A great Sunday

Hello again,
Yesterday was a great day. Accomplished a lot, but the highlight is always Sunday service. English Bible Fellowship has a slow down time in the summer. Many missionaries take that time to go stateside and visit churches and family.

But we had a good service. And the neat thing is, we have more and more English speaking Haitians attending. We have so enjoyed the guest speakers, too. But yesterday the scheduled speaker didn't show. No problem here, you go with the flow.

I think the highlight of the service was that Dr. Bibiana was there. She left Haiti quite a while ago, to serve with Medical Ambassadors in the Dominican Republic. She and her family have spent the last year in Canada, and will remain there until her son graduates from high school. But it was great to see her heart is still with the Haitian people. She is planning on a way to help, even though she is not here.

We were able to see some of "our kids" this weekend, too. Saw several of our former puppeteers and their babies. It was good to feel remembered when little Dorothy Lynn wanted Grandma when she got here. And when it was time to leave, she came to me and laid her head down. Even the babies are growing so fast!! Oliane came with Hyadley. I told her how upset I was that I could not be here when precious Rose Shirley went to be with the Lord. She is dealing, but still hurting. Please keep her in prayer.

It's hot here, just like in a lot of the USA, but our humidity has put a damper on things...no pun intended. An example is when you get out of the shower, and before you can completely dry off, you are sweating again. Clothes don't dry completely, either. I thank God for our dryer!! Fans are great, but they just push the hot, humid air around a bit.

Well, time to leave for the airport and pick up our next team. It's small, only 5 people. And they are for a Haitian pastor friend. So, our work with them will be limited. But tomorrow we will be blessed, a lot. One of our former puppeteer, Emmaul, will be coming for a weeks visit. It will be such a joy to see him again. Just wish his wife and baby could be with him.

And then next week, the last of our ten "heart babies", Clare, and her family will be here for a visit. We are looking forward to that with joy and expectation. She is SO grown up now.

Have a super God blessed, Jesus centered day. Serve Him, with joy and gladness!!!
