We now do not have to be dependent on Generator or Electricity. We can even use it just when the invertor is on. Its great! I should be able to update more often now.
I do apologize for not keeping things updated. Of course I have been VERY busy here. I am loving life here and very thankful for what God is doing.
Two weekends ago I got to go to an art fair. It was a lot of fun and very interesting. There was art from all over Haiti. It was a great experience.
There were so many things to see and experience. It was great. I will put a couple more pictures of our experience there.
I had the great experience of learning how to barter well. We used various techniques such as telling them we would come back tomorrow...even though the fair would be closed by then. We would simply walk away or say, "nevermind". ALWAYS they would stop us and have us come back and they would ALWAYS give us the price we asked for. It was great! :) I did all my Christmas shopping in one day! Nope, family, you will not see your Christmas presents in any of these pictures :) I am not that gullible :)
I had a really good time.
This past week I had another good exerience. A team from Monadnock Bible Conference came down and they invited me to go with them one day down into Cite Soleil to do a clinic. One great thing was that I got to see some really great friends from my church. It was a wonderful time. I also got to use my nursing skills and my Creole. The following are pictures from Cite Soleil.
Cite Soleil is one of the worst, poorest areas in Haiti. Things are peaceful there right now, but a year ago Americans couldn't even go there. The UN has done a lot of work there now and things are better. In many of my pictures you will see that many of the children actually look very healthy and I believe it is due to the many wonderful works that missionaries are trying to do in this area.I am also going to post a picture of a lady that we saw who was 100 years old! I love those precious old ladies. Especially here, because you know h
ow much of a miracle it is!
ow much of a miracle it is!
I actually need to go now, but I will post more pictures about Cite Soleil a little later tonight.
God bless you and keep you

WoW! I like the art in the art fair pics.
I'm glad you have reliable internet and are doing well. We're doing great here, treasuring our time together at this crazy "job."
The little girl at the end of this posting is adorable!
See you at Christmas!

Hello, dearest Maggie!
You look radiant, my friend. Christ is shining through you in these pictures and I am so excited that you are now physically where your heart has always been.
Shawn and I are doing well. We are on the road to finishing school! It is in the near future...January 2010.
We will continue to uphold you in prayer. Our Lord is so magnificant! His beauty is reflected in your face and in the faces of the people with whom you are living and who you are serving. Let us keep working for Him...and let us never weary of doing good through the Spirit and for His namesake.
Blessings!
your friend, Laura (Voisine) hehe.
