Well, I have been trying for a few days to get on here and neither my laptop or desktop would let me do it. Frustration is a mild word for how I was feeling. I THINK I may have found out why now, but we'll see.
I did send out an email and that went through, since I did have a few responses to it, but this site ... well, I just could not get into it. So, that said, I'll first post the email I sent and go from there.

Greetings
to all,
Well,
we are FINALLY back home in Haiti. Had a
great, no make that fantastic, time while stateside but it's also good to be
home again.
We made
it to Fort Pierce in time to unload our cargo and head to Orlando to get our
grandson, Peter. We had a good time with him there. Peter and grandma did a bit of
"sightseeing" while grandpa rested the first day. (Had fun getting lost and finding our way
back). Then spent the next day at The
Holy Land Experience. A family staying
at the same hotel traveled with us via free transport. They were so nice. Had two boys who were really well
behaved. The Experience has changed a
lot since the last time we were there.
It had been created by Marve Rosenthal when we visited before. Then I guess Trinity Network purchased
it. We did miss a few of the original
things, but the expansion was really great, too. Overall it was an awesome experience. We were really glad Peter was able to go with
us.
Came
back home to heat, humidity and a ton of happy greetings, first at the airport
then at home. But oh, the pile of things
we need to go through and sort out.
We had
been a bit concerned about how Savanah would react, and if she would remember
us... no problem at all there. And she
has become a clinging vine since we got here.
They had been having some minor problems with her while we were gone,
but having grandma back set that to rights.
And shocking, she obeys when I speak to her, too. Doesn't take any time outs, or swats on the
butt, either.
Today
is our first full day back, and Peter has already been gone twice. First with Pastor Codo, and now with one of
our "kids", Daniel, to pick some things up in town. Peter is doing GREAT. We had been concerned the heat might be a
problem, but there has been absolutely NO problems for him so far, either in
Florida or here. I'll have more photos
to share when I get things set up and can download them. In between trips, another missionary, Jenny,
came and set up for him to spend time with her and her helper. Seems he will be a busy guy. We keep pushing water and hats, and he is
doing great. He does know enough to take
care of himself, but grandma has to make sure he keeps remembering. (From kids to grandkids, I keep the concern
going.)
Once we
get settled in and can work things out, I'll be back on to share more with
you. Keep praying... customs about threw
us for a loop, but we know God knew that, too, and will take care of it.
So, for
now, keep your eyes on Jesus, let Him be your guide and direction in all you do.
Until next time.... blessings and prayers!!
*************************************************
I've decided to include some photos and let you know what all has been happening. We got here fine... unloaded all our things here at the house and had a huge mess. Thankfully Peter is here with us. He has been such a TREMENDOUS help in so many areas. First full day back Vero came over with Abbie and little Sammy, who she is caring for while Bud and Jane are out. I really enjoyed them being here, but it sort of put a stop to unpacking. And I would almost rather have the kids around right now than unpack... we have missed them a LOT. Then yesterday was plane day. Vero went to the airport and I stayed home with the two little ones. Thankful for Peter yet again...his help has been invaluable. Today it's just Savanah. So, while she napped, I was able to get some work done on computer, and Peter unloaded boxes and sorted things into piles. Don worked in the garage getting vehicles running and putting things away there. So, now Peter took the kiddo outside and I am able to catch up on the blog.. isn't life fun??? But we are really praising God for Peter's help. As of tomorrow he will be out and moving about with other missions. So, glad he only had one day so far with Pastor Codo. Peter will be working with Pastor Codo for a couple of days, then heading over to help another missionary group with their English school. Things keep falling into place for him to see all different things everywhere. Keep praying for him that God will reveal where and what HE wants Peter to do. He is open for the Lord's leading and it's much easier to hear God's voice when away from the stateside pressures of "things".
Okay, now on to the pictures... with explanations... and they may not be in order, since I have problems doing that on here.
These first ones are from the Holy Land Experience...
So, what are our prayer requests?? Well,
Pray for Peter to be able to handle the heat... yes, it's up into the 3 digits most days. Pray for the adoption papers for both Sammy and Savanah.
Pray for God to guide and direct us in all we do and where we are to minister.
And finally pray for me to be able to conquer these computer problems!!!
Until next time, prayerfully soon, let the Lord guide you in all you do and keep your eyes on our only hope, JESUS!!!
