Prayer Request!

Please keep Odius (our main boss) in your prayers. He apperently has a nerve problem in his upper left leg. I had to take him to the hospital today. He was released with several medicines along with shots for the next several days. He was in so much pain, he was unable to walk. He is our right hand man when it comes to construction and everyday know hows. Drex has taught him well. He is to return to the doctor on Marh 7th.

Thank you,

Michelle

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil!!

Dear friends,

I just had to share this photo with you all. Our these not the cutest little things you have ever seen??? If you haven’t met them in person, their personalities are even cuter. You just need to come and see for your selves how wonderful God’s little children are.

We did take a road trip to day to the airport in Jacmel. The kids have been wanting to see an Avion (airplane) So we showed up in time to see two different planes take off. The kids were so excited. It is so much fun to see the excitement on their faces at the little things that most of us take for granite. They all then told me they had their passports with them and they were ready for the next plane to take them to America.

Well I better go for now. Don’t sweat the small stuff, but enjoy the comforts that we have.

your friend,

Michelle

Pouring of the Roof!

So I wake up this morning at exactly 5:30 wide eyed and bushy tailed. I sit and wonder why I would wake up so early and be wide awake??? Then I get the call. It is Odius (our big boss), Michelle come and open the gate we are here early to pour the roof. So I jump up to open the gate and there stands about 20 men ready for work. I wonder if men there in the States would be so on fire to work. It is amazing to watch these men work. I know that I would never be able to do what they do.

As far as the children here at the Hands and Feet Project, they are up and going as well this morning. We are so blessed by the smiles and hugs of each one of the kids. Little Jean Jean is growing so fast. The only problem we are having with him is that he is just so cute and everyone wants to claim him as their baby. It is so cute to see how the children have welcomed Little Jean Jean here. Roosevelt has just fallen in love with the baby. He actually got to feed him last night. I think it really made his day. God bless you all. Please continue to pray for our kids, the mission, the missionaries, and their families.

God Bless,

Michelle

Nashville Medical Team

Bonjour everyone,

Yesterday, Feb 9, 2007 I had the opportunity to host a small medical team from Nashville TN, Lynn Blair-Anton, Greg Anton, and Amy Cox. They were only here for the day. They had the chance to give our kids a check up and even see a couple of neighbors. They were a great group to have here. The only down fall was that they were only able to stay for the day. So we tryed to get as much stuff packed into one day. Hopefully they will be back. The only down fall of having this medical team here right now is that our kids are all healthy (thanks to the care of our P.A. friend Teresa and our great care from our Nannies.) But hey what would one want healthy or sick?? I would take healthy anyday!!!

Everyone and everything here at the Hands and Feet Project seems to be going well. The children are thriving so well. “My” new baby Jean Jean is growing so fast. He is actually starting to smile. (It’s because he loves me so much.) Or it might be because he likes to trick you into thinking he is done filling his diaper!!!! Yuck!!

The second story of the house is coming along really well. Odius and the other workers will be pouring the roof within the week. It is exciting to see the work that God has laid before us and the finished product at hand. What a great and wonderful God we serve.

Until tomorrow,

Michelle
