hi

i don't have a clever title for this e-mail.

let me know if you have any questions about packing... we are paying 19 bucks a pop for bags and are trying to bring as many donations down as possible... hopefully the e-mail i sent clears it up.  you need to have any supplies you are bringing for your project to the packing meeting on tuesday.  and anything you need to pack in the suitcase outside of your carry-ons, especially liquids that you won't be able pack (above 3 ounces).

we had a great meeting tonight dave, lauren, becca and I shared our testimonies.  we over some basic stuff but we are planning on revisiting this stuff when we come together on Tuesday and some more at the airport...

items to consider bringing:
http://www.rei.com/product/734901 - you can spray your clothes with this stuff before you leave and it repels insects...

please, do not buy clothing like this: http://www.rei.com/category/4500559  haha

this is similar to the shirt I have, it is expensive, but I think it's worth it since alicia and I try to go to Haiti as often as we can: http://www.rei.com/product/731444

here is a picture of some of the stuff we recommend you bring that we discussed at the meeting (not pictured: sunscreen): http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3507/3469519245_2bc6851c08_b.jpg

14For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15from whom his whole family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Robenson
ROBENSON, also known as Son-Son, is one of the non-residents of Maison de Lumiere. He used to live at the orphanage but now lives with and cares for his ailing mother. His younger brother, Elysee, lives at the orphanage and his older brother, Marval, is one of the staff members. He still participates in many of the orphanage events and activities and receives support for his educational and living expenses. Son-Son loves sports, especially soccer, and is an excellent student. He hopes to one day become an automotive mechanic. Please pray for Son-Son, that he would draw close to the Lord and seek God's will for his life.

Schneider
SCHNEIDER is a kind, gentle and quiet boy. He loves learning English and enjoys practicing with missions teams and visitors. Generally shy, he does not like to initiate conversations, but loves to talk once someone takes an interest. He is a diligent student and enjoys soccer, school and studying. Schneider suffers from Hepatitis B, which makes him fatigued sometimes. Please pray for the Lord to heal his body, and to strengthen his immune system. Pray that he will continue to grow in the love and grace of Jesus.
