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!

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!
