Run

Well, today we went to Cayes to buy food.  At first, we were heading down a main road by the market where we buy vegetables.  Every one was running away from the road, we all wondered why.  Just when my mom, Oberline, and I were going to get out my dad said "STOP".  Then we closed the car doors and realized why.  The police were breaking up a road block with this type of gas, that stung your eyes where you would be crying and your throat would hurt.   I felt terrible watching all those people running from a gas.  I felt like I was the one who was running.  My dad went backwards and parked so he could explain all this confusion.  So we headed back and stopped at the Unimarket (which is a super market) to buy our food.  We saw ladies with their baskets of food running by us.  I was thinking why would ANY police do that!  I think they should have done something else.  I also saw men on their moto's going back to fight.  What an interesting thing to happen in Cayes today.  Thank GOD for protecting us through that gassy time.

Normal or Unnormal?

I don't know if any of you have read my dad's blog yet, but I have definitely experienced God's grace.  I will never forget that.  But right now I have a little story to tell.  This morning Oberline comes in and says, "The sick chicken killed the baby chicken!"  I ran out to see if what I had heard is true.  As I  realized  the sad news was true it made me think of what we do.  All of the "normal" people pick on the unnormal people.  Then the picked on people start to turn bitter and make a whole lot of trouble.  Every chance that the now bitter person gets, they try to put people down as much as possible.  What are we going to do?  Make fun of others or love the sick and the unnormal?  Really the only reason  people are mean to others, is because others have hurt and done wrong to them.  BUT do NOT repay evil for evil, but evil for good.  That is my story to tell.

Sandy

   Friday I was cooking lunch for everyone, when my dad said we need a family decision.  I actually said "Oh, great".  He said that Shane has a goat that just got born and the mother died.  He wanted to know if we were willing to take the goat under our wings. Immediately I was jumping up and down saying "YES!".  I was in a haste the rest of the time eating, cooking, washing a tarp, getting in the car, everything!   Everyone was moving like they usually do while I kept on saying COME ON WE GOT TO GO!  The car ride felt like it was SO long to arrive at the ranch.  Once we did arrive I wanted Shane to take us to the goat quick as lighting.  I followed where he said to go and saw a lot of baby goats.  I told Logan "that is the one we are taking"  Logan said "how do you know".  All I could say is "I just know".  I was right too.  This little girl goat is so called Sandy, but I keep calling her Honey.  If anyone touches her she wags her tail and looks for milk.  This is the cutest baby goat I have every seen.

  You know sense Zoro died I promised Oreo another goat will come, and look it here.  

 Our little baby Sandy is walking now.  To Sandy:  Get strong little Sandy, and keep moving forward.

Chicks!

Just a couple days ago I over heard Logan saying " we got chicks!".  I ran out to the back and there they were!  I saw 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 baby chickens!    Thank Jesus for these little peepers.  I love the black ones that we have.  It is so cute because the mama chicken finds something to eat then the whole family of chicks take over.  We have waited over 23 days for these eggs to hatch and they finally did.  Thank Jesus for the new members in our little farm. 

A strange dream

This is my dream from last night

Every year I would preform a flying show for a huge church.

Also every year lots of people wanted to grab me and take me away for my flying ability.  I walked out of a room and started flying around for the church.  Suddenly a women reached out and grabbed me, at the same time another girl grabbed me then I was trapped.  Then  Light purple fractions started appearing on every one who was at the church to kidnap me.  Then I was frightened, over half the church was just there to snatch me.

I ran out of the church it was dark and cold and I was alone.  I saw a black car I thought it was just parked there without any one in it.  I walked a little passed the car, then a men who was wearing every thing black with sun glasses stared at me.  His hands were folded behind his back.  I started out in a fast walk then went faster and faster until I was running so fast things started to get blurry.  The man was fallowing me in his car.  I hid behind a post,  and watched the man pass me.  I was safe until I turned that mean corner there was THE man waiting for ME.  He grabbed and put me in his car.  All I could do was shiver. I have never been kidnapped before.  He said to me " I need you to use you air powers to blow out dust in a mans airplane so he can fly to Africa with our supplies". I had no idea what that meant.  I completely did not at all trust this guy.  Seriously what kid on earth would trust a man that just kidnapped them!  After that things cleared up and I was awake.  Feeling safe that I was not kidnapped.

A little filly

Today I went out to give Misty some water with Logan.  There is a new foal out there on the green fields with her mama.  Logan and I think the foal is a filly.  The filly has a bay color to her with a white sock.  Yesterday I told Logan " it would be so Awesome if the filly would follow us to give Misty water".

Guess what happened today?  She followed us all the way to our house, and even in our gate!  Once we had to return the two horses my family had to block of the way to the national road.

God totally answered what I said to him yesterday.  I have been doing my horse whinnies to her, then she whinnies back.  It feels like her and I are having a conversation, but I don't know what she is saying.  I think she thinks Misty is her sister.    I followed behind Logan and the horses back.  Right when the little darling filly say the huge field she gallpopped past us in the field.  Logan staked Misty in the ground and I watched every movement if the foal.  This is a day I won't forget.

                              Is she not just a cutey little filly!!

Daddy Daughter Date

Today I went on a daddy daughter date.  We headed towards the beach on the moto.  When we got there we talked first then I wrote " I ❤ u daddy-o".  The ocean was so clear and pretty.  We looked for sea shells and found a jackpot.  I found a sea urchin and a half of a star fish.  Then my dad found a sea urchin, it was the daddy daughter date shells.  We sat down and had a picnic with a PBand J, american oranges, brownies, and sliced up carrots.  After lunch we swam some more.  Then my dad had to get back before 3:00 so we had to go.  When he was exiting I grabbed his hat and rushed into the ocean.  I got another 30 minutes with him in the ocean.  I saw he was getting sun burnt so I let him get out.  Then I changed my mind, I grabbed some sand and patted my dads back.  Then he had to wash off in the ocean again.  Then we had a little sand fight.  I didn't want him to be late so we left and went to the store.  We got some items then took off to another store and got some different items.  Then we looked for a good place to stop, we found a hill covered in grass and took out 2 sodas and 1 packet of gum with potato chips.  The view was amaizing! I said " we could take a picture of this and about 1,000 people would come to Haiti.".  As we were leaving I saw a 1 week old baby donkey with a full grown man riding him and his feet was touching the ground.  As we were approaching our gate it started to rain.  I said to my daddy " Yes!  I have always wanted to be on a moto, while it is raining, in Haiti!".  He laughed when I said that.  When we got home my star fish mushed and broke and the sea urchins shattered.  It was a good day still.  I had one Amazing day with my dad.  Thank you Jesus I got to have a date with my daddy. 

