Kid's voices fill the air as they play soccer in the front lawn. Thankful Eli and Anna can play with friends in the afternoons. This morning both spent time finishing up some homework and helping to clean the house.
I worked on the computer, finishing up a children's lesson on Haiti/devotional, cleaning up my in-box, writing some E-mails as well as working on a 'about us' post as suggested by a fellow blogger. Hard to boil down one's family into a page but trying to capture the essence of our family and ministry.
Down loaded a few Kindle books..after not having access to a library for years it is nice to be able to read new books with just the push of a few buttons. I am learning to watch what I get as it is easy to waste my time on books that do not benefit my mind or life at all. Goes back again to being intentional with the time that the Lord gives me on this earth.
Cory visited some gardens across the river yesterday and the community garden. He reports that down by the river many people were busy planting peanuts. Most of the donated banana plants continue to grow well and some are starting to produce large bunches of bananas. Genner's plants produced several big bunches [about 50+] pounds each] already and off shoots-which he gives away to others.
Some of the bamboo plants now top 20 foot tall while others remain small. Next week he plans to distribute more bamboo plants as they are taking over the nursery area with their rapid growth.
We spent some time as a family yesterday afternoon planting our Moringa trees near the house. Now 4 rows of 51 rescued baby Moringa trees can grow and hopefully thrive in their new home. The goal-easy access and enough Moringa trees to provide leaves to eat a few times a week even during team season.

Our growing season is just starting in Northern Haiti with the end of dry season and early start to rainy season.
Thankful for family this week and rapid communications.
Prayer Request: Last few business days in Port-au-Prince violent protests calling for the UN to leave. Pray for safety and wisdom for leaders.

I enjoyed reading about your life, your family, and your plants in Haiti. The world is a big place, so many different lives God sees.
Wow, I like the new look!
Moringa tree is a medicinal treeand it is the most nutrient rich tree. The leaves are full of vitamins and are best for eye. Moringa powder has many vitamins and moringa oil is used in many products.
Moringa
Thank you Olive Tree and Peter.
drewwilliam-if you search "Moringa" you can learn more about our work with Moringa. On LaGonave, Cory's gardener continues to produce Moringa Leaf Powder for the hospital and people. To wet here so we promote eating the fresh leaves.
