Hello to all,
We have gotten a few email concerning the storm, Gustav, going around our area. We are happy to report we didn't get any of the direct storm here in the north. We talked to a missionary in Port au Prince and they had some gusts, but not anything damaging. BUT, Gustav did cause us some problems. As we were leaving to go to the airport yesterday, we got a call that the airport was closed. MFI had already left Exuma and was headed our way. So, we went to the airport anyway. PTL we only had 4 passengers going out, and three were with us. After talking to several people and getting "emergency" permission, MFI was allowed to land. The bad part, they were not allowed to take off again. Interesting day. So, this morning, we waited and waited and finally got word that "maybe" they would let the plane take off in 2 hours. We loaded up and headed out there. Figuring that our presence would let them see we needed our plane in the air. We were out there from about 10:30 to 1:30. The confusion was in Port au Prince. When Port has bad weather, ALL airports in Haiti are shut down. Okay, now...we had blue skies yesterday, no rain or heavy winds....but we couldn't take off, since there was a storm CLOSE TO PORT!!! This morning again, great flying weather...but the airports remained closed...since Port had some gusts and rain. Nothing here, but, nope, couldn't take off. Every place else in the world, decisions are made airport to airport. NOT Haiti!!! So, now we pray that tomorrow they will let us fly. One of the passengers took some pictures of our "hurricane skies"...all mountains visible, some high clouds, and even some sunshine. And the wind sock at the airport hanging limply. Now THAT is frustration. But we have to believe that the Lord knows what is going on and why we had to sit and prod people here and in Port to see that the air space here was NOT a storm area. Everyone is back here relaxing and watching a movie. Not much else to do.
And yet, it's a blessing for us. Yup...had to scrounge and will do so again, for enough food to feed the crew and 2 passengers, but that's okay. God knows that too. We have the honor of being with our pilots and these great kids who were to fly yesterday. Interesting times we have here in Haiti.
That was just our update for today. We know there are those who are concerned, and we wanted to relieve some minds. We are fine, and praising God we didn't get the hurricane here. A lot to be thankful for.
Keep praying...MFI needs to get back to the US, and so do our passengers. Have a great day in the Lord, and keep praising!!!! Till next time...our prayers go out to you. As in
I Thess. 5:16 - 18 says, "pray always, in everything give thanks, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

About the same
Hello again,
Well, we haven't gotten any storms of hurricane proportions, but we have gotten some rain. It's been nice, it comes late in the evening and is done by morning. Sort of like when we first moved to Haiti. But then, we didn't have any lightening or thunder. We had nice showers at night and sunshine during the day. Yes, the weather patterns have changed. The last few nights we have had some heavy rains, but they didn't last long. There was thunder and lightening with it. The downside to all of this is the humidity...whew...during the day all you have to do is blink, and the sweat starts. Our night time lows have been almost down to 80, so that is an up part to the rains. Days are in the upper 90's and even higher.
This week Fay put our MFI flight off from Tuesday to Wednesday. Which meant two days at the airport in a row, since our Thursday flight was on schedule. But there wasn't a lot of work for us, since the cargo load was minimal and passengers were also low. Nice quick days, although we do a lot of MFI at home before and after the flights.
On Thursday, we got ready and left for the airport...and I told Don, boy, it feels like the brakes are on, and i know they aren't. We got out on the street, and I told him, something is WRONG...it was...we had a flat tire on the front. So, had to turn around and get the other truck.
Looking for something amusing??? Well, I copied part of our daughter-in-law's blog here for you. Yes, we know the gal she is talking about, and nope, not a surprise...she is a hoot!! (That's southern for really funny!) Here is her story...
My best friend called last night. She said, "Guess where I've been?" I guessed the right town but couldn't guess where. She finally told me she'd been in the ER. She broke her wrist...while pumping gas. How do you do that? you might ask. You have to understand that this is the person who has had her hair started on fire 3 times. She's accidentally killed a bird with her car antenna. She has gotten herself stuck in a dress in a fitting room in a store and had to be cut out of it. Weird things happen to her, okay? Anyway, she was in the hot sun and went to the back of her car to get out of it but she's fairly tall so she propped her foot up on the bumper to rest her elbow on it and get her head out of the sun. When she stood back up either her shoe or her pant leg got caught on the hitch and she fell backward. She said one second she was standing there and the next she was sitting on the ground trying to figure out what happened. The little girl in the station came out and asked her if she was okay. She said, "No. I'm pretty sure I just broke my wrist." This was spoken from her sitting position on the ground, squinting up at the girl. The good; the girl helped her up. The bad; said girl made her pay for the ice to put on her wrist. Friend was supposed to be meeting her hubby for dinner but they met for a nice evening in the ER instead.
Now, I'm really sorry for her breaking her wrist, but don't you think she could write a book about "LIFE" and it's happenings? It doesn't take much to entertain us here in Haiti. We love these goofy, but true stories. They help us look at life a bit different than we do normally.
On the other side of the coin...the amount of people coming here for help, for either food, medical or schooling, has gone WAY up. There are maybe 25 to 30 a day come for some sort of help. And most of them are really in need of it. We do have a few "professional beggars" who just beg to avoid work, but those are the few and far between. The country has gone down so far and things are so bad now. We help where we can, but it's one tiny drop in a very large ocean.
Abbie is learning so many new songs at school...but she only sings three of them at home, and those are OVER, AND OVER AND OVER again. Don asked the teacher to PLEASE teach her a new one now and then.
Our container was supposed to arrive on the 15th of August...it's not here. Our broker has been talking to the shipping company and trying to get some news...but nothing yet. Please pray with us that it will come soon, that the inspection will go quickly and that the cost will be more reasonable. I know it's a big request, but pray with us on it, okay?
For now, keep your chin up, look up, and praise the Lord for all the good things in your life. If you have a hard time finding something to praise about...try taking a deep breath, and thank God you can breathe. Then go from there. Have a super great day in the Lord!!!! Till next time....

