Dec. 5th

We enjoyed a FAST couple hour visit from some of the team from LaGonave yesterday. They arrived just as Chris and I were walking up after finishing clinic.

Our Christmas decorations are now spread around the living room and we received our first Christmas card this week. The decorations will stay up until the end of

January when my folks come for a visit.

It may be in the 80's and sunny out but the Christmas carols still fill the air with cheerful notes that bring up lots of good family memories.

Thankful that our daily prayer partners for the clinic in December now number over 60! And many have told us that they are sharing the request with others. Thank you.

A new prayer request is for our baby Moringa trees-the ones that the kids are planting in cups. Some kind of illness or disease has attacked many of the trees. We continue to give out the healthy looking ones but Eli has over 100 in the 'sick area'.

Chris and Kathleen have completed their first English classes. Shortly they will start filling up their second set of classes.
