We're still busy...

Sad to say Carolyn left, but her spirit remains.  Sure did enjoy our time with her.  And then last week, Savanah's new family arrived.  We had another great week.  Savanah is slow to adapt to others, but she sure took to daddy.  And of course to Ruby, her new sister.  Mama was a bit slower.  But she only cried when she was tired and wanted grandma to put her to bed.  

Then Sunday, she was dedicated at English Bible Fellowship.  It was a real blessing for us to be able to attend that.  Normally when we have had babies, those things transpire after we deliver them to their families.  But Guerline, Andy and Ruby wanted it done here.  And an added blessing was that her grandma, Bibiana was able to be here with her also.  She was here teaching some classes.  I wish I had a picture of all of them, but I'll have to ask them to send me one.  I did get a few photos, so will share them.  The first one is Andy, Ruby, Guerline, and Savanah.  The second one is with Pastor Prichard and Dana Adams.
 
 Pastor Prichard and Dana Adams did the dedication and also shared the testimony of Pirchard's awesome recovery from 2, yes, 2 aneurisms.  God has really been with this couple through some hard times.  What a joy to hear how HE worked in their lives, and  how His power was manifested through Prit's recovery.  

Then on Monday, following the dedication, I was invited to a women's lunch.  It was a sad time, though.  The gathering was to say a final farewell to two missionary women.  Pat Moore (along with her husband Clark) have retired from Haiti.  And Cheron Hardy has felt the Lord leading her to leave Haiti and minister to the Muslim's in some way.  As of yet, she is not sure just where, but we are praying with her as God directs.  Both of these gals will be greatly missed here in Haiti.  

While at the luncheon, Dana Adams took a photo of Savanah.  I tired to crop and re-size it, but couldn't.  So, here it is, as I received it.  
 Meanwhile, Don has been busy trying to keep things working here, and getting equipment picked up from a church that was worked on, and of course, spending two days a week at the airport with MFI.  Keep them in prayer, as they continue to serve Haiti, the Dominican and the Caribbean.  


Keep praying for Haiti, also.  It seems unrest is always "just around the corner" most of the time.  We are really praying that God will pour out His spirit and bring a great revival here, as well as in America.

While studying, Don came upon a verse that he shared some insights on.  It is in 1 Corinthians 15:  12 - 17.   Read this in light of the Easter season that is upon us.  Jesus Christ HAS risen from the dead, and that is where our hope is!!!  PTL!
