It's A Beautiful Day

Dear friends and loved ones,
It's a beautiful morning here in Haiti. Already several are mentioning about the heat!!
We have had our breakfast and morning devotions. What a great time to share around the circle and introduce ourselves to the family here and to be reminded that we are all the family of God. It was good to see the children and to receive the hugs of not just the children but the staff as well. Now most every one is scattered around doing their various duties and assignments.
Most of us have been to the school site and what a great spot. You will see a big difference from the last time we were here and I will post some pics later.
Please continue to pray for us as the real work of building and interacting with the hired men begins. Pray also for those who will not be working on the building - some will be doing repairs around the compound, some will be helping in the kitchen, some will be working with the children and some will be working on the computer. Every job is important for the whole compound to work efficiently. Your prayers are so important.
We love you all
Blessings
Pastor Dennis

Hi guys - it's Dad (Tim). I heard you were having a bad ice storm - hope you guys are safe. Has it melted yet? Mommy said it was warming up.

Glad you're having fun on the computer Erin!

Kate, I'm glad you heard from Lauren but sorry her grandmother isn't well. I'll pray for her too, and Lauren's family.

Love you all!