Wild Misty

Today I was going to ride Misty.  My dad always works with her first so at least she can be humble enough to ride.  My dad brought Misty next to a tree.  There was some sort of noise or a rock hit her, she jumped and my dad had no choice but to release her.  Misty gallopped and gallopped around the field.  I slowly hid behind Logan because Misty was coming at a dead charge for me.  Then she ran out of our eye sight.  Misty went into a cactus area of ours and forgot the entrance out.  My dad and her both darted towards the entrance.  I actually thought she was going to jump the barb that protected me from her.   Logan grabbed a rotten fruit that she liked and threw it to her.  That got her mind off of escaping.  My dad grabbed the rope and staked her in the mud where there was no food.  He did that to teach the horsey a lesson.  I think it did teach that horse a lesson.  Misty also tore up my dad's garden.  I can't ride my Misty until she is trained now. :(. I am going to miss the little trot to her.  Thank God we even have a horse.

Working for The Lord

Two days ago I had an idea for our goat pen.  We had a divider in between the fence for the goats.  I thought we should close the entrances off, get the divider out, and make a gate to it.  Then the goats could mate.  My dad liked the idea, and I was so happy he did because Logan is usually the idea person.  Four guys are working their tale off making the goat project and making benches for a church.  I made a little path to the entrance of the pen yesterday, but the chickens trashed it :(.  I think the pen and the benches look awesome so far!  Thank you Jesus that my dad and Mike get to have good fellowship with friends!

Posè= relax

This little one is tired after drinking milk and eating bread.  We need to be like this cat, being able to relax and not to worry.  Just relax for a little bit and have some fun!

Cuties

This is what I thought of.  The kittens names are sugar and daisy.

 2 kittens laying on a bin ,M, I, L, K, I, N, G.

Fellowship and fish

Today everyone in my family plus Oberline went to Shane's ranch.  We had a picnic with Shane and the lunch made me think I was in America because Shane made bbq pork.  All the kids went out to the goats.  Is was really weird because there were only 5 half grown goats and no babies.  After the fun with the goats we had the yearning for climbing something.   We climbed every where we could.  Then it was time to get some fish from Shane!  I overheard Shane talking that someone needed to get in the slimy green water.  I thought he was joking.  I was the first child to get in the water.  Eventually all of the kids got in and worked together to capture the fish.  This was a very fun day out on the ranch with Shane.  On the way home Oberline and I were  counting  how many horses and foals we saw.  There were 18 horses mixed with some foals...very cute!!    What an exciting day it was!  I think everyone is exhausted from the fun, long day.  Thank God for the picnic, more fish and the wonderful time with our friend Shane!

Dancing and singing

  Yesterday it was Oberline's Birthday!!  It was her first birthday party in her life.   She woke up early early and went into my mom and dad's room.  Right in the morning we went to take the goats up and see Misty.  I asked her if she wanted a ride on Misty, she said yes.  She hopped on and Misty did a really good job.  Then when she wanted to dismount she just fell off.  I don't think she knew how to get off.  I think Misty did really good for a yearling.  At 9:00 my dad took her to the bank so we could decorate.  We have ribbon stringed up on the walls with smiley faces.  When she got back she didn't really say anything.  I think she didn't say anything because she doesn't know how to respond to it.  She had a fun time singing and dancing.  Praise God for Oberline to have a good Birthday!

                                                                                         I think she had a great time.

  

Happy Birthday Oberline!

In the midst of the water

      Yesterday I was planning to have a nice night with pop, movie, popcorn, and electricity.  While we were making popcorn we lost power.  Then our popcorn was burnt and barley anything popped.  We watched Star Trek and  power came on and off like 4 times.  There was lots of rain and thunder and also my parents were gone at a church service. All the animals were scared.  When my mom and dad got back we went back to watch our movie.  I heard my mom yell Logan's name. I ran out and saw water was coming in from the roof and down the stairs that lead to the roof.  Water was everywhere! I started picking up important things on the ground like boxes of bibles.  My brother went to help my dad sweep the water off the roof.  Then after awhile I went up there to help sweep.  Then Oberline walked up and helped me too.  It was pitch dark, the rain was so cold and there was lighting and thunder all around us.  After sweeping and sweeping we took a break on the ledge.  Just as much water as we were sweeping out was just falling again, again, and again.  We took another break and just sat in the water.  It made no difference to our clothes to sit in the water. There was so much water that the wrinkles in the water made me think I was in the ocean.  After an hour of sweeping, the rain was like needles on my back.  During all this in the dark, Oberline and I staring singing and rejoicing.  Then the boys started knocking holes in the ledge of the roof so the water would run off.  Oberline and I grabbed the chairs that were up there and hid ourselves from the rain.  When we were finished, we went down and realized we had cement all over us.  I rinsed off and my mom said that the water was cold but since I was so cold it felt like it was hot.  That was not the kind of Saturday night I was expecting.  It is still raining now at 10:29  the next day here.  Thank Jesus for the rain.  All the farmers will have a good season of crop this year.

Leave paradise? Leave People who are hungry for Jesus?

As I am sitting here I am wondering why do Americans even care about Haiti?  Haiti is this poor country with hunger, pain,some evil and happiness from Jesus.  Who would want to come to this country and leave paradise?   A lot of people donate and see pictures of Haiti but they don't leave to experience it.  The first year I didn't want to leave my paradise.  My paradise was family, friends, food, treats, and fun.  I had to leave that and go out of my own comfort zone.  I see that I was blessed with almost the same thing here.  People all the time ask me which place do I like most?  I can never say.  I love Haiti I love America what should I say to that question?  I care about Haiti a lot.  I try to bless my friends with dolls and games. my Haitian/American friend just called my dad,we are going to have a play date. Jesus blessed me much.  Thank you God for friends and people wanting to visit Haiti.

Come on here to Haiti

 I am very exited for 2 visitors to come!  Their names are Heidi and Mike.  They will be coming October 9th.  This will be the very first time any who came from America to stay here!  I think it will be fun.  Whenever I am in Haiti I get like a Haitian.  By that I mean I get Very exited to see other white people in Haiti.  It's weird since I am a white person.  I can't wait though.  So come if you want we have room!  We were blessed with with other rooms to spare!

Friends

The few couple of days I have been in Haiti I have been playing with my friends.  We are playing uno, spoons, carro,casino,the game with the jumprope, a ball game, on the water on the ground and that is pretty much it.  Every one loves spoons.  Also there is 4 girls that I brought Barrie's for their names are onadin,judeline,fabian,and lovely.  I don't know if I spelled their names right.  I have truly charashed the time I have have in Haiti.  The first 2 days I was a little crabby from the long travel.  Thank Jesus for his blessing of friends.

Back to the 100's

We have arrived in Haiti!  We got to Haiti yesterday.  It was a long trip from America to Haiti.   It was hard saying goodbyes to every one.  It was good to see bèl,misty, Carmel, bee, __,__and all the others.  It was also good to see al of my friends.  We got Internet working today.  Also Harold came today.  Harold comes once a month with a Haitian named Marco.  Harold and Marco gather pasters together and give things to the church.  It has been very busy I can barely keep my eyelids open.  (The __ __ are the 2 kittens who have not been named). It has been hot up to 100 degrees but I can handle it.  Thank God for letting my family and I travel back to Haiti.

