So as all of you know or have figured out by now....I am horrible at blogging. I'm not someone who processes by writing....I actually really hate writing, give me some math problems instead please ;) I have felt convicted for awhile that I really need to keep people updated on what's going on and I keep promising that I will do better this year. Well, it's June and I have not yet written a single blog, but I decided I better start somewhere....so I decided that I would at least share some pictures with you and tell you a little about what has been happening over the past month.
 |
| When I arrived back in Gressier in May there had been street signs installed on the mountain! We are looking pretty official now :) |
 |
| Kitson finished up the 3 month beginner woodworking course and he learned so many new skills.....all kinds of reasoning and critical thinking skills as well as some beginning computer skills, math and english...and of course woodworking too. He didn't pass the theory part of the course because his French skills are very weak, but he will be getting some extra tutoring this summer and re-taking the course hopefully this fall. |
 |
| A few weeks ago we started a youth group! So far the group is small, but the kids love it and it is so fun to watch them learn more about their freedom in Christ! |
 |
| Kindergarten Graduation! You can't really tell from this pic, but those kids are just the cutest little things ever.....they were all dolled up for the occasion and it was really fun to see them celebrate their accomplishments this year. |
 |
| This view never gets old! We have had the rainiest rainy season I have experienced since moving to Haiti 3 years ago...and one afternoon we were blessed with this beautiful rainbow. |
 |
| I moved to a different house and it was an eventful first few days! Our inverter exploded the 1st night, we had water problems the 2nd day, then the 3rd day there was a giant tarantula in my bathroom...eeeeekkkkkk. This was day 4...quiet time and some coffee...things have been pretty smooth sailing after the first few days. I'm thankful for that! |
 |
| And yes, this is a picture of an apple on my desk....may seem a bit weird, but it was a huge blessing for me. One of the teenage girls that is in our afternoon alternative class that I am close to had a little job one Saturday doing laundry and made around $5....what did she do with that $5? She bought some things she needed, but also bought me an apple as a gift. So sweet and so selfless. I am so blessed by these little kind gestures. |

| June 9, 2014 - Richcarde's heart surgery in the Dominican Republic. |
 |
| June 9, 2016 - Richcarde is preparing to go to the Cayman Islands on June 25th for a 2nd surgery to get a mechanical valve. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. This will be a difficult surgery, but God has a plan. |
 |
| Amber & I went to church with some of our students on International Children's Day. They let the children do the whole service and it was so great! And by the way, the beautiful blue and white decorations are toilet paper :) |
 |
| Amber and I tried to take the boys to the pool to go swimming....just to have a little carefree fun before Richcarde leaves for surgery. The pool was closed, but we went to a little restaurant that has air conditioning instead....got the boys spaghetti and ice cream and had lots of laughs! It is so much fun watching them have fun! |
 |
| Last day of school! Rice sack races in the 3rd grade classroom! So much JOY! |
 |
| And last but not least a little throwback to a year and half ago when my parents came to visit me in Haiti and a shout out to the most amazing daddy a girl could ever ask for! Happy Father's Day Dad! I love you so much! |
