We have missed spring

Greetings again from Haiti!

I think we have missed spring and gone totally into summer.  We have lots of HEAT and HUMIDITY right now.  But we are also into praising God for the rains He has sent. We are excited that the heavy drought has ended and things are now growing again!

I decided to send out some pictures again, since the Lord has arranged for our internet to work.  I was shocked when I tried, once again, to get on with my laptop... and it worked!!!!  I have not gotten on the internet with this computer since last September.  God is working wonders and it's all in answer to prayers!  Thank you so much for those prayers!

So, as the photos come up, I'll describe them to you all!!  First of all, one of our former puppet team members was married this last weekend.  Our good friend, Carolyn, from Florida, came and did the flowers.  We had a great week with her.  She also brought along some dresses which were donated from a gal in West Palm Beach.  Savanah received one of them and it was so pretty.  Abbie was the flower girl and got to dress up and be a "princess" for a day.
 
 This is Belfort after the wedding, along with the Maren (Godmother), his new wife, and Stan, the Paren (Godfather).  Loved the very vivid colors!!
 The cake was also awesome... made by another orphan from the same orphanage Belfort had been in.  She did such a great job and is so talented!!!
Belfort was the director of the church choir.  They sang at the wedding and he directed them.  Then he grabbed his saxophone and joined the band he is in (who play for funerals and other events).  We were amazed at the fantastic music they created.  The whole wedding was really wonderful, and we so enjoyed it.


Savanah decided to help grandpa do some work.  He had an extra set of glasses to help with close work.  She simply put them on, so she would work with him.
 Don has been working on Vero's house, hauling sand a gravel, and working at the airport, so he has been extra busy these last weeks.  

I've been busy keeping track of this very, very active 2 year old.  Each day she seems to find more and more things to get into.  She is doing so many things our twins did when they were her size... not a fun time for me!!  I'm using a lot of Greased Lightening now, to get rid of all the pen drawings she has created all over the house.  Including my good chair, the walls, books and her belly!!  Maybe she'll be an artist?  Who knows.  An added note... please keep praying for the adoption process to be finalized.  Pastor Cebien said he had to have 4 meetings, and has already completed 3 of those.  Need some heavy prayers to get this completed.

I have also started working with another group from the orphanage who are resurrecting the mime our former puppet team did.  It is awesome and has touched so many people.  Now we pray these young adults will have the same impact when they do it for others.  

I will close for now and try to get some work done while I have internet.  We have so much to be thankful for and we continue to praise the Lord for all He is doing.  We also pray you are walking with Him and doing what He directs you to do.  May your walk with Him be fulfilling and fantastic!!  And may you always keep your hand in His in all things you do!