A mystery for days to come

2 days ago my wonderful daddy-o got my mom and I an iPad mini.

  I am using it right now.  Yesterday we got a pink\orange cover  for it.

       This Is a blessing.   That is not just what is a blessing.  Animals are a blessing, houses, friends, family, air conditioning, electricity, and many more.  Compared to other American girls I don't have much, but I am happy to have what I have.  Every day is a New mystery that is what I love about the world.  You never know what is coming for the next day.

What a fun weekend

  Two days ago my friend Eva and I had a sleep over.  We played with our dolls, played horses,

Watched a movie and some other things.  We woke up the next morning and had donuts.  We started playing dolls again then I got a call from my cousin Shelly.  I was going to go horse back riding on Saturday.  Then it took about 5 minutes then I decided to go.  I went on the longest trail ride I have ever went on in my life. We went in this open field and Shelly showed my and Logan where her other horse Charlie was buried.  It was so much fun walking,trotting, cantering and a little loping.  When I am on a horse loping if feels like your flying.  After horse riding I went to my Nana's house.  I had a lot of family there.  I think 7 kids and 2 adults lots of fun that day.  We had pizza and played some games then we settled down.  I went outside and saw a little kitty.  I called "Here kitty kitty kitty."  She walked over and I started petting her.  My friend Jorden was riding her bike by and I said " Jorden is this your cat?"  Jorden said "yeah that is Lilly."  I kept on saying Lilly what a pretty name.  Lilly kept on following me and wanted to go in the house with me.  I had to leave her but at 10:48 I looked out the window she was still sitting there.  I had a fun fun weekend with every one! 

Kitties and kittens!

I just found out that my little sweet darling kitty had kittens!!!  I wonder if they will be just like her!  I can't wait to see them I can hardly type!  Little bèl has had her babies.  I did not know she was going to have ketties.  Bèl was never around a boy cat I wonder how she got preagnet.  I am seriously to exited I can barley stop talking about it!  I wonder how many she had.  My guess is 3.   If it is another girl I would name her....twinkle.

Thinking of some place elce

The last couple days I woke up and wnet outside and it was  HOT out.  It reminds me of Haiti.

  Also this morning I talked to my friend who is Ametican/Hatian his name is Natou.  I have not talked to him for a long time now.  He just went back to Haiti with his family this Thursday.  Haiti I miss it and I will be there on September 17th and see very thing and one I love.  Then I will miss my family and friends here.  It is hard going back to Haiti then back to America.  I wish Haiti and America were 1 mile away from eachother.  I thank God for all the things he does give us because you can't get every thing you want.  You can never help any 1 too much.  

Sleeping in the crickets zone

  A couple of days ago I stepped outside and was freezing.  The wind was blowing the trees were waving and it was freezing.  I thought why would God make such a cold day in summer?

Now I wake up and it is hot.  Weird huh?  It is the end of summer and the days are cold it is the beginning of autom and the days are hot.   Yesterday night my brother and I in a tent in our backyard.

I had some stuffed animals in there with me.  Once more I could here the crickets outside like I used to in Haiti.  It is so peaceful to here them it is like they are in a musical.  God created theses creatures so amazing and cool that No one can describe.  Do you know any one in the world who can make a cricket or make it sing?   It is like a sweet lalaby.  I love all theses creatures they are so Cool!!!!

Amazing is He

  Yesterday my friend Jenna, my mom, my dad, my brother and I went out to a park.
    Jenna and I brought our doll stuff so we could play dolls in the nice fresh air.  We climbed trees, went on trail rides, discovered wild herds of horses and a lot of other fun things.  I got apples down from a tree.  How many tiny things has God made that our eyes can't see?  A lot.  God has planned out all we needed to live on earth.  In Haiti there is a plant called neam that u can brush your teeth with and the leaves you can boil and have a bug away spray.  Moranga is probably the healthiest tree in the world for you.  All this God created for Us.  We don't need Ipads, Iphones,computers or any of that at all but it consumes every one (even me).  God is magnificent!!!!!!!!
  

The Praise is His

A couple of days ago my friend Jenna, my mom, my dad and I went to a fair at a park.  

There was inflatables,pony rides, zebra show, music show and a lot of other things.  We had a lot of fun!  

So many things await other people.

  I am amazed of all the creations God had made.  He makes all things possible.  

The praise all goes to Him.

Helping others makes a difference

  Yesterday my brother got back from Ranger Adventure Camp.
  He got 1st place in Archery, Navigation in the night, turkey shoot, egg cook, (you have to build a fire and cook the egg.)   2nd place in string burn, and got 3 badges.  I was amazed that he got ribbons.  He said he had a great time.  While he was at camp I went to a horse show in Madison.  I loved the horses it was like I was living a dream.  Sometimes I need to ask myself "Why did God bless Logan and I SO much?"  I need to share the Amazing blessings with people who don't have anything.   Just think if We show the poor and sick people Jesus, they could reach the world with that little care that 1 person had, could make that big of a Difference. To show the people that They have a purpose   in life.  A lot of poor people think that they were a mistake.  Don't you think We should help Them believe they are God's handy work.

Helping one child at a time

  In the last week or two I have been here, something is happening.  I am really feeling more and more Good relationships, not just with my friends but with my family as well.  The more I am growing up I can see that.  I am talking with my family a lot.  I have been helping my friends with some hard things.  I am so thankful for all that God has given me.  I also am growing to love God more.  Some people from our church just got back from Royal Family Kid's Camp.   That camp helps kids who had a really bad life to make them feel like kings and queens.  I could use God's blessing that he gave me to bless others.  I really would love to go there with them.  I mean if I can help Haiti kids I would sure love to help more kids around the word!  I am to young to go though. :(
But I can do other things to help.  I love all the blessing that God has given me!

Back to Brandon

 On Saturday Logan and I arrived in America.  our plane ride was about 7 hours and our car ride was about a 3 hour ride to get to Brandon.
We stopped and ate lunch at this boat place.  The restaurant had really good food!  My good friend Jenna went to pick me up at the little airport with my grandma and papa.  Jenna and I went out on a boat deck or dock to see what are favorite boat was.  We LOVED 1 that had this beautiful brown tan on it.  It has been good  seeing family again!   I have not had time to spend with my grandma Karen or papa Savine yet.  I have been seeing a lot of my family but have not spent time with my Gma or papa. I am having a lot of fun seeing all of my family again!  Thank you Jesus for letting Logan and I arrive safely with our family!

Happy little boys

  Today Oberline and I went on the roof.  I said " Oberline look the corn, it's moving so fast."  Oberline said "I don't see it."  It has stopped moving.  I saw two little boys go out of the corn field.  I said " They have the corn."  Tikiline was down below and heard us.  She said "Hey what are you doing??"  (she was talking to the little boys)   They darted as fast as hey could to there houses.  Oberline and I went out to look how many they took.  They took 19 ears of corn.  Before they saw us they looked very happy at their little plan.
We planted a field of corn for the people in the village.    Who cares if they took corn.  It was going to be for them anyways.  They just got a blessing.  Praise The Lord that they will have food in their bellies tonight.   

