I am so excited. One of my dearest friends, Ann Ackroyd, came to Haiti to do medical work. She will be traveling up to Gonaives tomorrow to do medical clinics in this devastated area. Please pray for her safety as she goes. I only wish I could go with her. We had a great time of visiting together on Saturday. I just realized that we did not get any pictures together, but I did get some that show that we were at the same place at the same time :) It was such a blessing to see her and to spend time talking with her. It was great. She even got to see my room and to visit the school. It was my first visit like that. I really enjoyed it and it lifted my spirits...and yes, they do need to be lifted occasionally. :)
Oh wait! I totally forgot that
I have pictures of Ann and I doing laundry. I taught her how to wash too. She did a couple pairs of underwear before her fingers started to hurt as well! :) I am making much progress. I can now wash ALL my underwear by myself. I am moving on to shirts this weekend. Its a lot of work, but I really enjoy the time with the teenage girls in the orphanage. It really becomes a fun JUST GIRLS time :)
Otherwise everything is going well. Thank you Cliff and Megan from the bottom of my heart for the beautiful package you sent me! It was a SUPER blessing!!!! It definitely was a great thing to get.
Another news flash is that I am going to be singing on a CD. Its kind of strange how it happens, but this guy I work with writes his own songs and asked me to sing with a bunch of other people. Its kind of hard because they do everything by ear here and not by reading music and I am pretty much only good at reading music, but as you know...GOD ALWAYS takes us out of where we feel comfortable.
Well it is REALLY REALLY late for me...only 10:30, but I normally got to bed at 9 or 9:30, but electricity just came on at 10 so we decided to come up here.
Goodnight everyone. God bless you and thank you for all the wonderful support that you give me all the time.
Love always, Maggie

Dear Mags,
It was great to read your update and know that you are still alive and well. You look great, by the way! When you come home I'll let you do all our laundry down by the creek if you want.
I hope that poor sick lady will recover from her stroke. Give us an update on her if you can.
Love,
MoM
