Cookies

For the past few years Martha and I have been decorating cookies and selling them to my grandmother and her friends. On Saturday for the last time in 6 months we made cookies! On next Saturday Martha will be leaving to go to IHOP Atlanta for the pursuit internship for 3 months. I am really going to miss her. :( Anyway we had a lot of fun with our individual pieces of edible art! 

Home from Haiti

Well I just got back from a month in Haiti! It was wonderful to be back with all the kids. Many things at the mission have changed since we were there in January, Keith and Cindy now have their own home placed conveniently between the boys home and the crèche, and Vance and Hanna now live down at the boys home where they are the parents to 32 boys as well as their own 5 children...wow. It was such a privilege to be able to join this family in serving over 60 children. Due to the current crisis in Haiti many have come to our doors in need of help. There is so much hunger and so much need in this tiny country. Our family grew by 6 children in just the month I was there, one of which was a 12 day old named Davidson his mother had died from child birth and his father could no longer take care of him. He is a precious baby and I loved holding him even though he liked to keep me up all night. I was blessed to be able to spend a lot of my time down at the home helping Aunt Hanna and getting to know the boys. Each one of those boys is wonderful and I am so excited to watch them grow up in the Lord and one day change Haiti from the inside out.