Carmel

My dog Carmel is so funny.

Sometimes he lays crooked and upside down.  

He bites himself then yelps. He also can jump 3 feet off the ground.

I love him.  Today he got to lay in bed with me. He has finally learned not to bite the blanket.

If you say his name in a gentle voice he comes to you.

If you say his name in a deep voice he tries to hide.

He is a goofball.  He loves to pose too!

His eyes look like the universe to me. 

Leaving

Well, in 9 days me and Logan are going to the US.  We are going on a jet!  

It is also free.  My grandma Karen and papa Savine are going to pick us up 2 hours away.

It is really hard for me to leave my family, animals, friends and all the activities.

I am really exited to see my family and friends and sad to leave my animals, friends, and my mom and dad here.  Would it be hard for you to leave your family?  Logan and I are going to be alone without our  parents for 18 days.  That does mean more time for other  family.  It was very hard for me to even leave my dad in Haiti while me, Logan, and my mom went to America.  This is even going to be  harder.

I know though that Logan and I will be fine and my mom and dad will be too because an angel of The Lord will be watching over us. 

Thanks for a GREAT birthday!!

Today is my birthday.  I got woke up with my family, kitty, Bee, and some recies peanut butter cups!

After that we went to see Misty.  I hopped on her while my dad lead her in circle.  

Then we made some hot chocolate from the beans and had Bible study.  Tikiline and Oberline came and gave me some hugs.  We ate at this restaurant called the Hot Spot it was GREAT!!  There is really No resteraunts in Haiti. After that  we went  to a friend of ours farm.  I chased some baby goats and then me and Logan got our very own Goat to make more babies!!  The goats names are Oreo and Zoro.    I had so much fun today.  It was also very very very rainy.  

To my mom and dad:

Thanks so much for making the best Bday ever for me.  I really enjoyed it.

Lightning

My birthday is on Monday.

Today I got my first present.  

A pastor came and my mom called my name.  I ran out and saw a rooster.

I held it and I realized that this Is my present!

The rooster's name is Lightning.  He is white, gray and little brown and SUPER fast.

We gave him some rice and water.  He is a little bit freaked out.

He is a rooster of heart.

Cuddle bug

I love how I wake up in the morning.  My mom and dad unlock the doors kitty comes running in to jump on my bed and cuddle.  I make a circle with my legs and she lays right in the circle with her  two front paws on my legs.  I love cuddling my little kitty.  A week ago I got out of the shower and went to change.  My cat was In the room also.  I looked in my bin for what to wear and kitty does the same.  I said " Does this and this look good together?"  Kitty says " meow."  She is my style adviser.  I LOVE having animals in my bed.  But my dogs can not be in the bed.  My whole life I have dreamed about having a farm on an unhabbited island or living in a jungle with jungle friends.  God has started my island dream.  Know why?  Because I am on a island and have animals! 

Cast off!

Today I got my cast off.

  We were going to go to the hospital to remove my cast.

On our way there we called a missionary friend if he had a cast cutter.

He said he did and we could go there instead.  We arrived and he showed me the cutter.

It looked kind of like a saw, the cool thing was that the blade didnt actually move.

  The missionary was James.  The blade cut my cast then they had to pull it apart.

The cast cutter was not at all the picture I had in my mind.  I thought it would be a little machine that would cut it.  It felt so good to have it off.  Still swollen and sore though.  After we got it off they invited us to come dup stairs.  My mom and dad talked and talked while Logan and Oberline played.  I went to go hold a super cute baby. 

In about four days I should have my strength back.

Praise God I even got a cast! 

Among the poor

  Jesus has blessed me greatly.  I have a family, a home, animals, good friends,food, water, and a Bible.

  A lot of American kids never think of this because they dont know what it is like with out them.  I have seen 2 year olds all the way to 16 year olds have ragged clothes and a lot of people dont even have food.  These people are so poor.  Americans think we are really roughing it but we are SO far from roughing it.  The people who are working sing and praise God and have a smile on their face.
    Thank you Jesus for blessing me with these things that a lot of kids do not have.

The unordinary

A couple of days ago my brother and I went out to see Misty.  Logan took some bread with him to snack on.  We were approaching her and a loud whinny came upon us.  We were petting her and she took a bite out of Logan's bread.  After she took the bread she puckered her lips.  I told Logan "On movies I have seen horses eat Popsicles but not bread.  Maybe that will be the next movie they make."

What horse do you know eats bread?  Her favorite is wheat bread.  I can't wait to get on that filly!  Horses here get worked and ridden very young.  For a year now Haitians have been telling me" That horse is ready to ride, do you know how to climb on it?"  Yes yes yes I do and can't wait!  We have a little farm now because we have two dogs, 1 cat, and 1 horse.  There is a baby calf that my brother and I love we named him cafe.  So maybe we will expand our farm some day!

     God has blessed me with all the animals I could ever want.  The best part is they love me.

Look at the nature around you

  Look around you and see all the Beautiful things God made.  You will see nature.  I love nature so much!

I love animals so much also.  I have always dreamed of riding a Pegasus in heaven.  What have you always dreamed about doing in heaven?  Maybe you will want to sky dive?  You can do ANY thing you want to do in heaven.  I sure do have a lot of question I would love to ask God.  What are your questions?  What do you think about God?

Be my guest!

   Today while we all sat down to eat lunch, my mom or dad told me some thing I shall NEVER forget.
I have always wanted some visitors in our house.  I might just get one or two.  My cousin might come to visit us with a friend.  My dad said that he wants to know when it would be a good time.  I said "How about next week, or if he can get tickets tomorrow and come here Friday?"  I might just have a visitor coming!  Oh how fun it would be!  I would show them my horse, cat, two dogs, Abrico, coconut, crém, grape fruit, mangoes, bread fruit, Haitian macoroni, and much much more!

If any one wants to visit be my guest!

Thank you all

  I was just going into blogger, and I stopped myself to see how many people have read my blogs.
I just about screamed a little bit because of the HUGE number.
  Here is how many people read my blog: 3692 (MMMDCXCII).
I just wanted to say how much that meant to me.  It makes me happy that people don't think i'm just an ordinary 9 year old writer.  Thank you all for reading my blogs.  It makes me feel special.

Letting Go

   A lot of Americans struggle with loosing, selling, or giving their things.
Well, me too.  Last year I picked out all the stuffed animals I was going to bring to Haiti to give.
Well, I could barely let them go.  I only managed to give 1 of them away.  ( I do not know how the words are like this now.)   Think.  Will you give up your daughter or son to the Lord?  Would you ever let your children go away to another continent and only see them once a year?  I will tell you that it is tough leaving all your loved ones.  I miss the rest of  my family a lot.  But thank the Lord people invented messages and face time!  That is how we talk with our family.  Did God form us to worship him and stay in our little homes?  NO!  We need to be out and about telling about God's word.  There is a saying I like to use: Yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery. There is still work needed to be done around the world.

