Goals

it is Wednesday am. I went to sleep at 6 last night. Had a horrible headache. Thank goodness I am better today.

The trip has already been amazing. I had two things that were really important to me well I guess you could say three and they have been accomplished! I was able to see the twin girls Rose-Manie and Rose-Marie and to see Mirtha. I have spent quite a bit of time with Rose-Manie and Mirtha. But not nearly enough.
Danielle has met Denny. Its odd but awesome. He has taken a liking to her already. He started school about 3 weeks ago. He looked so cute heading to school with his backpack on.

yesterday the mission handed out rice, beans, toothpaste, toothbrushes, toilet paper, a protein block, protein drink mix, hats and something else that I can't remember. I marked the cards of people as they entered to show they got theirs and they were all so happy and friendly. had a couple who tried to sneek in without the card that we had to send back out. Oh yeah and the rice... Danielle and I learned the right way to fill rice bags lol!

We walked with Pastor Ken up into the market too. They have market day on Tuesdays.

Will try to email photos but may be too big.

Missing my family. I have sick kiddos too.

No internet

The internet is out because of the hurricane so all updates have to go through the phone which doesn't work the greatest. So a lot of my updates won't go through

Haiti 2010

Here we go!  It has been a super busy day!! We had a wonderful service at church this am.  We came home and laid everyone down for naps so I could pack (NO I HAD NOT STARTED, BUT I AM FINISHED) and then went and had some photos taken....for whatever reason I was adament I wanted them before I left.   We got to have a quick bite to eat with Nathan & Danielle which was great!  I am now listening to Sponge Bob while on the computer and trying to get the last minute things done.  The kids are all in bed.  I have said my good byes for the most part, although the hardest ones are still coming.  Coral and Nicoll will be riding with Mom to take me to the church so Brian can stay with the kids.  We will be meeting at our church this evening/Monday am at 1:30.  We will leave at 2:15 or so.  We will have plenty of time as American nearly had me on the wrong plane, but it is all worked out now!  WHEW!  We leave out of Chicago at 9:30 am ET heading to Miami.  From Miami we go to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti.  We should be on the ground there at 4:10 ET. It will take about 2-3 hours to get through customs and out to the village of Caizale.  I hope to update the blog as much as possible!  Love to all!!!!
