Trip so far...

Many of you know I am back in Haiti so I wanted to give an update of whats been going on so far on this trip. So far we have..... 

-visited the orphanage (meeting with the Nannies/paid them, meeting with pastor's son who is in charge currently/paid school tuition & April spinsorship, handed out translated sponsor letters, did a "walk-through" to see how things are going & check out improvements, etc).

            (Lorvencia with her letter)

-met with an eye doctor scheduled to do exams on the children at Life is Wealth during the week of April 19th. 

-visited the girls in Mirebalais (took them seeds to plant; went shopping at the market for food-none had eaten that day and they were only eating maybe once per day for a while now; had some great discussion about future plans/goals, orphanages vs. reunification with family, etc. they are planning to come stay with me for a week this summer!!

     (Jesula and her daughter)

  (Showing off all the food we got for about $50 US)

  (Shopping together and having "girl-time"-- they taught me a TON about shopping in a market in Haiti)

 (The countryside is so beautiful and peaceful-I love it there and thank God for the time away from the city)

-we have balanced receipts and filed reports from both Redgi & James. A LOT has happened since my last visit and wea are blessed to have the ministry in such capable hands when I am not here. 

-we have found out the bill (finally!!) for the hospital stay from the baby back in December/January. It came to about $600 US so we plan to pay that tomorrow. 

Overall, it has been a busy but BLESSED trip so far! Hard to believe it has only been four days-whew!!!
