Sometimes I'd like to ask God why He allows poverty, famine and injustice when He could do something about it. But I'm afraid He might ask the same of me.

The next post has details from our last couple of days and we'll try to post more later. Pictures in one post, words in another! lol Sorry.... It's Haitian internet! lol

Ace Ventura his first time spear fishing. Got a stingray that actually tried to sting him!

This was a family that we went to meet and check on the boy in the wheelchair. He had been fine earlier in years, and then would just start falling down when walking to school. Then one day he just stopped walking and couldn't get up. They don't know why....

Diane, Kevin and Alexandra his sponsored sister :o) What a sweetheart! She came back to the house today after seeing us yesterday because she had made gifts for Kevin and Diane. Plaster/Ceramic Hearts with flowers she made herself.


This is a little boy that has been through the Medical Mamba (super powered peanut butter!) program with his papa. The last time Diane was here just a few short months ago he wasn't expected to live, and he was walking when we went to visit. :o)

The nut again... I mean Kevin, learning to climb coconut trees! Yes, he fell several times, but persistence paid off! :o)


Diane had someone donate this stroller for this little girl. It came from Chillicothe. She has a bone disease where she has VERY minimal movement and her bones are extremely brittle. Just touching her too hard can break them. She was SOOO happy to get the stroller and have Kevin take her for a ride. We went back the next day to take some more stuff to her and she sang to us, "Here I am to worship". It was beautiful to here her little voice. And, she's 7. Yes, SEVEN.

Oh, and Annette.... Kelsey sat next to her in church this morning. It was just like being at home. They played all through service! ;o) She laughed and laughed with Kelsey. It was so funny! She was all dressed up in her pretty white sundress with a little bonnet and pearl earrings.


Taylor skipping rocks in the ocean. This is the little boy who didn't speak any english but Taylor has learned enough to play with him and found out his name and how old he was, etc. He laughed at her.


Our trip to the orphanage.


This little girl is Olivia, she is one of the missionary's adopted daughter and they came for dinner last night. We all played with Olivia! She's a sweetheart!

Our internet is really bad here so we have been keeping journals. We'll share with everyone when we get home, but at least this way you get photos in one post and the story in the next.... if we're lucky! ;o) lol

Love and miss you all! :)
