Yesterday the men worked on the coops and we ordered the chickens to be delivered on Monday (that's the plan- you never know in Haiti) and the women/Zach taught the lessons, played a bit with the orphans and then sorted LOTS of clothing donations which we will hopefully give the children on Monday. We got water at about 10 pm. last night by using the generator so that was a blessing. Today we will go to church and then see a bit of the countryside.

| Working on the chicken coops- they are done now except for ramps to get in and some bedding. :) |

| Sorting a LOT of clothes- each girl will get a dress (and a pillowcase dress if they are 12 or under), two pair of new underwear, two tops, one bottom (skirt or shorts) and a pair of play shoes (we will buy some new ones on Monday for those we do not have sizes for)..... |

Bryan,
ReplyDeleteSince you haven't posted again, we decided to hijack a post to send you our love.
The kids love seeing the pictures of you and the guys building the chicken coops.
(Katie, I love Kylie's name choices!)
Sadie wants to tell you, "Hi Daddy! When are you gonna get home?"
Jude says " I love you Daddy!"
And I love you most!
We are so proud of your hard work and willingness to serve- even in the crazy hot weather.
(Sadie says, "Hi, Daddy" again)
We are praying for you all, especially for a cool breeze to head your way.
Love,
Jenna, Jude, Sadie, and baby Kinsey
THANK YOU for the pictures. And thank you God for electricity to allow the sending of the pictures; and the recharging of computer batteries and filling of water tanks!! God is good!
ReplyDeleteWe have a family friend working/serving in the Middle East that asked that I send a post for her; ensuring safety all around. She has been on her knees for the entire team and is part of that "small army" that Char speaks of. She relayed that she appreciates the blogs and the specifics that are shared; and the privilege to lift all of you and your needs to our Father.
(Thank you my dear friend K. -- if you are able to read this. So grateful for your life and example!)
May you all enjoy a time of fellowship this morning Haitian style!! Another thing on the list we look forward to hearing about!
Love,
Karen/Mom