A quick note...
I was just reading over my last posting, and I thought... gee, something is wrong with the layout on the right side. Then I realized... we don't have 2 great-grandsons, we have 3. Boy that sure ages us, huh? Well, maybe only a little bit since all three greats are still quite young. But gee...we have several grandkids that have graduated already...humm... maybe we ARE getting older.
Well, just wanted to correct that small oversight. Have a great day, keep smiling, it makes everyone wonder what you're up to. And keep God at the front of all you do. It's in Him we live, breathe and have our being. PTL!!!

The storm didn't hit us...
Hi there,
Not a lot of news on this end. Just praising God that the storm didn't hit us as a hurricane and we only got some minor showers out of it. It sure looked like we were going to get tromped with it, though. And the weather services kept warning us, too, along with the US Embassy. I guess God knew this area of the country could not survive being hit with a hurricane. Over the years, we have come close, but have not had a direct hit. God is good. I think a lot of that has to do with the way the people here pray. When something like that is on the way, the churches open their doors and you can come and pray 24 hours a day. One storm a long while ago, came across the northern coast of the island. It was huge. The people filled the churches and prayed together for it to turn. And, it DID. It hit the Haitian border and made a ninety degree turn to the north and we had only some mild wind and some rain from it. Weathermen and the US military could not believe it did that. But we serve an awesome God and HE can do ANYTHING He chooses.
We are anxiously waiting word on the container that was supposed to dock this last week. At this point, no word at all. Our broker is keeping a close eye on things for us. We've done the preliminary work and gotten the papers we need. So, it's another anxious time, waiting on the container. Keep that in prayer. Not only that it arrives soon, but that the cost will be more reasonable. Well, more reasonable for Haiti, anyway.
I took some photos of Abbie yesterday in her Sunday best. One of them is my favorite. Of course I redid some of it, but not Abbie herself. She is a joy. Yesterday we watched, via Internet some clips from past Olympics. So, now she is out there, doing her bends, flips and all sorts of things I'm sure are NOT in the Olympics. She is a hoot to watch.
Think I'd better cut this off and do some work here. It never seems to actually be finished. Always something else comes up. Until next time, keep smiling and give God the Glory for all things.

