We've all been fighting colds this week and are, little-by-little finally mostly winning!! Matt and I are getting to know our first year students better, the girls are feeling more settled into the new school year and with Nikki changing up homeschool some, and all the girls are deeply enjoying having the Edler boys next door again...constant playmates. Even Ben's never left without a truck :)
The new classroom building project continues, this month with the HUGE and tedious job of crepe. I don't know what the North American equivalent of this is, but in Haiti it's covering block (or in this case, the foam/metal walls) with sprays of cement over and over and over in layers. It's all done by hand, this flicking of the concrete creating thick layers, and then a smooth finish. A LOT of little-by-little work by a lot of guys.
I also spent an hour this morning with Jean-William and Rujerry, our students-turned-staff-turned-missionaries. So many of you have been praying for them and supporting them and we are so thankful. After working for over a year to get them the necessary travel visas to get to Italy to NO avail (the Haitian passport is globally very weak and they've been rejected the travel visa 3 times), we have all watched the Lord, little-by-little, opening a different, similar door for Togo, West Africa, and their visas have been APPROVED. There are some really exciting twists to share...I'm working on the story now...stay tuned for next week!
This weekend includes a school-friend sleepover tonight, Matt's birthday Saturday, a first birthday party for our little man-buddy Kendrix, and Matt preaching at Emmaus's church plant in DiFour Sunday...can't wait to have some good time with Phida and Nosebin and to see how things are going there!
How important are your prayers...Thank you.
