Thursday


If God sends us on strong paths,
we are provided strong shoes."

~Corrie Ten Boom~

Today is the last full day for the Texas group. They are spending it at Real Hope for Haiti. Paige and I are spending our afternoon at Pre-natal program.

This morning I took Lydie for blood-work at a Doctor in our neighborhood. (She is running a fever and we're ruling out Malaria.) As I walked home with her a sweet old Haitian man said, "Be careful white - the sun is very hot." I think he was looking at Lydia's snow-white, almost translucent skin. He was sincerely concerned. :)

The photo above is a "Where's Waldo?" puzzle. Did you find him/her/us?

*Edit to add - Lydie's Malaria test came back positive. Prayers for the Malarone to work fast are appreciated. Poor baby is so feverish. (Thanks Jen for the dosing on Malarone ... oh, and FOR the Malarone too.)

Target bag in trash dumpster ... all the way from America. No Target here. Haiti does not need America's plastic!

I've had malaria three times. No fun! The chills are almost unbearable. I'll be praying.

Loves, Hugs and Prayers for Lydia as she goes thru Malaria...Loves and hugs for you guys as you endure watching her go thru it!

I also still love the fact that whenever in Haiti it is Politically Correct to refer to us as 'Blanc' or 'whitey'. :-P
