May 28, 2010

No, I did not fall off the side of a cliff. It seems I have had my plate full for the last month. I will try to give you bullet points to bring you up to date on what has been going on in the lives of the Heady's and the ministry in Haiti.
1.GO Board meeting...April 23,24 went very well. David and David, Jr were able to attend
2. David and I had the privilege of speaking to the Hancock Co Assn of Baptist Women...actually
there were several men present. Appreciate the opportunity to share our ministry
3. May 2nd...our children had an open house at church for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. It
was great to see everyone. The decorations were awesome. People came from TN, KY, IN, ILL and as far as FL. We received many cards and calls later of those who had intended on coming but were hindered by the storms and the major flooding in KY and TN. Thanks for all those who shared in this very special time for us. David and I left on Monday for a trip to Hawaii. We were able to see most of the islands. Very lovely.
4. David had some chest tightness during the week. We decided that we would have him checked out when we arrived back on the mainland.
5. Arrived back in KY on Tues. Wed we called his cardiologist in Nashville and they asked us to come straight down and check into the ER. After testing him they decided to keep him overnight and do a heart cath on Thursday.
6. The heart cath was done around noon Thursday. Right before going in for the cath we received a phone call that David's youngest brother Jimmy had been found dead at home. What a shock!
7. We returned to Owensboro by 7pm Thursday. Friday morning we met with the family and made funeral arrangements.
8. Saturday the 15th we had visitation and the funeral at 2pm. Please pray for all the family.
9. May 20th we were packed, traveled to Louisville to meet with a team of 11 headed up by David Jr and our granddaughter Christy Maser. Our plane was to fly at 2pm but was cancelled. Our plane had been hit by lightning and had to be recertified. We spent the night in Louisville and flew out on Friday. This time instead of the planned overnight stay in Miami the airlines rerouted us to fly Louisville to Dallas, Dallas to Miami and Miami to PAP all in the same day. That was great but 26 pieces of luggage didn't make it. PTL! they showed up the next day.
10. In Miami we met up with a team of four from City on a Hill. What a great team they are. This film production company came to Haiti to film our ministry as well as another ministry called Edge Outreach. We will be anxious to share with all of you when the DVD's are complete.