HAPPY B-DAY MOMMY!!

Give Glory to God

I got to say it is hard doing things with my cast.

It feels like now all the fun things are some how finding me and I can't do alot of them.

Now every time I see the boys who made me fall they have a sad and guilty look on their face.

They are sorry but they don't have the courage to say it.

I am getting a lot of visitors now a lot of them come to see if I am mad.

Almost every night some kids come and we play cards.

We play carro, UNO,go fish,pick up sticks, spoons, checkers, and this other Haitian game.

Some kids come to steel so we need to keep an eye on every single child.

I have fun playing with all my friends and these new kids.

I can feel my arm shrinking.  I can almost turn my cast all the way around.

I know that God has a plan for me.  And this will give him glory.   

Glorifie God

A couple days ago I was playing jump rope with my friends.
I saw my brother just running through the rope.  I tried to do the same but the kids swinging the rope let go.  I fell hard in mud and tried not to cry.  I was looking for Logan I knew he would help me.  I found him petting a calf on the other side of the field.  I tried to get to him fast because I was getting laughed at.  A couple days later I went to a Haitian hospital to get a X-ray.  I broke two bones but they are straight so they should heal fast.  I have a cast now it's red.  It's hard to write because I am using my left arm.   A lot of eyes look at me when I go some where.  All I know is some how this will glorifie God.

communicating

   Almost every night my brother and I go out and play one the soccer field.
All our friends love to play.   I made up a game where you throw a big jumprope and if it touches a persen they are it.  There are also only two bases and a big field.  Everyone loves playing the jumprope game and jump roping.  Sometimes while we play a bull walks in the field, a person is bike riding, a guy is running with his bull, a calf walks in the field, an old lady passes, or rain comes.  yesterday when we were playing I said look rain.  They said "No that is not rain."  Logan said "If it's not rain it is must be seven up."  We all laughed and kept playing.  I am trying to teach the kids to not laugh when someone is hurt or some one has fell.  God looks down and has a smile on his face because he is seeing kids communicate and having  fun. 

God said "Let there be rain." and there was rain

    This morning we got loads of rain.  My brother and I went to go see Misty.  I went barefoot because it would be to muddy.  We went out and there were puddles everywhere.  My brother thought she would not whinny because we left her in the rain, but she did.  The soccer field was covered in water.  Right down from the soccer field was a little ditch that had water about 1 ft deep.  We untied Misty to put her by a tree so she could dry off.  I decided to walk through the puddles anyways.  I stepped some where in the mud and sunk a little bit, it felt weird.  My mom and I took some brooms and went up on the roof to sweep off the water.  We had some leeks in the house.  We swept for a half an hour.  There is still a lot of water there.  My dad and brother were on mago duty.  Every morning about 46 mangoes  fall.  Tikiline and Oberline got here late because of all the rain.  They both were tired.  God watered the crops good today.  

An Adventure to be shared

Today my family and Oberline went up a mountain.  We were going up the mountain because Oberline wanted to see her family again.  She was so excited to see them she kissed the two ladies that she loved.  Even though they were mean to her she loved them. When Oberline was a restavic she would come down the mountain, and we would give her some clothes or some thing to help her.  Every time we went to see her she was in rags again, and the other kids were wearing the things we gave her.   This time when we went up with her, a little boy just popped a headband off her head and slowly went in the house.  It made me a little bit mad because they were taking things from her like they did when she was a restavic.  I watched the little boy grab some clothes on the rock and put the headband in the clothes.  He saw me watching him so he smiled with a guilty look on his face and just kept wearing it.  

There was a pastor with us too who wanted to show us his house.  We walked for a while then came across his house.  My brother, Oberline, and I stayed outside stitting on a coconut tree that had fallen over and regained its roots.  When my mom and dad went around back, the pastor's wife saw them and wept with tears of joy.  When we came in she started to wash all of our feet and hands.  We were a little bit embarrassed that we were so dirty.  After she washed our feet, the pastor brought some coconuts to drink.  We enjoyed those too.  The wife went in the house and yelled " John cut some abrico for them."  Abrico is my favorite fruit in Haiti.  Then we went to sit on the tree again and a guy started yelling at us down the hill saying to get down.  He was just doing it to be cool in front of his friends though.  

I walked back in the house and my dad said, "Abby we got a rooster."  I asked how?  He said your mother said in English "that is a pretty bird" and now we have a rooster. Wow!  How many gifts they gave us.  My dad said, " no you blessed us to much!"   She said no, God has blessed me because my daughter was suppose to die but God saved her life.  Amazing!  We came down and I could barely walk.  I was so hot and tired.  I think went over 4 or 3 mountains.  It sure felt like 10.  How amazing God is.  We should all be like that Haitian women, filled with God's love and spirit! 

 

Falling Gifts from God

This morning we went out to the front to collect the mangoes.  My brother and I found 24 out front, and 18 out back.  All together we have 42 mangoes!  There were some out front, out back, on the roof,and on the tin roof too!  Now my brother is saying we need to cut all those mangoes today before they go bad.  It is a Lot of work to cut all those mangoes!   Later this afternoon my brother and Tikiline cut all those mangoes.    I could not help because I was testing for this year. :(
But I still had fun testing though!

This is what the basket looked like before...

Then it looked like this

These are falling gifts from God.

Little Miss Darling

This is the little Miss Darling.  Her real name is Bèl, but I can't help but to call her little Miss Darling.

The Haitian way to call a cat is meme.  Is means kitten.  I always sing a little song like this one, "it is all about me me, all about me me".  I think it is funny.  This morning she was just about to jump in the garbage, then Logan called "meme!" She looked directly at him and got down.  This is my little Miss Darling.

She is so cute!  I love her so much.  It is going to be difficult to leave her again.

Our neighbor

Does any one know who our neighbor is?
My neighbor is the World. Some neighbors are nice some are mean and grumpy. Just like the world is grumpy and the world is happy. Out of 100%, 37 present is happy and telling about Jesus. Every Christians mission is tell as many people about Jesus as you can! God made us to tell about his miracles. A lot of non Christians see a miracle and then believe but by that time it is too late they are in a bright light by a white thrown. What will be their fate? Think about that, what is your fate?

Cashews=Nwa

My mom,brother,Oberline and I pealed nuts. In creole they are called Nwa. The nuts are called cashews. I had to take a picture of them. They looked so good and they weren't done yet! I asked if I could try them, and they tasted so good! They are also loaded with sugar. I love sugar and so does everyone in Haiti. Everyone loved them and are still munching on them. This is a gal that works for us. Her name is Tikiline she is a woman of the Lord. Look at the picture and say what they look like to you.

