Long time....no write.
Oct 2013 until Nov. 12, 2013 David and I were in the US. We did MOT (Missionary Orientation Training) in Tupelo, MS the first week of Oct and then GO Mission Fair and GO Board meeting the first weekend in Nov. David also underwent some medical testing at Vanderbilt trying to discover the problem with his shoulders and an upper and lower GI. They found nerve damage in two nerves. They think this may be causing the "shakey hands". Taking some meds to overcome the symptoms of the stomach and intestines.
We had the blessing of sharing an early Thanksgiving with our family before returning to Haiti.
We had the pleasure of hosting the CEO of Agape and a photographer the first week of Dec. Agape had been given money during the earthquake. They still had several grants to give out to ministries doing post earthquake projects. We applied for a $15,000 grant to drill three wells and were blessed to receive the entire amount. We were able to show the Agape crew how their funds had blessed so many. Each well provides water to approximately 500 per day.
Christmas.....Such a joy to hand out the gifts to the school children. Over 500 hundred children were blessed with toys, candy and hygiene products. THANK YOU First Baptist Church Hendersonville, NC for gathering and bringing all these gifts to share. We love Christmas in Haiti with all our Missonary staff and Haitian staff. Such fun having our Mennonite neighbors come Christmas caroling on the 23rd. We had lasagna and all kinds of finger foods and desserts for the 53 in attendance. Thirty-two for Christmas dinner. God is good !!!! !
