13 Baby "Peeps"
We had an exciting day here to day. In case you haven't heard, Keilah got some baby chicks. Cute little buggers. Growing fast. they live charmed lives. One got stepped on. We thought it broke it's leg, we didn't think it had much of a chance but it came back a few days later and you can't even tell which one it was. Another one, or maybe the same one, got stuck in the screen door. This was a bit more serious. It seemed to have a broken neck, couldn't hold it's head up. It couldn't even stand at first. But, just like the other one, day by day it came back. First it lifted it's head, then it drank some water. It stood up and propped itself up against the side of the box....sort of leaned in to the corner.To keep from falling. Some of us have been there, right? But it couldn't lift it's head still. But, by some miracle, it is now standing, and running, and eating and almost completely healed. Keilah had it out airing just today. Visiting with the other chicks. but they were a little rough still, so she is still in her private suite. Anyway, all is well with these newcomers, we're having a great time!

Operation Belize Mercy
Hey Guys,
Well, it has been a very busy two weeks for me as I have been working together with our Pastor Scott from our church to assist with relief work after Hurricane Dean. We have been trying to do all we can to help in a time of great need. The first week we just took trees off houses and roads and tried to help the people who had minor work to be done on the houses. Most days we have been working from sun up until dark. It has been very hard for me to see the kids and families who are left without a home - just living under a plastic tarp. We have been gatting a lot of rain which makes it that much more difficult for families to stay dry. Most family have done all they can to fix what they had. It's hard to do anything when you are a single mother with five kids. A lot of the house we have reached out to have been in that condition - single mothers and no father to be found.
This week we were able to take about four families out of the rain as we put new roofs on their houses. The families were so happy and blessed that we would do that for them. We took the opportuninty to let them know that Jesus cares about them and loves them and that is the reason we are here. If we did not put on those roofs I really do not know how long it would have taken for them to get help.
Please be praying for us as a Nation, that the Church would see the need to respond in this time. This will be my third week up in Corozol. It's hard to sleep at night knowing there are families who might be sleeping in the rain and mud. I took my family up last week so my kids could see and help in the clean up. It was a blessing for them to see what daddy was doing and why we do what we do, because people are the most valuable thing on the face of the earth.
Also please be praying for us, you might see that hurricane Felix is heading directly toward us. If this would happen I am unable to see the damage that would take place to our poor villages along the cost line. Also, if any one would want to help financially with building materials or would like to provide the money for a small house or roof please let us know. Please also keep our family in your prayers at this time. For wisdom and direction in this season and to know how and when to respond. We know we can not do everything but we know God's heart breaks for the widows, orphans and the poor. We want to be a light of hope in this hour to those who are in need.
