claudine and emisson

in rwanda, it was esther and isaac. in haiti, it is claudine and emisson.

we are filthy, exhausted, and filled to the brim with happy :) just hanging out at an orphanage is truly like no other experience ever. these kids need attention soooo badly. i think after being in africa, i am not shocked at what i see. but you never get used to seeing kids just wandering around with nothing to do. what is sweet is that they don't argue or fight with each other :) certain ones attach to you and are little leeches that just want to know they are the one. the special one.

it is days like today that make you feel satisfied. it is days like today that i pray God allows me to keep on loving the orphan. these kids can't be adopted and so the way to help is to give. give of your time and your money. to all the people who gave donations, thank you! you are blessing people!!! while the need is endless, it is so wonderful to know how to help. right now, a well is being dug and a wall is being built around the perimeter of the property. cubicles for each child were built today and more church pews were assembled.

pictures are taking forever to upload so i will do that when time permits.

cathy, our missionary here who is hosting us, just came and squeezed me and thanked me for making the effort to come to her world. i come for a week; she has been here almost 30 years. she is a rare servant of God. i am honored to work alongside her.

much love....
