  On May/29 I got company….. 
  
  (May/29 – June/13)

  

  Sheila Driedger (L)  and Kendra Amendt (R)
  from B.C. Canada came to stay with me for 2 weeks.

  

  Here is a picture I took of 
  Mr and Mrs Vladimy Mardy
  the day they brought the girls up.
  You can not really tell it on this picture but
  we got rained on on our way up to the house.
  -  If you go to  www.Xanga.com/heart_of_compassion 
  you will be able to see other pictures from that day.

  

  The girls brought stuff with them to have 
  Bible school with the school children. 
  We had a lot of fun!!!

  

  

  

  

  

  Do to us getting some much needed rain
  we were not able to have the Bible school
  outside every day like we wanted to,
  but we were very thankful for the rain!!

   

  

  

  The girls took Creole classes. 
  The one thing they learned is the
  colors in Creole and that helped
  us out a lot in Bible school. 
  
     
   
  Kendra and Sheila are 2 of 8 girls from Canada
  that have come to spend 4 weeks in Haiti.
  Two of the other girls were at IFM and they
  got brought up to see were these girls 
  were the one afternoon.
  We did not know they were coming.
  It was a nice surprise for them!!

  

  

  The girls got to help do wash “by hand”
  The one day when we were done with the
  wash we went through some bags of clothes
  that they had brought to give away and
  we ended up finding a Snickers bar that was
  stuck in among the clothes – so we split it
  3 ways and had a treat. 

   

  

  We taught one of the Haitians how to play
  Spades.  That was a lot of fun. 

  

  The girls brought a big thing of bubbles with them.
  Everyone loved them, even the older people. 

   

  

  We got to do some visiting. We took the talking Bible
  that was given to me by IFM along and played it
  for the people. We also had prayer with them.

  

   

  

  Me with some of the children that
  have totally stolen my heart.

  

  

  And what can I say………
  I do believe Sheila and Kendra
  have lost their hearts too. 
  What do you all think??? 

  

     

  

  Here I am reading a letter to one of the
  school students that her sponsor wrote to her.
  The man in the picture is one of our teachers
  - He just so happens to also be the
  student’s Dad as well. 

  

  The very next week I got another letter in
  the mail to read to another child.
  I really enjoyed doing this.

  
  
  The one day I was caught being the ”local nurse”
  

  

  On Tuesday June/10 we got to go to the
  next town up the mountain to market. 
  

  

  

  Here the girls in the tap-tap 

  

  I really enjoyed having the girls with me.
  I am going to really miss them.
  Thank you both so much for the big help you
  were to me, and for bring the things needed
  to have the Bible school with the students.

  

  And last but not least -  here is a picture that
  was taken of me in the past 2 weeks.

  

  Thank you so much for all your
  prayer support God Bless you all!!
