Dec. 22 Kid's Club Party Day.

Looks like the sun will come shinning over the mountains any time and stay around for the party.

Cory's busy popping pop corn for the party. Thankfully other folks will divide it up into small bags. Not sure there will be enough for 1,000 small bags but hope each child gets one. Hard to estimate how many children will come.

Cory and Anna show the 1/2 way mark! Will be a bit healthier than Haitian popcorn...less salt.

They told the children to bring a lunch as the plan for the program is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Do not know what all is planned but Anna will report later today. Eli and I will spend some one-on-one time working on school. Cory will likely go for parts of the party and I plan on sending the camera with him.

The last couple days school ended an hour early or so because of special church services starting about 5:45 p.m. The theme verse for the week is Malachi 3:8 "Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions." Interesting how many sermons we've heard on tithing in Haiti vs. the USA.

Tuesday the focus was on what can we give God in light of all He's done for us. Last night the focus was on Mary and Joseph and living our lives as they did so we can be used by the Lord.

Kodiak enjoying a sunbeam nap yesterday. As our winter afternoons more often than not include rain more than sun he's taking advantage of the opportunity. Or he did until Cory put a ladder up to the roof over the bedroom to cut off a mango tree branch touching the roof.

Praying for those in the military or Lord's service serving around the world away from family, especially the missionary college kids unable to return home. Safe travels for those who can join family.
