A correction

I had written early that Daisha was moved to the public hospital, but I talked to Kirk later and he informed me that she was still with Keri at the private hospital. She has not gotten any worse, but has not improved either. Please continue to pray Thanks!

Meet Daisha

Yesterday Little Daisha Plattner (middle name not yet decided on) was welcomed into this world a month early. Last night I had the opportunity to go over when Kirk came to get the boys and see this little blessing myself
Little Miss Daisha
The boys getting their first look
Truitt just wanted to poke and touch her so his hands had to be held down:)
Drew first thing wanted to know her sign name
This morning Daisha was put back on oxygen and had I.V.'s but in again. They are scared she has an infection so medicine was started and then she was moved to the public hospital. Keri is still at the private hospital waiting to be discharged. Please pray for their family that the medicine will help Daisha, and for healing for Keri so they can both come home.
Thanks
Blessings

The Goodfield Team

This past week I had the opportunity to go to JDV and spend a week with my home church.
(if you click on the pictures they become bigger)

The group picture after church

Getting to spend a week with:
My Mom, Cousin Rod, his son Kyle, Cousins Emily and Tiffany
Interpreting in Church while Jed preached on Sunday
He did a great Job as the deaf kept coming up to me telling me
how much they learned and enjoyed the sermon
Tony Driving the Mule and only having 3 people fall off while doing so.

The Slip n' Slide that was set up on rainy afternoons to have fun and pass the time.

I have a lot more pictures but not a lot of time to post.

I will get them up as soon as possible.

Thanks for such a great week Goodfield! I love you!

Please Pray

Please Pray for the Plattners. Keri was taken into the hospital yesterday when she was experiencing bad pains. She was not in labor and given a shot for the pain then kept over night for observation. This morning she did start having contractions. I don't know if they were going to let them come or try to stop them. They were planning on flying back to the states tomorrow to have the baby. Please keep them in your prayers. Thanks

To Show Our Appreciation

I had to wait to post these pictures just in case Ionda wanted to do this again with the Goodfield Sunday School who will be working with use this week. Now a week ago Friday after we had finished our work week and the team had cleaned up I asked the team for one more group shot. They all lined up and Ionda was in the tractor with the bucket up and filled with water. As you can see to show our appreciation for all their hard work we wanted to cool them off a little after they worked so hard:)
All ready for the picture not suspecting a thing
Still mostly clueless to what is about to happen.
Wayne looks up and sees the water...
Wayne takes off while the water starts to hit the top row
bottom row still clueless...
Those on the outer parts of the line not phased by the water being
dumped on those in the middle
Chaos as realization hits and people start running
Screams and Chaos continue...

Screams, laughter, and lots of wet people!

Me And Jaimie

On May 16th I had my first visitor come and stay with me!
My friend Jaimie came down from Indy to hang out with me for a week. We spent the first week here at KP hosting a work team before we both headed over to JDV to join Ted's work team.
