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.
