Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!! Hoping you all have a safe and wonderful time surrounded by those you love celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!!

2010 so far

This year has been an eventful one! It started of with the horrible earthquake in Haiti, then the good news of Fritz getting his visa. We got married on August 14th and learned that we are expecting a little one in 2011. Fritz got to experience snow for the first time and has mixed feelings. The cold hasn't been his friend, but after living in the caribbean his whole life who can blame him? We are so blessed to be surrounded with such great family and friends who have helped and supported us through all of this!

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope everyone has a great end to 2010!!

November update

It has been a long time since I have updated and I apologize, it has been a combination of inconsistent internet, missing camera battery charger, and a hectic schedule.

Since my last post Nathalie has taken custody of November (the abandoned boy in the hospital) and he has been living with us. He has grown so much already! He is walking, babbling, and getting into everything.

Here is a picture of the little cutie! I tried to take a better one yesterday when he had cheetos all over himself, head to toe, but it didn't turn out :(

It's been awhile...

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I came back from Amber's wedding and hit the ground running. I have traveled all over the country twice (at least that's how I feel) and have not had internet frequently.

Some great news is that I was able to deliver more food to the orphanage Agape in Camp Perrin and a little girl we had given some medicine to for her eyes is completely healthy now! They were so loving and welcoming I was glad to be able to get back there!

A lot more has happened, and I hope to be able to keep you more updated in the future. God Bless you all for all you do to help others here and wherever!

Kids in the Hospital

Here is Sarafina and Kervins. Sarafina is 11 years old and from a village in Cayes. She had seizures last week. The doctors still don't know why and so she is staying in the hospital for now. She said she feels fine but they still want to keep her for awhile just in case.

Kervins is 7 years old and from a village in Cassamajor. A bed fell on his leg a week and a half ago and smashed it up pretty good and broke the bone. He had both sides of his lower leg cut open and a cut on top of his foot. They stitched him up yesterday saying he should be able to keep his leg. Tonight I went and visited him and he still has a lot of pain in his leg. Hopefully he is up and running sooner rather than later.

Please keep both of them in your prayers!

November

Nathalie and I have been visiting an abandoned boy in the hospital for the past couple of weeks named November. We think he about 3 years old judging from his teeth. He is very small and could pass for about an 18 month old. He doesn't talk but understands almost everything. He also doesn't know how to express himself except through anger. We always know when he is thirsty or hungry because he starts hitting and biting. Nathalie has been supplying the hospital with diapers and water for him because normally the family would bring these items into the hospital. He is getting stronger and has been walking almost everyday with the help of others. However he still has an abnormally large stomach and a ways to go to get completely healthy. Please keep him in your prayers as he continues to heal physically and psychologically.

More Sunday School pictures

Here are some more pictures of the adorable little ones that attend our weekly Sunday School. This week in addition to the four blankets we gave out four kites left over from a recent group.
