Today was a beautiful day!!! It was windy, overcast and in the high 70's which is cool for Haiti.  I have to admit I love it when the sun doesn't shine.

Yesterday I had to go to Port au Prince to take two girls to the airport and run a few errands. It is about a 1 1/2 hour drive.  Jennifer from Pennsylvania is here with  me for one month so I took her for the experience. she has been a tremendous help to me and also is working everyday with our two mentally challenged mute boys.  Actually Lorens can make sounds but cant pronounce anything. He now can say mmmmmmmmm.  He is a smart boy with cerebral palsy.  Our other 8 year old boy Robertini has only been with us for one week and we don't have a diagnosis on him. He may also have a different type of cerebral palsy. He makes no sounds except for screeching occasionally.

A wound specialist was here and Rosettes foot is so much better and no more packing it. She was a huge blessing. Then an American stopped by to borrow some tools and he knows all about generators and inverters. Another blessing!!! He fixed our inverter that wasn't working at all and he found out that our generator was only working on half the power and that is why  it kept getting overloaded and would turn out the lights. He will be back tomorrow when he has more time to work on it. God is so good and I always have so much grace and blessings from HIM!

Six of our children failed the last marking period. We were very surprised. Not fun and games for them for awhile. We were shocked and are working with the teachers and school director.

We have four boys attending the American school. Wesley in kindergarten has an excellent report card and the other three made the honor roll. Three more boys at another school get their cards this Friday.

These children are challenging and  a lot of work.  With 18 children and some handicapped there is always a problem or a situation that needs attention. Thank God I have excellent help and a great cook to keep us running

Am working on our adoptions and there have been many challenges to make it very very difficult. I meet with a director  and our social services on Monday in Port au Prince. Please pray our three boys adoptions will still be able to happen and God opens doors.

Bless you all and thanks for reading.  :)
