Hecktick Life

I just can't update this blog every day... I thought I could but found out that I can't. Right now I'm pretty much broke, and my purse with all the information I need is off in a truck that's getting fixed and so I can't get to it right now. I really need a lot of prayer. I'm trusting God to provide. God is so amazing... with all the stuff that's going on in my life right now I can still see God standing right there next to me. On Tuesday my base decided to play softball and it was so fun. It started raining in the middle but we kept playing anyway (except for some people who sat in the cars while it rained). By the time we were done we were all wet and muddy. And the other day I saw a beautiful rainbow while dancing out in the rain. Spring is definitely my favorite season. My new computer is great... but I can't hook it up to the internet here... one of the guys here is going to look at it soon to see if he can fix it. I'm going to try to put some pictures up, but the pictures are on another web site so I don't know if it will work. But I'll try it. If it doesn't work and you don't see any pictures then maybe someone knows how to do something like that and could tell me.

Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with my blog. Right now I'm kind of tired from working a lot. I've been planting grass seeds and doing yard work. My birthday on the 21st was really great and I loved it. Mommy and Daddy sent me a laptop and I absolutely love it and I use it all the time now. In a couple weeks starting on June 18th I'll be going to Baltimore and then to Singapore and the Philippines in July. The total cost of the trip will be about $2000 so it would be nice if you could support me... and I would also love your prayer support too. I'm sending out newsletters hopefully tomorrow. If you want one and don't get one you can e-mail me or write a message so that I can send you one. Well, that's it for today... I don't have my camera here with me and so maybe tomorrow I'll put up pictures...the ones I have don't have me in them because I was the one holding the camera. I'm going to go rest now, tomorrow I'll try to update again.

oops... the bottom pictures are weird... the one that says "(left)" should be "(up)" and the one that says "(right)" should be "(left)". They are pretty obvious though.

Pictures from Haiti

Today is the first day back in Pennsylvainia.... I slept really great last night (no mosquitos). And I got new batteries for my camera and I took some pictures. But you don't want to see those... you want to see ones from Haiti... We went to a city called Jacmel and there we met a YWAM team (DTS) from Panama. Victor was one of them, he's from Canada. Many people came to Christ and it was a great trip. I love Haiti and the people there. I'm praying for a passion for Jesus spread throughout Jacmel and that it will become a strong Christian city. Pray for the people in Haiti and for the churches there... that they will know what it means to be a Christian. The bus ride took 4 hours on bumpy roads.. and the scenery was beautiful.

Coming Back

Well, today was the last day of this trip in Haiti and it's already over. At 4:00 a.m. tomorrow we get in the bus and drive four hours and then get on a plane back to Pittsburgh. It's been an amazing trip. There was another YWAM team here from Panama (but none were really from Panama) There were two couples... one from London and the other from Alaska (the Alaskans brought their two children). There was a guy, Victor, from Canada and a girl, Natalie, from Oregon. Another guy from some random state and three guys from Haiti and the leader from Norway. We did a couple of outreaches with them, making a long show for people and then talking to them with the wordless book after. We had an amazing time and so many poeple got saved. Haiti is super beautiful an dthe people are very friendly. We stayed at the YWAM base here in Haiti and there are only five staff, but they are wonderful people and are definately a huge blessing. I miss the Panama team (we practicly lived together for a couple weeks). I'm amazed at how God works and the amazing things that He can do when you're in His will. I'll try to do some more updating on the trip in Haiti when we all get back to Pittsburgh, take showers, do laundry and sleep.

Haiti

I'm in Haiti!! Yesterday was our first day... because the other day was mostly traveling. We went to a small town out in the middle of nowhere and played soccer with the kids and invited people to see our drama "Doors" and our dances. Then in the night we went close by and we did our drama and dances there and then I shared the worldless book with alot of people and most of them came to Christ. We want to do follow up and talk to them some more soon. Today we went to the middle of a street and then we went to the same place we were last night, but the people were different so we did the wordless book again. It is really great being here and getting to know the people and talking to them and seeing God change their lives. I have to go but I'll try to update soon, don't know when I'll have the chance to get on the internet againthough.
