Busy, Busy, Busy

It's been very busy around here and many things are going on right now. Kyle and Katie are back in school and Mary went home a few days ago (I miss you sweetie!). We are preparing for Darrell's next surgery which is scheduled on the 10th at 11a.m., and also getting ready for Katie's birthday! She will be 11 on the 17th. She is growing up sooo fast. This year she is in 5th grade and will soon learn how to play an instrument. She is trying to decide whether to play the violin or flute. We shall soon see.
We have received many donations this past week. Thank you to all of you that have donated. We currently have 3 boxes full of stuffed animals and care bears...thank you Laura! Medicine, pencils, clothing and even a child's plastic picnic table have all been donated! We are sending the picnic table to the RC. The children are served their meals on these tables and Licia is in need of more. The rest of the donations will be split up with half going to the RC/Clinic and the other half to Barbara in Port-au-Prince for the orphans in her care.
Flooding is still very bad in Haiti. Hundreds and dead, thousands and homeless. There is NO clean water for the RC and clinic right now. Please pray for Haiti tonight.

Haiti Needs Your Prayers!!

Please keep Haiti in your prayers. They are currently being hit by their 3rd hurricane in less than two weeks. Thousands of Haitians are now without homes, clothing, food and clean water. Many people have lost their lives in these storms and many more are still unaccounted for due to flooding and derbis. The river near the rescue center/clinic is still very swollen but was starting to recede,although now that more rain is being dumped on them it is sure to rise once again. They are almost completely out of clean drinking water. By tomorrow evening it will most likely be completely gone. With so many bottles to make, meals to cook, children to bathe, clothes to wash, and a full clinic and rescue center to keep clean, the loss of clean water could literally be the difference between life and death. We have not heard anything specific about the orphans in Port-au-Prince but I do know that a few towns outside of the city have been flooded and shelters have been set up in Port-au-Prince. Please keep all of Haiti in your prayers. Pray for their safety from the storms, strength to rebuild, receding flood waters, and clean drinking water.
