"Another great day in Haiti! Justin did a great job preaching. He preached for exactly 20 minutes (a new record :-) and that included the interpreter's time as well!!! We were able to explore Port-au-Prince today via a "tap-tap" (we'll show pictures of that later!). Delight tried her first Kit-Kat candy bar today - She loved it (who wouldn't, right?). Love you all!"

Hey there all! It's been a bit busy around here. But I have found a moment to write up a bit of an update for everyone! Here are some of the posts that Jenny has been able to upload from Haiti. Unfortunately the internet connection is not the best and so uploading pictures is not able to happen during their stay there.

Thursday-

 "We made it to Haiti! Delight is absolutely beautiful!!! We arrived on
 Wednesday afternoon - it is now Thursday night - and we have yet to hear
 her cry! A very happy baby, indeed. She has the cutest smile and
 "scrunch face" we've ever seen. We are truly overwhelmed. Sorry about
 the lack of information (Haiti connection is "iffy" at best).  Will not
 be able to upload any photos - their connection cannot handle it. Sorry!
 :-("

 Still in shock and filled with joy (or should I say DELIGHT)!


Friday-

"Had another great day! Delight Miana is a very happy baby and loves to laugh. We're also having a great time with all the other children as well. They call us "Mama Blanc" and "Papa Blanc" (white mama / white papa)! We are "attacked" every time we show up. Beautiful children, beautiful smiles, and runny noses!!!"


"Forgot to mention one little thing - Justin is preaching in a Creole (French) speaking Baptist church on Sunday morning via an interpreter! He says, "PRAY!!!" :-)"


So I really had better go to bed but keep praying! He is good :)

So last night I went to bed and had read out of Isaiah. It ran through my head and I got this picture of what I had just read. I couldn't get it out of my head-I fell asleep eventually, dreamed some random dreams and before you knew it the time had come to wake up. Well, first thing on my mind is that verse and the picture that came along with it. I got ready for the day, grabbed some toast and headed out with my camera. I usually don't bring it with but I thought that maybe something would strike me as intriguing. The sky was gray, the air a bit crisp and not too much else going on. I made it to the building and stepped inside, but that image and verse wouldn't leave. It was screaming now in my head-like someone had a bullhorn and was holding it point blank to me. So, I turned right around and walked out the door. I didn't know what to do about it-I had a picture in my head and I didn't know where I would be able to capture that image outside of my swirling mind. But then as I walked back to my house I saw something that caught my eye. I began to laugh-it was exactly what He had showed me-the picture of this verse. I got down in my black skirt and laid down on the ground to grab this image. It is not just a picture, this is something that He gave specially and even allowed me to now share it with you. It may not be that be of a deal to you all, but that's ok-He did something special and that absolutely made my day! So may you enjoy the goodness of Jesus. He is full of it and lavishes it on those He loves. Be blessed.

Well, after being drenched in the goodness of a God who loves to lavish Love-I must say that I have been blessed. This past weekend a group of us were able to go and experience the world of homeschooling moms and dads at the Cincinnati Home School Convention. I really had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Lets just say that this is a new generation of soccer moms. It was incredible! The amount of people that were in that building all at once was just amazing in itself. I am still trying to process through all that took place over the weekend. So many lives and so many stories, so many hurts, so many joys. It was just awesome to be able to speak into the lives that literally surrounded us-not just to tell them about what we had to offer but that there was the love of Jesus that was beyond measure. Many conversations that He allowed us to have this weekend I believe will last for eternity. Life was spoken and His blessing was there on our lives. It was not like we were there to promote ourselves, no it wasn't like that at all. We were about something much bigger and I believe that everyone who was there would agree that it wasn't about us but totally and completely about showing the love of Jesus to people starving for His love. Love was not only given but received, so many lives touched mine and I can say that I have been blessed to overflowing. He is good and is worthy to be praised.
