  • Jan / 6 I went back up to my house in Soliette, Haiti. I was honored to
    have company go up with me! Sheila and her sister Michelle went up with me.
    As you can see we went up "in style"

    Sheila was here with me for 2 weeks this past summer. Madam Boulie was so happy
    when she saw her that morning. - I had not told them that she was coming. We missed
    the best picture, none of us had our cameras ready but the 3 of us will never
    forget the reaction we saw that morning.

    Madam made Haitian Coffee for them to drink. Sheila was so
    happy that Madam remembered that she loves the stuff.  
    It is kinda the joke of the Soliette people that I do not like coffee.
    - They always tell me I have not "grown up yet". HA HA !!!!!!

    the students name on in the one corner. On the left is a plate of Haitian food.
    White rice, bean sauce, and a meat sauce with potatoes in it. Any one hungery??

    That afternoon Matt from IFM came up to get the girls. He also brought a group of people with him that wanted to see where I live and the work that I am doing. I ended up going back down with them. I had not have a chance to see the board members in Haiti before I went up. School had been put off for a few days, so I took the chance to go down and see them. I had a really good time with them. Ashly and I do not get to do a lot of stuff together with me being in Soliette all the time, so I was glad for the time with her.

    School started again on Jan / 12. Charlot fixed a few benches that morning.
    Can you tell by the way the teachers are holding on to the cord for the flag that it is REALLY REALLY cold in Soliette? I know you are laughing and saying "ya right" -- cold in Haiti.
    Well just keep looking on down the post and you will see proof that I am not
    the only "white" that got cold in the past 6 weeks.

  • It was so enjoyable to get a glimspe of your life the past few weeks.  It was also so exciting to hear 200 people showed up for the Jesus film and we pray that the simple truth of Salvation can be made real to many.  Only heaven will reveal the harvest that will come from the efforts that are put forth in reaching people.  God's Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
