Please pray for our grandson (Dylan Lancaster) who is soon to be 6 years old in March. He has just been taken to the emergency room and is being admitted to the hospital.  They just found out that he has diabetes but have been unable to get in to see a pediatric endocrinologist yet.  He was getting worse and the nurse at school checked his blood sugar this afternoon and his sugar was near 600 and suggested to Mitzi and John for them not to wait any longer for the specialist and take him to the ER.  Please pray that they will be able to stabilize his sugar and actually find out what is wrong.  Thank you.

Well I could not let WordPress win so it is back to the “drawing” WordPress board.  I have updated our page “About Us” so take a look at that page.  I am still trying to change some things / add some things so be checking us out for any changes.  
Continue to pray for me with the learning of this program that I might have patience and understanding of how it really works!
Today has been a wonderful day thus far.  The weather is mild, the wind is constant and quite enjoyable.  Mike is in St. Louis du Nord at the main campus waiting to come back to BeauChamp.  I am getting ready to get my things together to meet with my sewing ladies.  
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

I (Teresa) have been trying to update our blog site for now on about 4 hours.  I downloaded a new theme and tried to update to the most current version — well with that said — it ain’t been easy because it is still not on the blog site.  Went to help and have had several emails from WordPress.  I downloaded the most current FireFox “FireFTP” and still cannot get this uploaded.  So I am leaving this for now because I could bite a nail in two.  I think that my “Mac” iWeb is looking really good right now.  Please pray for me!!  I will see what happens after dinner.  I might just need to watch a movie and chill out!

Now it is a couple of days beyond our anniversary but I thought I would share with you our wonderful evening.  Mike and I have been married now for 35 years — kind of amazing since all of our friends thought that we wouldn’t make it past 6 weeks!  Two hard-headed, strong-willed teenagers — just wouldn’t last.  But, I knew that God had a plan for our lives from the very beginning.  We have definitely had our share of rough times but when you realize what the word commitment means then you look at things a little bit differently.  I thank God for a partner that loves Him and puts Him first.
Mike was so creative for our anniversary this year.  Haiti is not the most optimal place to celebrate — there is really nowhere to go especially out in BeauChamp.  So, he made a little tropical paradise up on the roof.  He put a string of lights and a lighted palm tree up (powered by solar) and made a little table covered by a beach towel, dolphins and manatee statues, and of course a surfer guy and girl along with …

We have been back in Haiti for 1-1/2 weeks now. I cannot believe how much can happen in that short amount of time. We were at the mission for 2-1/2 days and then headed to BeauChamp on Monday. We stopped in Port-de-Paix for some supplies and then on to home.

Wow, the road to BeauChamp is really, really bad. I think it is a good thing that we forget some things rather quickly because I had definitely forgotten how bad the road had gotten especially after the hurricane. But it was worth the travel to get to our home sweet home.
We arrived home and everyone was so glad to see each other. It was so good to see our Haitian family. They were so gracious in looking after the house and our animals while we were gone. Poor Bandit has surely lived up to his name. He was pretty much in solitary confinement while we were gone. He had started running with some dogs and Odenis was afraid he would get killed so he kept him in his cage while we were gone.

Boy, were they ever …
