Sugar Rush

 Today a team came to visit and left a whole heap of sugar.

Yippy!

The kids leave on holiday tomorrow so....

right now we have some VERY happy, and

VERY hyper kids:)

Out with the old, In with the new

 For a while we have been searching for a new car. The oddessy 

started to show signs of being well loved, and the board decided it

was time to upgrade.

 

After months of looking (done by Blake), 

and a trip (done by me) to Kingston to look with Blake,

we finally narrowed the search down to 2 options.

After some more research and asking of questions

one of the options was dropped and our new car

was selected. This past Thursday

we were finally able to get the new car. 

I am so thankful that process is finally done. 

I am not a big fan of all the 'fuss' that comes with getting a 

new car, but hopefully that won't last long.

Thanks Blake for all your work in this!

We still haven't been able to sell the oddessy.

Please be praying we can get that done quickly.

Thanks.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all those mothers out there

that I love. Wishing you a day of JOY.

Love You

Mr & Mrs Education Week

This being Education Week, the staff has planned something

'Fun' to do each afternoon.

Yesterday we had the Mr. & Mrs. Education week pageant.

There was dancing and modeling and showing off of their intelligence.

 The Education week contestants

 Mario and Shanel the runners up

Lashawna and Vernon the Queen and King of Education week.

They get to wear the sash and crown all week to school:)

Education Week

This is Education week in Jamaica. We started off the

week with a special church service here at Kp

The speaker was our own Mr. Karl Smith.

I learned that our dorm father was a pastor for 10 years

before coming to work with us here at KP.  He is 

working here while he continues his theological studies 

online. Its so great to see a dorm parent step up and 

invest in the spiritual side of our students.

 Hands in Praise performing.

Ms. Wright came for a short time and was willing

to share with the students too.

Happy Education Week!

Another Praise!

 Friday Afternoon Tevin and Kenisha (and their 3 older

siblings at another children's home) got to go back home

to live with them mom.

Please be praying for them during this time of 

transition, and for the mom that she can continue to 

provide the care they need.

And here is a little 'CHEESE'

just because I love Tafiquie's 'cheese face':)

Video Dump

A bunch of random videos from the past few weeks.

Lots of dancing and singing,

My favorite is the one of Kyle in his crib, singing

"Jesus loves me" to himself as he falls asleep:)

Praise Jesus for sun shiney afternoons to get out and play!

A Praise

Today my little Timothy left New Hope to go live with his dad.

It was hard to see him go, but I am so thankful he can grow up

with His family.

Please be praying for Timothy, his dad, and grandma

as they all transition into this new life together.
