Christmas is coming... so very soon!!

Well it's already the middle of October... time has flew by! I only have two and a half more months before I leave for Haiti and there is still so much to do. My first newsletter is complete, but we are still working on getting them all addressed so they can be sent out. Right now I am working on getting supplies a little in advanced so I don't have to worry about getting all of it last minute with Christmas being so close to that time. And with our group doing Christmas at the misson, there is more to go along with that! Having the privilege to be there as these beautiful children open their presents and seeing the light on each of their faces is such a huge blessing! Because of the hurricanes that have recently taken place, Keith and Cindy were worried that Christmas for their children was going to be very limited because of the great number of priority needs, such as food that had arisen. But Father has provided once again and this weekend I have the privilege to go to Derby Kansas and speak with a youth group who has volunteered to help in whatever way they can. I believe that God has saw our hearts and heard our prayers and has sent this youth group to bring happiness and joy into the mission on Christmas. While I, as well as all of the children and staff at the mission know what Christmas is truly about, it is always an added joy for each of them to have at least one present! I praise God for sending this youth group and please pray that all of their fundraising goes well. Also please be praying for family as the time of my departure is drawing near. This will be especially hard on all of us since I have never been away for more than a couple of weeks. However, God has brought us this far and we will rest in His care and I will trust in His call... this is My Heart, for Him!
