Happy New Year!
There has been a LONG absence and for that I am sorry.
I feel like this past fall just flew by. We were able to spend the
end of July - Aug in the states with family and friends.
September we arrived home, Neiah started school right away,
and I started planning En Gedi's dedication and for the JOC
(Harvest Call Board) to come down in a few weeks.
October we got a puppy, to help Neiah get over her fear of dogs,
and Praise Jesus it worked!
November we did a lot of finishing up and putting ducks in a row so we
could spend all of Dec- Jan 5 in the states helping Mom as she recovered
from back surgery. We also had one placement at En Gedi getting to care
for a little girl until a bed opened up for her.
O' and through ALL of that, we did a complete circle of hiring a new
electrician for En Gedi since our first one did things all goofy so we
kept failing government inspections . The new
electricians basically did everything that DIDN"T work, only to inform
me right before we were leaving that we needed to rip out the electrical
that runs from the house to the main pole on the road and start again.
BOO!
So As I write this they are once more making holes in walls to rip out
wire, and replace it with stronger wire to LORD willing get us past
the electrical inspection.
Our Time in the States: (In random order)
A cold and snowy Christmas morning!
roasting smores in December, because she asked
to and Papaw is a big softy.
Family Christmas with Papaw and Mamaw.
Spending as much time as allowed outside in
the snow playing.
Celebrating her 6th birthday
with most of her favorites! (aka her cousins)
Arriving back home (to Jamaica)
and spending as much time outside as possible.
(when she is not in school)
Loving on Brita as much as she will allow.
Trying to figure out the art of kite flying
(a kite was her 1 request from Santa this year)
Praying you all have a blessed new year!

Yay for an update from Erin D! Big BOOOOOO for the electrical stuff though:(
Good morning, how are you?
My name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys travelling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are very small countries with very few population, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this, I would ask you one small favour:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Jamaica? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Jamaica in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Calle Valencia, 39
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally, I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
