So much has happened lately and all of a sudden it is time for my husband and I to leave. He has been here over a month and has fixed screens, changed oil in truck and generator, fixed so many things, painted, fixed our pipes to bathroom and kitchen, fixed toilets, fixed ceiling fans and light fixtures, cleaned up yard and depot, and the list goes on. the kids love him and so do the nannies. It will be sad to leave that's for sure but yet also nice to get out of this heat and see our family back in the states.
Mark and I stayed one night in a very rich part of Haiti called Petionville. We attended our friends book signing party and I got my photo taken with the Prime Minister of Haiti. (will enclose soon). We met some really nice people and had a great time. It was fun to get away.
Our biggest sponsor and his friend came to visit. That was the Spiritual, powerful, exciting weekend ever!! Mark my husband was here so that made it even more special. We have great plans for the mission and that includes building a new orphanage so we can get more handicapped children.
We already have people coming next fall and winter and so many exciting plans.
Please pray we find the right land. I have now changed direction and am looking for land on the ocean where we will almost always have a breeze and it will be much more tolerable. Swimming is great therapy for our kids especially the handicapped.
Our goal right now is to raise $20,000 to $25,000 for solar power to run fans alnight, my one air conditioner and our refrigerator. It would be so amazing to have some cool air and not to buy ice all the time for the cooler. things we so take for granted in the states.
We have a new orphan Valadamy age 17. He has no family at all and had to drop out of school because he had no money. Often he went without eating. He is a huge help around here and such a blessing and is so grateful to be back in school and have a home. I took care of him years ago in my old orphanage and cared for his mother until she died. He looks so much like her and is such a sweet boy. A good mentor for the rest of the children. He loves to teach the two cerebral palsy kids and my friend Kandice a physical therapist gave him lessons to do with the two boys. Valadmy does them and even more!! What a huge blessing!!
More later....Because of Christ, Ann