A new week, A new adventure (sort of)
Hello again,
Well, it's been a different week. We've had some fun and some work, both. On Monday we helped Kathy and Alice from the EBAC orphanage take about 120 people to the beach. Yes, there were a LOT of people. All of the people from the orphanage went, plus the workers, and then the families of some of the school kids were invited. We took a bus, the Eagle, and a car. All were packed tight. We went to a place called B&B Resort. It's an enclosed area on the ocean front not a long way from us. Eventually it will be a real resort, but for now, it's a place we can take teams and kids for a great day of fun. And we DID have fun. Don took the day and simply rested, which he needed. I went in the ocean with Kathy and Alice and the whole group. Trying to teach a child to float in high waves is not easy. Two of the kids did learn, somewhat. But the following photos show a bit of what it was like. The first two are two of the vehicles, before everyone was loaded.
This one is Don relaxing and reading. The whole day wasn't all this easy. Getting to and from the beach is a real experience. The road is pretty bad. We had rain the night before, so we were not sure we could make it out there. But we went through the huge puddles and did make it. It's a real stress factor driving when things are so muddy.
Here is a shot of the water fun. The smallest kids had their own "pool", which kept them safe and out of harms way. Everyone enjoyed their beach time.
This is most of the group. Some are not in the photo. It was nice there. We arrived at about 9 AM and left at 4 PM. Had a break at 11 for a sandwich and drink, then again at 2 for another sandwich and drink. Don brought inner tubes and they sure enjoyed them.
It was an enjoyable time and something the kids will remember for a long time. We used to take the kids to the beach at least once a year, but haven't for the last few years. You can see it's a huge undertaking. And everyone was exhausted by the time we got home. Some were sunburned, but not bad. We did take sunblock along. And yes, the Haitians do burn, just like anyone else. (Abbie is in the front row in the purple outfit. She LOVED the beach. And she loved being with all the kids, too. She is very social and loves school, so this was a real treat for her.
Tuesday took us to the airport again. It wasn't a long day, but airport days are tiring for us. They start long before we leave home and end long after we get back. We spent Wednesday trying to catch up on some work around here. Got some done and felt we accomplished a lot. There never seems to be a lull in things to do.
The situation with food and prices is still so bad. We have more and more people coming to the house. Many we have never seen before, but word gets out and they come here. Add to that the school costs have risen, and people are searching for ways to put their kids in school this year. Don has been overwhelmed with requests for help with schooling. And the medical needs continue to rise also. It's a never ending story here. The pain these people endure is something else. I don't think Americans could deal with the whole thing.
But God is good. Through all their troubles, they can smile and praise God and thank Him for what He does provide. Oh, that we were all that way.
Well, it's back to work again. Just wanted to do a quick "catch-up" and let you know what's happening here in HOT, HUMID Haiti. Our temps got DOWN to 80 degrees last night and we were so thankful for the break in the heat.
Keep smiling, keep praying and keep following the Lord!!!!

The rains came...
Hello again,
Well, I was right, we prayed for rain, and boy did it ever come!!! The funny thing was, it came while we had a university soccer team from Pennsylvania here to teach soccer. They were really good sports, though. They not only taught in the rain, they played some awesome games in the rain.
You can see from the above photo, it started out nice, with some blue skies, even. The girls did help and played with the kids, but the "real" games only had two of our guys in them. It was progress, though. The whole team did an excellent job!!
The team brought down uniforms, shoes, socks, balls, and even goal nets. (Now if that isn't the right phrasing, it's my fault...I don't know soccer terms). The team they played on was thrilled with the equipment.
You can see not only the rain, but the victory shouts (maybe you can't HEAR them, but you sure can see them). There was so much rain, they ended up having to cross two rivers to return to the truck. The team carried the girls and the head male coach across the rivers. Oh, the score was 4-0.
We've been busy since our return from the US. After the celebration on the 4th, we got down to some real work. We had a lot to catch up on, and I think we finally have made a dent. I ended up going back to Fort Pierce. I thought it was a short trip...Tuesday out and Thursday back in. I lost 2 fillings and had a dental appointment on that Wednesday. Well, problems don't seem to be only in Haiti. After sitting in the office for a while, then finally getting into the dental chair...I sat for 45 minutes before anyone came to see me. Then I spent another hour trying to convince them I had been there before (they misplaced my records), and having x-rays (they couldn't SEE the missing fillings???), and then to have the dentist say, I can't do this today, they overbooked me three times. I had to make an appointment to return on Friday. That appointment took me 20 minutes... and that included 2 fillings. The up side to this was that my brother and sister-in-law were at MFI helping out, and I got to spend the time with them, until I returned the following Tuesday. So, God did work out some neat things even with the frustration.
I came back in on Tuesday and our team came on Thursday. Me, being me, I ended up with a pinched sciatic nerve and was almost useless with the team. They were a great team and did wonderful, which shows me maybe I wasn't needed. But we did enjoy them.
The one game they played was not only in the rain, but in the thunder and lightening. But being wise university students, they stood under the tallest tree. Humm....??? Well, actually, it was the ONLY place to get out of the rain. They still ended up drenched, since they had to ride in the back of the Eagle. No cover there. But their spirit, and that of the team they played with was awesome.
We have a container on the way... prayerfully should be here by the 15th of August. Please keep that in prayer. We have started the paperwork on it and are praying BIG TIME that it will be cleared quickly and not cost as much as before.
We have been so thankful for the Eagle. The truck is a huge blessing to so many. But we just found out that we still owe $3000 on it. Pray with us that the Lord will help provide the money to pay back the interest free loan. Our God is able, and we know that, but we are asking for your help in praying for this need to be met.
You can see here how much this blessing is used. And this is only part of the team and the players and the fans.
Another prayer request, or actually a continuous prayer request is for our son and daughter-in-law. The adoption is still not moving and they are so VERY frustrated. Please pray with us that the Lord will start the papers moving and that this will come to a closure soon. They need to get him home with them soon.
It's time to get back to work. Don hauled sand and gravel today and is very tired, so have to get him some supper and send him off to bed. Abbie is already asleep...school wears her out. And her mama just headed to Port au Prince for some work related training.
Keep smiling, keep praying, and let God take control of all your situations. Our love to you all.
