Our trip to the states!!

            We were able to enjoy a trip to the states April 1st - 21st!

We started out in South Carolina for a long weekend.

Ryan surprised me with a wonderful romantic supper!! :) 

He blind folded me and drove me there.

He grilled chicken

The wonderful meal consisted of: grilled chicken, potatoes salad,
zipper peas, 7 layer salad, and wonderful desert that had cake pieces,
pudding, Reese cups, & whipped topping!! It was all
very good! Most of the food was compliments to his mom!!

the beautiful flowers he got me!! :)

Prayer request:

We need rain. The spring is about dried up! The water stopped coming to our house about a week ago, so we are hauling water from the clinic cistern for us. So if yall could join us in praying for rain, we would appreciate it!

yall have a blessed weekend!

The group from Georgia

Feb 14 - Feb 23 we had a group of  15 here from Montezuma GA.

The guys tour some walls down at Milord's school that were ruined in the big earthquake!

The new wall

The girls painted 8 rooms at the Gros Mapou school. They had to sand the walls before they painted the walls. They used almost 8 5gal buckets of paint.

In the mean time, Ryan got the nursery up and running!!

The guys also tore the end gable out of the house. It was all stone and cement!

They replaced the rock with wood & tin!

Doing laundry! Something that got done everyday so there wasent a huge load on the days it got done! There was still plenty of laundry every day!!

This is were all 5 guys slept!!

We had a wonderful time & they got a lot of work done! :) 

Yall have a blessed week!!
