Haiti 2/15-3/7

Thursday morning we had bible study at our house again.  We are going through the book Bait of Satan and it is so good!  Every Christian should read it! Evan helped Rod with some plumbing stuff on the roof.  Susette brought over Kenny and Micah played with him.  Bible study went until about 1 and then we headed over the boys home for the afternoon.  Thursday nights Rod and Brittany have prayer and worship here and we were excited for that.  Except that when we got home Micah had a complete meltdown and really needed me.  The Lord keeps reminding me I am a mom first before anything else here and that I need to be continually dying to myself which is hard because there is so much I want to do here.  On that note, I changed my flight to come home Wednesday with the boys instead of the following Wednesday.  So I wont be staying the last week by myself.  I am bummed but have total peace in it.  I didn't anticipate how hard it would be for Micah and then for him to adjust to being back and staying at Evans all week just didn't seem right.
Friday we walked around the outside of the tent city and tried to talk with people. I wish I knew more creol. I was able to communicate some with people. They are do drawn to Micah's hair! Then I packed a snack for us and we went up on the guesthouse roof to look out over the city and eat. While we were at the guest house I met these 2 guys from San Diego who are also here visiting a friend. They said they were going to head into a local tent city to pray for people later that day so I made plans to meet up with them but our translator fell through. So, hopefully we'll get to do that before we go. It's kinda sketchy in there so we have to make sure we at least have a Haitian with us. I showed Evan the transition house yesterday. Some of the kids after graduating out of the orphanage work at the transition house. They learn skills like carpentry, t-shirt making, sewing, baking. It's pretty cool. We then headed over to the feeding program. After that we decided to make it an early night and headed back home. Some awesome local ladies had been at our house all day cooking to make us an authentic Haitian meal. I accidently ate a huge habanero pepper that was just in the sauce to give it some spice. I was dying!!
I've been doing a lot of haircuts which is fun! Brittany said I could move here and easily have a business of just cutting missionaries hair....tempting! :)
The little girls from the orphanage came over to play this morning and now some of the younger boys are here recording some music stuff with Evan. Tonight I asked Rod and Britt if we could take them out to dinner somewhere so I think we're going to do that.
Today Brittany said we are the best house guests ever. It was such a Complete blessing to hear those words. My hope was to come and just serve her and the ministry and support what God is doing thrPugh them. So to see and hear some fruit is always such a blessing.
Please just continue to pray that the Lord would give me insight and that I would completely abide in him these last 4 days. I don't want to miss anything He has for me here. Also, pray the Lord brings Micah JOY and peace. He just is a little teary and agitated. I think he's ready to be home but still loving it so much that he doesn't want to take time to sleep :)&