Please Pray

Yesterday we went to the hospital because Patchouko (Haitian friend) got into a moto wreck.
We found that they hit a little girl. She was unconscious for an hour. There was another guy on the moto also. To avoid hitting the girl Patchouko slid the moto on the ground and the girl jumped back and got hit. The doc who was working on Patchouko numbed his chin because part of his chin was he down. The doc numbed every place on his chin but one little area, that little area he stuck a hook in his chin. He felt that. Patchouko had road burns and so did the otherer guy, they were banged up good. There was blood on every patient they were working on even the ones they were not working on. The girl awoke and saw that a needle was getting put in her she said it hurt but only gave a couple tears. There was a man there too and his foot was rotting away. A 14 or 13 year old girl started crying because she has been there for a long time but no one was helping her. I felt so bad for all the people there. They had the worst service there because all the docs and nurses were laughing texting smiling and talking to each other. Not even paying attention to the sick and hurt people in front of them. A little boy was screaming in there also. There was a boy who was on the floor because he fell off of a taptap ( a taptap is a vehicle that people hang on to and if they fall they fall.) That room was the Emergency room. A lot of people were coming in there just to look at the sick people and smiling then leaving thinking nothing of it. We got our friends out of there and was going to pick up the crashed moto. The people took the moto and and the key. It was like insurance if the girl died. They got the moto and the man said they called the police. We took off patchouko jumped on the moto and gunned it. We drove right by the police and kept on going. Please pray for theses people.

God does make Christians suffer

   I just found out today that my cousin, Eathen who I think is five years old got by a tether ball.
It was not suppose to be out on the play ground yet because the ball was as hard as a rock.
My cousin got hit in the eye by this ball and might be blind for life in one of his eyes.  Please pray for my cousin and my uncle, as they both go through this.  God loves but some times he does make Christians suffer.  Eathen is not a christian either is my uncle.  But I think the lesson is for everyone.
  Our village is Houk, we are right next to Torbeck.  A couple of days ago a little Canadian boy was taken.
Also please pray for the boy and his parents.

Me and Judeline

     Last night I made some things with my Haitian friend.  Her name was Judeline.  She is my Best friend in Houk.  Judeline came over to our house at 7:13.  we were going to play cards, but I pulled out a play dough sweets box that I got from my cousins in Illinois.  She saw it and I knew she wanted to do it.  At first I didn't even now how do do it, then she pulled out instructions.  We both were going oh, oh, oh I get it.  We had an Amazing time creating delicious pretend treats.
    

Trust in the Lord

    Trust in the Lord.
Many many times I have been scared. Every time I get scared I say a quick prayer.
I was in Illinois for a week.
 I was riding a horse, now I was not afraid of the horse.  As I was riding, my saddle started to turn. I gave a little scream.  The saddle actually broke!   However I was back on in ten minutes and ready to go again.
I have ridden this beautiful Appaloosa before.  After I fell I was heading to  a little stream.  I kept on saying to myself, "Lord, please protect me."  Guess what? He did exactly that!  When I am scared I talk to God.  But I need to talk to him A LOT more.  Just think about this, Would you believe in a God that made water into wine?  Would you believe  in A God that can SAVE your life?  I mean do you know any one who can save you???
That is why I TRUST IN THE LORD!!!

Fish In the Pond Now Gone

   While we were in America, we found out all of our fish have died.  We think it is because we bought new food and some thing spilled in it.  And now because all the fish are gone all of the duck weed is this yucky color, The water is like swamp water and every side of the cistern is green.  My brother is bucketing out all of that and saw a daddy fish.  It is the only fish we have left.  I think it was all fun, even though we didn't get any of our fish.  It was a project for GOD!!!!!!

What God can do

This morning when we were on the plane I saw the most beautiful thing ever! I have seen it when I was on the ground but it is even more beautiful in the air. God can make the coolest of things. What a warm welcome to haiti. I decided to share this beautiful thing with you. How amazing is our GOD!!!!!!!!!

A song of peace

     Ever since I got back to America I Heard a song.  It was "you are my all in all."  I always wipe my eyes when I hear it.  I did that because I remembered when my mom taught a class in Haiti.  All the Haitian wanted to learn American songs.  Their favorite was "You Are My All In All."  When they sung it wasn't like a soft song it was hard and they meant what they were saying.  Even if they didn't know all the words.  That I just felt like sharing today.

You Learn A lesson Every day

          Yesterday I went to meet my cousin at a stable so I could get some equipment for Misty.
So we got a halter and a lead rope.  After that we saddled up Coconut and Janey.  I was trotting, loping,cantering, and walking Janey.  Then my cousin Shelly said we should go out side with the horses.  So my mom held the reigns well I was on, and Shelly was holding Coconuts reigns while her daughter Was riding Coconut. I asked my mom if I could have the reins she said sure.  Then as we were all going back happily, my horse went ahead of the other horse.  She wanted to get to the barn so she went behind the bushes.
  Out of nowhere she got so exited she started to crow-hopping (which was like a little buck).  I was holding on as tight as I could.  My feet slipped out of the stirrups and I went plump on the ground!  I was in tears.  My knee hit the ground first, then I bent my leg the wrong way.  Because my horse got so exited, so did Coconut. She started to do the same thing.  
My cousin was younger than me and she was also scared.  Her mom grabbed her off the horse.  My mom went to go get Janey.  After a while I stopped crying, however today I am really stiff.  

Shelly:  It was not your fault the horse started to buck. It was mine.  I wanted to have the reins so bad.
I learned a good lesson.  Thank you for the wonderful time Shelly, and the equipment.   I still had an AMAZING TIME!!!!!!!!! 

Happy Birthday Dad

March 14th was my dad's Birthday.  I searched the web for some good poems and copied them.  After I copied them, I sent them in an email to my dad.  He thought I wrote them.  He was making funny faces saying did you write these?  I said no.   I think he enjoyed his Birthday.  Later that night I did write him a poem.

     I will love you until the day I leave this world.
 And I know some day I will meet you there In that place of peace,
Where there are many rooms and the streets are made of gold.
But even Gold can't can make me love it more than you.
You are the person I admire and look up to for wisdom.
I love you daddy-o and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

                     That was the poem I wrote for my dad

Some Times I Don't Know What to Think

             April 3rd we leave for Indiana.  Then we will stay there for a week, and we will go to Saint Louis And fly out of there and off we go!  I can't wait to see My friends, Tikiline, Carmel, Bee, Misty, and little miss kitty.  I love Haiti.  But every time I am there I am wondering "Hmm, Will any one visit this year?"  It is always a mystery who will come down.  We have some friends called Luke and Rachel who might come down to stay with us for a little while.  It is funny, because a lot of people say to me "Oh I will come to haiti this year and visit you."    I get those words stuck in my mind.  But then they never actually come.  So now I don't know what to think.  But visiters or not, I still like living in Haiti!!

