weight in gold.

Attention: I will be starting a new newsletter, if any of you are interested. In honor of my new location and in recognition of the irony in my change in circumstance, it will be named FUN - the Floridan Update Network. I will not be moving anybody over to this new list automatically, so if you'd like to be added, please let me know.
On March 23rd, I will travel to Florida to hang out with my mother and my Grandfather until the 29th. Please direct all packages and letters to my Grandfather's address so that I can pick them up when I get there. Nothing sent from now on will reach me fast enough to reach me. This is my current contact information:
Phone Number (cell): 011-509-617-7720
Address for Letters & Packages (temporary): Dan Kaschel, c/o Jack Mendillo, 6746 Aliso Ave., West Palm Beach, Fl, 33413
Effective March 23rd, I will be reachable at the same old number: 231-631-3016.
God Bless,
Dan
