21 days

It was so good to fellowship with you all last night!  We only have one more team meeting and then our packing meeting and THEN we will be in Ayiti!  Only 21 days until we leave.  Hopefully we will see most of you at the art fair tomorrow!

 

"28 Do you not know?
       Have you not heard?
       The LORD is the everlasting God,
       the Creator of the ends of the earth.
       He will not grow tired or weary,
       and his understanding no one can fathom.

 29 He gives strength to the weary
       and increases the power of the weak.

 30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
       and young men stumble and fall;

 

 31 but those who hope in the LORD
       will renew their strength.
       They will soar on wings like eagles;
       they will run and not grow weary,
       they will walk and not be faint."

 

 "28Se konnen nou pa konnen? Kouman? Se di yo pa janm di nou sa? Seyè a se Bondye ki la pou tout tan an! Se li menm ki kreye tout latè. Li pa janm bouke, li pa konn pèdi souf. Pesonn pa ka konprann lide li gen nan tèt li. 
    29Lè yon moun pèdi souf, li ba li fòs. Lè yon moun febli, li ba l' kouraj ankò! 
    30Jenn gason konn pèdi souf, yo konn bouke. Lè konsa, yo bite, yo tonbe. 
    31Men, Seyè a ap bay moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li fòs ankò. Tankou malfini, y'ap pran zèl pou yo leve ale. Y'ap kouri san yo p'ap janm bouke. Y'ap mache, yo p'ap janm febli."

 

-Isaiah 40:28-31

 

Robenson, nicknamed "Son Son," is Elisee's brother.  He is one of our "non-resident" children and lives with his mother.  He, however, can be seen at the home visiting his "brothers" or playing soccer.  Son Son is a warm, likable young man with a great sense of humor. He is a hard worker when we have projects around the home and enjoys learning new things.  He would like to be an auto mechanic. Robenson is a Non-Resident of MDL.

 

Cherly is Mikerline's sister. She also was sent to away at a very young age. Living with an aunt, she received money from her mother to attend school where she did well. One condition of her staying at the aunt's house was that she was to be the servant or "restevec." Her aunt has a large house and Cherley was responsible for keeping it clean. At 8 years of age this was a tremendous responsibility and pressure. She came to Christ at a crusade and her new relationship with the Lord helped her endure. Today, she loves her new life, learning about Jesus and attending school.
