We made it! Got our first night of sleep last night since we left on Thursday and we feelin’ great this morning. God is good. Today we went prayer walking this morning throughout The Mole and we were also able to see some people that we had prayed with on our previous trip in January. It was wonderful to see that they remembered us! The Mole was busy this morning….construction still taking place on some side streets, people at the public market and fishing at the beach. This temperature is probably in the mid 80’s, blue sky, sunny! Last night the temperature actually cooled down to a very pleasant temperature for sleeping.
After our lunch of Haitian spaghetti, we had a couple of hours to work on our different lessons for the upcoming week….Revelation, Grace and the Parenting seminars on the list. This afternoon, we split into two teams and visited the homes of the new discipleship ladies we will be teaching this. We were able to prayer with them and it was an honor to visit with them. We’ll be teaching children’s church tomorrow in the morning, plus games, plus crafts. Tomorrow afternoon, the Castillo girls are having a universal birthday party and we are all looking forward to that.
By the way, on the MAF flight from the Mole, we had extra passengers with us…four boxes if chickens. I don’t know who was more excited to finally get to the Mole….us or the chickens! We are all healthy and rested and appreciate your prayers and support. Love you, Vernon.

Hello,
This is Colleen. I just wanted to let you know how things are going here in Haiti. It was a long trip to get here with an overnight in Ft. Lauderdale, but we arrived in the Mole safely. I was very tired at first. But it is so good to be back with friends again this year. What a blessing to see those friends that I haven’t seen since last year.
We have already spent time with the orphans today. They were glad to see us. They are growing so much and seem to be doing well. I was happy to see Kiki who I sponsor. He still has the same beautiful smile.
Today we spent time walking around the Mole and praying for the town. We took a good walk in the morning while praying. After lunch we split up into groups and went out to visit the ladies who are in the discipleship group. We stopped by each house and prayed for the ladies and their families.
We are getting ready to watch a movie with the kids now. I know I am tired, so hopefully I won’t fall asleep.
Hello to my wonderful husband, John. Hello to my sister, Chrissy. If any of my ladies from PWOC or my church look at this blog please continue to pray.
Love you,
Colleen
