EDH

EDH is the city power we get in Haiti and it's random.  You never know when you are going to get it and when you do get it you never know how long you are going to get it for.  Some days we get four hours some days we get 12 and other days we don't get any.  In light of the randomness of the electricity situation here I find this Avis highly entertaining.

Haiti - NOTICE : Phase II of the commissioning of the new transformer
20/06/2013 07:16:20

The Directorate General of Electricity of Haiti (EDH) informs its customers in particular and the population in general, that the Phase II of works of connection of the new 50 MVA transformer at the substation of Ancien Delmas, will be carried out this Thursday, June 20, 2013, from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, during which the municipalities of Delmas, Nazon, Christ-Roi, Clercine and Silot among others, will be without electricity.

Following this installation, the EDH will conduct a series of tests and adjustments for at least one week to make the new transformeroperational. Given the unexpected that can happen during this period, the EDH is not yet able to give a precise date for the full recovery of power hours.

Ah! Help me!

First Harvest!

A couple of weeks ago I posted about our second/third attempt at a garden.  So far it's been successful!  This photo is from a couple of weeks ago, our first harvest, we've cut the microgreens a few times now and are enjoying our fresh salad.  We've also got cucumbers, radishes, onions, corn, pumpkins, cabbage, tomatos and flowers growing in the garden.

Chickens!

Last week we went out do Double Harvest and picked up our chickens!  We know have 5 egg laying chickens who provide us with nice brown eggs every day.  Maia and Levi are loving their chickens.

Little Lambs Chaos

A "Maia Joy turns 4, Joel Robert turns 1" birthday party!

Today we celebrated Maia Joy and Joel Robert!
Four years ago we were blessed with our exuberant, passionate, creative, expressive, social, sweet-loving Maia Joy.  Thankful for our little girl and the joy that that she brings to our life.  Praying that the Lord continues to work in her heart and that her passion for Jesus continues to grow deeper and deeper.
And... Maia has the privilege of sharing her birthday with Joel, son of Cornelius and Mindy, so what better way to celebrate than to have a joint birthday party, costume style!
Enjoy the pictures!

Judah's Baptism

On Sunday May 5th Judah Josiah was baptized!  We are so thankful that he was able to receive the sign and seal of the covenant.  Thankful that he belongs to Jesus Christ having his life hidden in Christ Jesus, sharing in His death and resurrection, as he is adopted into the family of God, as a member of his church.  Thankful to have been able to share this day with Jemima's family, our church family, and friends in Haiti.
