baking bread with Doris in the small solar oven...

this is part of the beautiful view from Don & Doris's porch!

so, i decided that i'm going to start taking and posting a few pictures of the beautiful landscape here for all of you to see. i really haven't been taking very many pictures this time. i feel like i pretty much took pictures of everything i wanted when i was here last november (over 900 pictures in 1 week!!). but it's just so beautiful that i wanted you all to see where i am and get to enjoy it a little too! so here is one... Dessalines is located in the mountains and the orphanage is surrounded by them! it's amazing, sometimes i am looking at the mountains on my walk over from the guesthouse and still can't believe i'm here! i wonder if i'll every fully comprehend it before i leave!

anyway, we had a surprise visit this morning from E.G.O.'s veterinarian. he's an american vet who's been here for many years. he brought with him 2 men from the u.s. dept. of agriculture, one man from haiti's ministry of agriculture and another haitian vet. they talked mostly of the anthrax issues in haiti. all of E.G.O.'s animals are vaccinated against anthrax. it's fun to have visitors here!

this afternoon Doris invited the little girl with the facial tumor and her mother to come up for a visit. she talked with her about Jesus and then prayed with them. the little girl is 2 & 1/2 and is so precious and her mother has such a sweet smile. we are praying and BELIEVING for a miracle on her behalf!!! Thank you, Lord!

so, i'm not sure if i'll be able to get on the internet tomorrow, so:

MOM - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! i wish i could be there to say it in person, but know that I LOVE YOU & miss you!!!

DEE & TIM - HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY!! love you guys! i can't believe it's been a year already! "i have a brother?!" :) woo-hoo!!
