Prayers, Latest BHM Newsletter, Lou, Shopping, BHM Update

We would appreciate your prayers today for my mom who is having surgery on her back today to remove some calcium deposits near her spine that is causing pain down her leg. We pray that the doctors have had a good night's sleep and that the Lord will guide their hands as they solve the problem. We're thinking about you Mom!

Newsletter

The latest Baptist Haiti Mission newsletter went out recently and it contains information on the back page about the packing that we did for those affected by the weather. Our daughter Kayla is pictured with Abigail at a table of cooking oil and metal cups. (Thanks Dad for the scanned image!)


Lou

Lou's face is getting better. The doctor told us that he thought it was a type of fungus on his face. He did prescribe medicine and gave us a package of some cream, but we have been solving it with some non-medicinal things. In a couple more days it should be completely gone. We're a little adverse to medicine if we can do without, but we realize that it is sometimes necessary.

Shopping

Our friend Kris B. came yesterday and brought us a number of things that we requested. (Thank you so much Kris!!) The one thing that I am most thankful for is the new bed sheets. The ones that she bought are so soft, smooth, and comfortable - it's a great treat and I know we slept better last night because of it.

BHM Updates

Pastor Rob took off for the northern part of Haiti Monday morning. He is expecting to be gone for most of the week.

Today is the last day that the World Servants folks will be here. It will seem almost too quiet around here when they are gone (Kyrk and his family may welcome the break from activities). Today is also the last day that I will not have many vehicles here to work on.

We have had some interesting things happen with the four-wheeler. It appears as if one of the workers of the organization that owns it but left it for dead now wants it back. We're working on negotiating whether they pay us for the work or let us keep it. This makes for interesting situations...
