Well, it keeps getting hotter and muggier here. OH MY STARS!! I hope my husband and I don't melt before we get home. He arrived over a week ago from Antarctica and what a change of weather for him. The kids and I met him at the airport with a big sign that read WELCOME BACK MARK!! So far he has done more than any other person that has been here. Fixing sinks, toilets, kitchen drain, lights, fans, hanging a curtain, working on my truck, cleaning the yard and roofs with the kids, cleaning our garbage pit, rocking the two kids asleep that are upstairs with us, helping me deicide on major and minor decisions, fixing the stair rails, cleaning out the depot and getting rid of junk and honestly the list goes on. Thank YOU Jesus for sending me Mark to my rescue.
Kesmy was here for two weeks with 11 others from Moody Bible Institute. That was a wonderful group with a married couple who were the leaders. It was so refreshing to see the young college students serve JESUS and be so close to HIM. They made a difference and sure spread the word with Vacation Bible School for kids with puppets, skits, crafts and even fed them. AMAZING!!
I only have three more weeks here and need to accomplish so much so please pray about that. Will try to blog sooner.
A physical therapist and her niece came for a four day weekend last weekend and wow that was great. she worked with our cerebral palsy boys and made and impact. Her niece Shelby hung out with the kids the whole time and has already emailed me about returning.
Sometimes it is really tough here and I want to give up. I get discouraged and the older kids drive me absolutely crazy.
But God has a great way of making things better and if we stay closer to HIM and spend more time with Him then we won't have time for satan to attack us.
talk to you soon, ANN (full of grace) so true, glad my Mother named me that.

The two photos I posted tonight are of our neighbors who are cutting wood in the field next to us right outside my balcony where I sleep. Two men cut wood and the wife and two little kids sit by them while she makes rice and beans. One day we took the men two big bottles of ice cold water. such hard work and looks like the early 1800's. So much of Haiti is that way.
Kesmy arrived with a group of 11 people from Moody Bible Institute who are staying at Kesmy's village for 7 nights then my house for 5 nights. I helped them buy food and water to take then I drove some of them and all the supplies in my truck and Zagalo who works for us also took the rest of the group and all their luggage in the big truck.
I found a girl for a couple that was adopting and gave $38,000 to the organization that became corrupt. It is such a blessing that we found her and the biological mom still wants to give her up. She is a single mom living in a thatch hut with 5 kids. It is hard to comprehend why these woman continue to have babies that they cannot take care of . Now we will look for the boy in a different town and pray we can find him for this couple who have hired an attorney to complete the adoption if it is still possible.
It is often a struggle to live here and take care of the kids and be without my family. It is a very different world here and hard to understand unless you have been here. Please pray for the kids and our workers.
thanks for your prayers and financial support, Annie
