Weekend in Jacmel

What a wonderful city Jacmel is and a beautiful country Haiti is! I am so blessed to get to serve the people of this country. This past weekend I had the opportunity to return to the southern part of the country to the city of Jacmel. This time, however, instead of flying down there, we drove. It was a gorgeous drive through the mountains and through numerous little villages. It always amazes me where people decide to live and how they make their lives in what seems like the middle of no-where to me! I was able to do a few follow-up treatments with the family with the little boy by the name of Jabez. This is the little boy with Cerebral Palsy that I told you about a few months ago. He is doing great. He is putting on weight, interacting in his environment, beginning to reach a little with his right hand, and beginning to sit by himself. His mom is doing a wonderful job with the exercises that I gave them on my last visit and she was very excited about the new exercises that I showed her this time. I was also blessed to help with a mobile medical clinic there. It was fun for me because I met some really fun people from the New York area who are Haitian Americans that returned to their home land with this mission team to help the people of their country! They were fun and we had a great time! Then at the end of it all, we drove back to Port-au-Prince through the same majestic mountains and amazing small villages. The more I see of this country the more I am amazed!

Art, Ecrissa, and her friend!!!

So, I think, Ecrissa has an imaginary friend and she is so cute with this little friend. She will often look off to the the side and use sign language with this little friend. Sometimes I'll tell Ecrissa to "come" and she'll actually look up at her "friend" and sign "wait", telling her friend to wait for her there!!! It's so cute. Anyway, the two video's are with my friend Art, who apparently was introduced to Ecrissa's friend. He even got to share his food with her! My digital camera takes video without sound, so there isn't any sound with this, but really, the only sound missing is Ecrissa's giggling all the way through!!!!!! This is the second bit, where you can actually see Ecrissa giggle!!!!! My little girl sure does keep me on my toes and laughing!!!! Gotta love her to pieces!!!!!

We are home.

Wow!!!!! What a day!!!!! We (and I mean all three of us!!!! Wow, my kids are in the states!!!! What an amazing thing!) have arrived in MI and made it safely to my dad's house. It was a long day, but the kids did really well. They loved the airplane and Jaryse loved looking at "the city" as we flew over Miami last night. I held it all together until we landed in Miami and I heard the pilot or whoever say "welcome to Miami" at that point I cried. I couldn't believe I had actually made it to the USA with my two little munchkins. I had a smooth time through immigration both in Port au Prince and in Miami, and both flights went smoothly. I am so thankful to the Lord for protecting us through this whole ordeal and making these last few steps easier than the first few! I am still in a bit of shock, although, it might just be that I am FREEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZING. Maybe after I get used to the cold my brain and body will work a little more efficiently! I am so t

So, today at about 2:37, I was driving and I prayed to the Lord, Father, I know this isn't too big for you! I really really would like passports today. I know the office is almost closed, but Father, please, let them release my passports, if the guy has already checked, please lay it on his heart to check again and let the office release them! I prayed this prayer, until I parked my car, about 2:40, walked into a store, walked out and noticed a missed call at 2:45, I called it back, it was the guy who was checking on passports---WE GOT THEM!!!!!! WE HAVE OUR PASSPORTS!!!!!!!!! Did you hear a really loud OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was me this afternoon! I am so very very excited! I can hardly think straight! Thank you for all your prayers!!!! I know they work! I see it in my life everyday, and I am convinced! Prayer is powerful!!!!!! Praise the Lord for He is GOOD!!!!
