N'ap boule

Well two words to describe life here in Haiti would be Hot and Busy! Since we've been back there has definately been no lack of work and the weather is definately HOT! Thankfully we've had some cooler nights to give our bodies a bit of a break but when those don't come we survive off of constant showers.
We are busy preparing to have a team of five come down later this week. There is a big job list for them to do and so Randy has already started some of the jobs with Cadea, Samuel, Wisly and Guerdeson so that the team has a head start. Here is a pic of them working on the foundation for the tikay (little house) that we are going to build for them on the roof. This will give them a bit more space and will be a lot cooler then where they are currently sleeping.
Things are busy with the Adoration school as well as the sponsor students as we are playing a bit of catch up from the months that we were gone as well as getting ready for the next year. We are very thankful for the work that the teachers and the rest of our employees put in while we were gone, they did a fabulous job running the school and looking after the property. What a blessing they are and continue to be.

Maia has been doing well adjusting to life in Haiti. She's really living up to her middle name as she brings us much joy in our days. She is constantly screeching and cooing at us and she loves to kick her little legs, espcially when we give her the freedom of no diaper! She is definately not lacking in the attention department although they are certain people that she especially misses.... Grandma and Oma, nobodies attention is quite like theres! Here she is with a good friend of ours Lesley and her fiancee Diego as well as with Cadeau.

Maia's First Plane Ride!



Well, Maia had a great plane ride today, well actually 2. Everything went smoothly, only waited 2 hours on the runway in Miami in a hot plane, only lost one bag, only had to wait an hour and half for our luggage on this end. Well, we are back at home... We are so thankful for a blessed day, and thankful to be back again. Maia did so well today.


Thanks for everything to everyone, the prayers, the encouragement, the visits, the good belly laughs, it was very good to see you all these past fews months. We feel refreshed to take on the work again and are looking forward to seeing how God will work in this next year. Enjoy the cool weather in Canada, we were already sweating at 8:30 this morning!!
