Hello dear friends!!!
We still dont have a working inverter or generator for electricity, however GOD IS SO GOOD...because EDH has been coming on early at night and the past two days we have had a couple hours of it during the day. so its been very nice and not too horrible having no way of controlling when we get electricity.
Healing Hands had a neurologist come to check out hydrocepholis children on saturday so we took poutchino and waited a long time, but were seen!! the neurologist seems to think that his shunt isnt infected and that it is some other problem...perhaps malaria. i can see that with the fevers in the afternoon almost everyday, but we really still arent sure. next time he has a high fever we are going to test him for malaria. We are still a bit nervous that there could be something wrong with the shunt, but at the same time very relieved to have talked with a knowlegdeable doctor who thinks that it is something else. pray that we can figure out what that something else is and that it heals fast before it does effect the shunt. other than that he seems to being doing great. we are trying to give him more snacks throughout the day to boost his calorie intake.
Finally the fun news...i am picking my sister up from the airport tomorrow. it will be so great to have a familiar face from home here with me. we will be in PAP so she can meet a few people, help out with a dental clinic we are hosting at the house tuesday and then Wednesday dorothy is going to take me and her out to bercy. we will be there until saturday and then she stays in port until wednesday the 25th! i am so excited for her to be here and meet all the kiddos and see live here. i am also so excited to get to go out to bercy for a few days and see the kids and people that i have so invested in over the years. I adore that village, what they are doing there and all the people there! it will be so refreshing to see them again and get a short break from city life. i love the country on this island...the simplicity, the beauty, and the list goes on! oh and haitian church oh how i LOVE it!! MESI JEZI!!!
OKAY its gonna be a bit busy for awhile so i dont know when the next post will be, but i am so thankful for you all, wherever you may be!
blessings,T

mesi jezi...ah, i'm so excited to come back. a bit sad about the change in venue but equally excited about how God will stir my heart for a new place of Haiti. Jasmine is still praying about it. I told her she's got about another week and a half before I buy my ticket. I am thinking: August 27th arrive and depart on September 5, because I can't have a direct flight out but I can get one in. Madness! Let me know if those dates don't work for you! Love ya, miss ya, can't wait to come!
