    I guess I should have wrote...
    "God Bless the ones that I'm going to see"
    On July/14 I will be flying to SC for a 4 week

    I will be working to raise the money needed

    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

    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.

    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.

    I really enjoyed having the girls with me.

    to have the Bible school with the students.

    Thanks so much for all your Prayer support!!
    I am going to be heading
    back up to Soliette this morning.
    I have to run to clinic and let them do
    a couple more tests and then they will
    call me with the results. So until then I
    will not know for sure what I have. 
    I do feel better this morning.
    The girls are here and we had a good
    time getting to know each other last night.

    Well.......
    Guess what everyone,
    I am sick again. 
    I came down to IFM's
    clinic today to get tested and
    I have been told that I
    DO NOT
    have Malaria or Typhoid.
    Only thing is they do not know what
    I have.   So I am going to have to go to
    get some tests done in town on
    Thursday morning.
    Please Pray that they find out
    why I am sick and that God
    heals me really fast.
    I will try and let everyone
    know what is going on
    as soon as I know.

    WOW, it has been 7 weeks since I updated last!!!!!!
    Allot of things have happened in that time frame, here are some of them……

    Mike and Joanna Martin (they are from IFM) took me up to Soliette again on March/26.
    Mike was kind and helped me out by putting the wood blocks up on the cement
    block wall’s so that I could hang my curtain rode’s on them.
    Thanks so much Mike it was a real blessing to have you do that for me.
     Only thing is I forgot that the curtain rod brackets get put up with screws now and not nails…….
    ...I did manage to get them in but it took longer then it would have with the screw gun.

    Here are pictures of my one room house.
    I would love to have all of you just come on over for a visit and be
    able to show you my place in person but for now this will just have to do the job.

    The one time I went visiting it started raining before I got back to my house.  The person I was
    visiting at the time it started raining decided that she did not want me getting all “cold and wet” 
    so she gave me a shirt (2 sizes to small!!!) and a scarf to put on my head.

          I went to two weddings in April.    
    They were both in the next town down the mountain from where I live.
    It is just over an hour walk to get there. Here are some pictures I took at them.

    (first wedding)

    On April/19 I was given the opportunity to go to Bible study. - I rode with the ones from IFM.
    Bible study was at C.A.M.     After Bible study we went to the beach for a while.
    The ones from IFM bought a watermelon for us to eat just before we left the beach. Josiah
    (Mike and Joanna Martins son) kept eating the rind and not the “good part.”

    The family I live with bought a puppy. They thought it would be a good idea to have a dog - more protection for
    me when he finally grows up. I got to name him. I named him “Jack”. I gave him a bath in flee and tick shampoo the one day.
    They all had a good laugh at me but they all had a fit at the amount of flees that washed out of his fur.

    I planted pecan and apple trees seeds in black bags. I pray they grow. I also
    planted some sweet corn and a few cantaloupe seeds in their garden.
    It would be so nice if they grew and produced even a small amount.

    The one weekend the family I live with had to butcher one of their cows.
    I was doing my wash the same day and ended up having to walk
    through the “meat market” to hang my clothes out.

    Every Child School term in Haiti #2 524 Every Child School term in Haiti #2 523

    I spend my day’s at the School. I really enjoy my "job". Once in a while I even help teach.
    I’m still learning to spell in Creole and me learning French is just not getting much of
    anywhere, or at lest it feels like that to me.  I normally just help teach math or help the
    younger ones with making their letters and numbers correct if I help teach.
    I also grade papers for the teachers some times as long as I have a sheet of
    paper to do the grading from. For example if they are to be writing a
    phrase in French as the teacher reads it to them I can take what
    the teacher read and use it as a "score key".   

    Every Child School term in Haiti #2 567

    These 2 are brother and sister and they
    give me a hug almost every day.

    One of the teachers from our School also helps in the Church service we have.
    Here he is with his next to the youngest child. - She is a real "Daddy’s girl."   

    Every Child School term in Haiti #2 543

    These 5 Brothers are allot of fun to teach.
    The youngest one is not in School yet but he comes
    to visit  me with his older brothers once in a while.

    Every Child School term in Haiti #2 540

    I will be down at IFM for a while do to the fact that the witch doctor is in
    the Soliette area and the family I live with do not feel it would be a good
    idea for me to stay up in that area and let all the people coming to
    worship the devil see that a “white woman” lives in that area.
    Lord willing I can go back up the third Sunday of May.

    This past week and next the teachers are spending more time in Bible study with the children because of
    the witch doc comming. The last hour of the day is being spent with all the children outside together with the
    teachers tell them story’s about Jesus.  Here are a few pictures I took before I came down on Wednesday.

  • We Need Your PRAYERS!

     
    We found out today that the Witch Doctor is coming to the area I live
     on Thursday, May 10. He plans to be in the are for one week.
    We ask for you to pray that God will be glorified through us during that time.
    We also ask that you will plead to our Father for protection for our
    souls from the evil that will be so prevalent.
    Even the animals will be at risk during this time.
    (they use them in their "services")
    Above all the other requests, pray that God will be able to bring
    souls to Him through the tracts that we will be handing out
    to those with whom we come in contact.
    (We are being supplied with 800 tracts,
    arriving in Soliette by the end of the week)
    We understand that they will be setting up their "camp"
    one field away from our home.