Grandma Day

        Yesterday it was a Grandma Day.  So the whole family went to town.  First we went to Pepper Jax to eat.  We had to wait in line for a long long time.  After a little while we got to the front and ordered.  When everyone was done we left and I jumped in the car.  My papa said to me I guess you dont want any.  He was talking about Cherry berry.  So then I leaped out of te car and leaped in Cherry berry.   It was so much fun!  After that we went to an olive place where you can try all of the juice.  Then our car's little wheels rolled down to Barns and Noble.  My mom and I went to Barns and Noble, while Grandma went to go get a pedicure.  I have no idea where the boys went.  But All I got to say is it was a very very very fun day with GRANDMA!!!!!

Daddy daughter date

         Ok, I had this blog written for a long long time but never posted it so I decided to fix it up. Me and my dad were on a daddy daughter date.  We had a Haitian friend with us. His name was Lucnare, and he was a pastor.  We were going to a plant farm with chickens and goats.  When we walked through the plants they were.........HUGE!!.  It was the biggest plant field I ever saw.  On the way to see the goats there was a guy shredding weeds (kinda like a mower). It was cool.  Next to that there was a cherry tree.  I love to eat cherries off the tree.  We bought moranga plants and peppers( which are very expencive here).  After that we went to Lucnare's mom's house.  We went there yesterday and said we would come back tomorrow to take pictures of her harvesting her rice.  When we got there she was way over to the other side! (Rice needs water to grow so it's very muddy).  As we were walking across I slipped 3 times.  Then my dad fell in and his jeans were covered in mud, and his foot was stuck.  But we continued.  Lucnare jumped into the mud to get across. Then he told ME to jump in too!  I said to myself " oh no!" I jumped into the brown and slippery stuff.  We had a problem...IT WAS PAST MY KNEES!!!!!!  I told my dad I was sinking in the mud, so he grabbed me and I climbed up. My dad made a decision and turned back.  Luknare said to cross by the house in the rice so we did that.  When we got to the house they grabbed water and a basin and started to wash our feet and clothes.  We refused and we washed ourselves.  My dad said to me "what do you think?"  I said IT was ok.  Anyway, I enjoyed spending time with my dad.  What an experience.  

A New Church

      Today my dad and I were at Brandon Valley Assembly of God.  Our church was building on to our other church and we were helping out.  I was a sweeper, and my dad was a sweeper, a light holder, and a cleaner of the paint brushes.  He had done many things.  There were about 10 other men there helping paint too.  They were painting as we were sweeping.  It was a big church so there was a lot to paint and a big mess to sweep!It was fun anyways.
     The guys who were painting had really big things to paint with.  Whatever it was it painted VERY fast.  I was standding next to those guys, and when I got home I had some paint on my face.  I love our church and so far our brand new church.  God has blessed us with another place to gather and that means more room for more people.  

Little bible

March 7th I got a brand new little bible. I have been wanting a little because it would be easier to take it places, I don't always need to open a case. I am not saying I don't like big bibles. I love my new bible. I am grateful for what I have been given, I think everyone loves getting gifts. I love read in my Bible. I sure am learning a lot, but I am not done learning and either are you!
My dad wrote this in my bible Job 23:10

Chocolate chip cookies

       Today my dad and I made chocolate chip cookies.  The recipe was written down 30 years ago and my grandma and grandpa still have it.  I love to make things.  That is a gift God gave to me.

Time goes by fast

  Yesterday my cousin had to put down her horse Charlie.
He was a palamino. He was about two of me tall.
When he galloped it was so smooth.  He was so beautiful.
He ran like he was pleased to be alive.
It sure was easy to fall in love with him.
I am glad I got to even meet that spirited, kind, loving horse.

Haiti And America

          I have got to say I really miss Haiti And my friends,my animals.
I miss a lot of things that I can't do here.  Like cooking Haitian food for my family and others.
I miss hearing my horse whinnies.
My family has a mission, and that is giving bibles to Haiti.
Even though we do not have a house that we actually bought or any thing else,  That does not matter to me at all.
I love what my family does.  And I am not going to let words knock me down.
All the time people ask me what place do you love better?
I can only say I love both places.
And I always will.
If an earth quake comes and destroys all of the beautiful things in Haiti,
that won't change my feelings for Haiti.
Now, I am not saying I love Haiti more that America.
I love both.
God put that love in my heart.

WY

                Today, my dad left for WY.  Usually I come with him Or the whole family does.
He is going there to talk to his dad.  My dad's dad, lives on a DH farm (DH=Dog horse)
He has 2 mules and 4 horses.  I renamed the mules though.  I made up a song of all of their names.  Here it is         Brown beauty, Black beauty, Charlie, Joe,Missy,Candy.  Missy and Candy are girls.  The first 2 are mules.
Then he has Like twenty dogs.  He gave one of his dogs to us, but we had to go to Haiti so we had to return her and our old dog who died 2 months ago.  They were both great dogs.  The little one that my papa gave me is still there.   I love my papa and my grandma.  They sure do have a heart for animals.

Jenna

             Today I felt like to write about my good friend Jenna.
I met Jenna last year.  Last year she was praying for me to like the rice and beans, And my dad to heal from the moto accident.  So she knew me but I did not know her.  So one afternoon Jenna and her mom  was walking their dog.  That was the day I met Jenna.  Now I see her every church day.  We play together almost every day too.  Actually Me and her just had a sleep over two nights ago.
I love my BFF.  She lives on the other street next to our house.  She is so sweet, so much fun, so nice, and the best friend I could ever have.

DON'T BE JEALOUS

           I can't tell you how many times I saw something and wanted it.
Then when I saw that something, I wanted to so bad.
I am just really happy for what I have.
Last year when I was coming back to America,
My dad showed me a picture of horses.  The horses were for a friend of mine.
But later, I realized that I was happy for her.
I could tell you many times I was jealous.
Now when I see pictures of the horse I smile.
I don't even know why I was Jealous I mean I have any thing I could ever want.
Now I am Jealous for what I have.
Because I love what I have.
I got to say I miss waking up to roosters,I miss climbing half way up a palm tree,
I miss my life in Haiti. The thing is Every time I am in Haiti I miss America, and every time I am in America I miss Haiti.  But I love both places.

Daddy Daughter dance

    Ok,
My dad just got back from Haiti.
I asked him if he would take me to the Daddy Daughter Dance tomorrow.  He said it would be an honor.
I was all dressed up and exited.  First he took me to a beautiful restaurant, then he took me too the dance.
We were the first on the floor dancing together.
There was lights everywhere, a disco ball,a goody table oh how much fun we had!!!!
We were dancing for 3 hours.  He made me feel special.  I will never ever forget that night.
I wish I could do that ever single night.
I LOVE THAT MY DAD LOVES ME!!!!

