Happy Valentine's Day!

Lily got twin love monkeys from Aunt Lisa, which were quickly named "Mippy" and "Jelly", and now she is stoked that today is "Happy Birthday, Valentines".  If there are presents, it is Birthday.  Now she wants a cake and candles.  Thanks to Jenn, Lydia and Erika, hopefully a Valentine's cake will be in the works for tonight!

We had torrential downpours of rain all night and morning, so she was the ONLY thrilled person in Haiti this morning... stomping through the rivers of rain in the yard.  Everyone else is rather grouchy, wet and muddy :)

February's EBS "Missions Trip of the Month" was a great success, and everyone is safely home.  I have an awesome report to give you and the guys took along my camera, making the report all the better.  I'll share it all with you tomorrow, but for now...

This is just one of seven rivers the guys had to ford during their 2 hour hike (following a 4 hour motorcycle ride) to the zone where they would be working...  WITH all their things, 12 Bibles, a projector, a screen, speakers, fuel for a small generator and food.

 This is the house where all seven guys, along with the family already living there, stayed for the weekend.
Several new Christians and five new converts received precious cargo from these VERY rare visitors: Bibles.

We also had a good ministry weekend with Matt preaching at a Gesner's church (2nd year student) on Sunday in Grisongaurd.  This church proved to be QUITE far away and was an early morning for all of us (the service STARTED at 6:30 am).  We left the house at 6:30 and it took over 90 minutes on terrible roads to arrive.  

However, we had a great time and were blessed to see where Gesner works, were able to share the day with Maxi, Kerline and several of the students, and were blessed to worship with yet another group of people excited about Christ in their lives.
