Wednesday 'Wamblins

I know, I know, it has been more than a week since my last post.  But, you know what they say, no news is good news!  I have had every intention of writing but have simply slacked in this area.  So, here are some "wamblings" as to what is going on in our little world...

School is back in Session!  Monday marked the first day of school for Haiti.  BHM has more than 350 christian schools associated with the mission.  We have been working on developing a Bible Curriculum for these schools for quite some time.  We are pleased to announce the 1st grade curriculum is now complete!

Theo Enns, curriculum developer from New Tribes Ministires, traveled to BHM last week to train school coordinators in the use of the new curriculum.  Although this curriculum is complete, over 200 of the teachers books are currently stuck in customs.  Please join us as we pray to have these books released and placed in the schools as soon as possible.

The start of school also means food deliveries are in session.  BHM delivers food to several of our schools in the Child Sponsorship program.  Last week, 4 HUGE trucks delivered 30 tons of food to the Mission...

Trey and several other men worked for hours unloading all the rice and beans that were delivered.  Each bag of rice was a little over 110 pounds!  There is no need to do an exercise dvd for at least one month after that work out.

Wednesday of last week Roger & Judy Sands (new missionaries) received a container filled with items for their home.  Trey left the house at 5 a.m. Wednesday morning to travel to St. Mark to help unload the items from the container.  Due to a variety of "technical difficulties" they did not get home until after 8 p.m.

We are pleased to announce all the items made it to Haiti safe and sound.  One of the valuable items from the container was a push-mower!  We are thankful that Roger and Judy are willing to share, we no longer have to have our grass cut with a machete!

This weekend consisted of some time down at the ocean!  We welcomed a team from New Jersey to the mission on Saturday.  They arranged a picnic and day down at the camp property for Sunday.  We enjoyed swimming and relaxing with precious friends.

Now we are offically through three days of October!  Wowza! Hope you are enjoying the incoming of Fall.  Believe it or not, it's not too hot here right now, so we are celebrating a slight season change as well!  Happy 'Wamblin Wednesday to ya.