Snow

           Today my papa and brother and myself made a snow man,a snow turtle, and I made a nest for for the turtle that had eggs in it.
It was very cold.   I really missed spending time with my family.   I will never say no if my family asks me to do some thing with them.   I love my family.....when I say I love my family I mean every grandma and grandpa and aunt all of my family.   I tried to get pictures of the snow statues but it was white and there fore I would only see white.  And I could not find the folder I put them in.  I love doing things with my family though.  I AM GLAD I HAVE A FAMILY!!! 

Helping Haiti

       There was a newspaper that my grandma showed me and it had a picture of a girl on it.
She read it out loud,  The girl on the newspaper raised 6,000 dollars for Haiti to build a play ground. Think what kind of ministry could come from a a play ground!Those kids must be so happy.  I never knew this girl.  She is 11 years old.  We are emailing each other now.  She wants to know more about Bibles for Haiti!  I hope some day we can meet each other.  Look, another  girl who loves Haiti and wants to help.   WHAT A BLESSING!!!!

Everything Loses Life

   Hello again!
  My mom and my brother and myself have gone back to America.
We went back because my grandpa and my uncle were in hospice.
But yesterday we went to my grandpas funeral.
Let me tell you from the beginning.
 We got a call from our family saying we need to come home.
We did not know what to do.
My dad emailed every missionary he knew in Haiti.  1 of them responded and said he was bringing a team tomorrow morning,  so we went with them.  It was a really fun trip...
because we were all sitting in the very back of the plane.  The flight attendance were very nice...they gave the whole team and us 3 extra brownies and gave us first class cheese cake! We all liked him.
    We spent the night in New York.  Right after we flew into Sioux Falls we were greeted by our GOOD friends the Todd family!  We got picked up by my moms dad and headed straight to hospice but we were 1 hour too late.  We saw lots and lots of tears that day.  But he is in a better place.

Misty

     Well,  my mom and I were cooking up some home made soup.

There was a knock at the gate, so I ran outside the door.   It was Wilbert (Haitian friend.)

He asked for my dad, so I went in our back yard to get him.

After that I started helping my mom again.

My dad said "He wants to take us somewhere as a family."

So we left our cooking soup.   We went to a HUGE market 1 side was selling food and the other side was selling animals.   Wilbert kept on leaving us in the shade ( We did not know why.)

So he came back again and told my dad something.  Then my dad turned over and said" This is the point where we need to tell Abby."  So I leaned in and he said I was getting a ...HORSE!!!!!

I had tears in my eyes, but since we were in a HUGE market that means there was a lot of people so he did not want me to cry.  (It was hard not to cry.)   I have been wanting a horse my whole life.

    I could not pick out a horse because we are white and they would raise the price. 

All day long I was waiting for the horse a rive (I felt like they forgot they were going to bring her.)

Her name is Misty.  She has a first name a middle name and a last name it goes like this...Misty Blaze Breeze.

  She has a little bit of an attitude.  She is not like a American horse because she does not like apples or carrots she likes...mangoes.  But she is a filly.  Misty makes a cute little noise when she sees me.

She is a baby and the Haitian's were already working her to the bone.  She needs some TLC (tender,loving,care.)

WHAT A GIFT FROM GOD!!!

Forming Something New

          Today my dad and brother and I were walking down a path with our dogs.   I did not know where we were going.   Some of our Haitian friends went with us, Tikiline, Wilbert,and his son Rubins.
Then we arrived at a little home.   There were a lot of men working.   It was really cool because First we saw a man forming a cooking pot and smoothing it down.  Then we saw a man who had a HUGE hammer in his hand. He was hitting some old pots that people threw out and other metal things.  Our gal that cooks for us needed a big pot and they made Really big pots.  Logan said to her "You can make a whole lot of popcorn!"   Then they threw in the pieces that they broke into a barrel and melted it. After they threw them in, it became like liquid.  It was so hot you couldn't even look in it.  It is really cool how Haitians make things in Haiti.  (My dad has not started a blog on this yet because he said he has no pictures to show, so make sure to go to his blog and see the pictures when he writes it.)   They found all these thing that were garbage and made something new with it.  Just like God,  he made us out of dust.   And every day he makes something new out of scratch.   Is he not the coolest GOD ever!?  

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

                 

            Our whole family went to a hospital because my mom had REALLY bad eczema infection and a lady had bad skin problems so we took her too.   So we were leaving and having a fun car trip.   

      When we were at the hospital we also waited and waited and waited hhh and waited.   The whole time we were there my brother and I asked for....COOKIES!!!   Me and my dad went out of a room and called a friend of ours (Mr doc Paul).   He went to go get the other doc to come and see us but again we had to...wait.   So Mr doc Paul offered to take me and my brother to his house and make a cake with him for a tea party.  Mom and dad said yes, so off we go.   We had to stop at a store and get some groceries with him.    I asked him if he ever had Haitian macaroni, but he said no.   He said do you know how to make it?   Well yes I do.  So he asked me if I would make some. I said yes!    It was GOOD!!

We also went up to ladies’ tea with his boys and 1 girl.   There were a lot of people at the tea party.

All the boys went down to play soccer (including me).   But we did not stay long because my brother and I weren't feeling good, so we went back up.   Before we knew it it's time to go!     As we were leaving, my brother got down on his knees and puked.   So now he is in bed lying down but he has no fever.   PRAISE THE LORD!

On the way home it was dark and the people think you can see them but you can’t so it’s crazy at night.

         Again PRAISE THE LORD WE MADE IT BACK SAFE!!!

Bell

While me and my mom were cooking eggs,  my dad and my brother walked in with a bag that was making a noise.  My mom and I thought it was a fish because it was moving.  We walked with my brother and my dad to see what it was and it was a ................CAT!  A cute little baby cat.   She was scared  at first.  But now I am looking at her laying in a little cardboard box with a rope tied around her neck so she won't run away.  Bell means beautiful in Creole.  A friend of mine asked me in an email, "Why did I not see any cats while I was on a mission team?"  I told her it is sad because they eat cats in Haiti.  This is our VERY first cat in Haiti.  My mom and dad says Carmel and Bell will be good friends when they grow up.  Carmel REALLY wants to meet this Bell.  But not yet, she is still afraid of him.  Wow,  God sure does bless our family!

magnificent!!!!!!

      One month ago, me and my dad were going to visit a missionary friend.  We were going there to return a cord that he let us use, to try to get wireless but it didn't work.  He was telling us about a tree, but a magnificent one.  This tree produced no fruit,  but its leaves are FULL of protein and vitamins!  There are not so many of these trees in America. But in Haiti they grow naturally.  You can't cook the leaves, or all of the good stuff will vanish.  My my mom makes an AWESOME salad with the leaves.  Some people put the leaves on top of their food.  This tree is like a market all in 1 place.  In Revelation it talks about a tree that produced 12 different kinds of fruit, think about it a different kind of fruit each month.  Maybe just maybe this tree is related?  I want to wait for that tree!  You would wonder how much does GOD care for us?  Well I can answer that quicker then a heart beat........A LOT!
Who wants to follow him?.....I DO!
