What a crazy day this has been! I am aware that this phrase comes out of my mouth more days than not, but I am learning that crazy usual equals God working. All of the heart patients for ICHF arrive today for a short stay at the guesthouse and will then go to Santiago next week for surgery. What an honor it has been to welcome them in and get to know them. I have spent the morning hanging out with Kinsi and Guyito getting to know them, and it has been fun to play and learn from them this morning.

Willow has had a great week! She
is growing like crazy and has been standing up and holding on to things to walk
around her pack and play for about two weeks now.
I can’t believe she is growing so fast!
We are so blessed and at home in Haiti. Thank you for your prayers and
for you support. We are at 35% of our monthly support goal. If you know of
anyone who might be thinking about partnering or might be interested in what we
are doing here, we would be very grateful.
We are certain God provides, so we are being obedient to let our needs
be known.
Here is Willow lifting up in her pack and play. She is roaming and it is crazy to see!
Update from the week...
In the last few days, we have had quite a few unexpected happenings. The day the heart patients arrived, one of our translators was explaining surgery to parents of one of the heart patients, Kinsey. It arose in conversation that the mom and dad were practicing Jehovah's Witnesses. This knowledge set a chain of events into place that ended with them deciding that they could not knowingly allow Kinsey to go through with the heart surgery since she would have to receive a transfusion. What a brick wall! None of us saw this coming, and it has weighed heavily on our hearts since. I have so much to say about this subject, but I will leave it to the next post. Please be in prayer for this family as we daily pray that the veil would be lifted from their eyes and that the truth of scripture would be revealed. We are certain God has a plan and that He already knew what was happening, so we wait to see God's plan come to fruition and in the meantime, we do not lose heart. Amen? Amen. :-)
