Surprise!

Meet John. I have had the privilege to love on this little
guy most Sundays since his birth since his mom comes to New
Life Church and is also apart of our single woman's bible study.
For weeks I had heard rumors that I was possibly John's
god mother, but I didn't think much of it since his mom
never talked to me about it.

about 2 weeks ago we had a "We Love You John" party
since he just turned 5 months old and we had not yet
thrown a baby shower for Shyvonne. We still wanted to
have some party for her to let her know we are there to
love and support her so we came up with the
"We Love You John" party. While playing a game at the party.
the question was asked "who is John's god mother?"
and all the ladies signed "Erin!"
Surprise! I'm a god mother and I didn't even know it:)

his two teeth.
What a Stud!

My New Morning Routine

With the kids on Easter Holiday and no work teams here
In the mornings I now love to go out ...

crawl into my hammock...

and relax while having my quiet time.

Praising Jesus for this Break!



Please pray for Gawayne too.
He is only student whose parents have
not come to get him yet.
We keep trying to reach his mother,
but as of yet she is not answer her phone.
Thanks,

Cricket

Cricket is a game that I have watched my boys play for
years and I am still clueless to what its all about.

the boys recently made some new....I don't know the technical
name, but its the thing that goes behind the batter that
the pictures try to hit, and have been playing cricket
regularly ever since.
In my limited understanding I know that...

we have the bowler aka the pitcher

and the batter doing his best to protect the wooden
thing behind him by hitting the ball away.

Then Odaine made this rolling catch and all the boys started
running and jumping and shouting... then the game was over...
and I have no idea why.

Still so much to learn!

Meet Highland Park

This is the 2nd time I have hosted this team. They are a
great group from Michigan and I had a lot of fun with them.
At the end of the week Tony (our construction guy) informed
the team at the beginning of the week he didn't have very high
expectations from their team but they proved him wrong. :)
He later told me this team came in second to an A.C. team!

Shes Back!!!

Last week I was blessed to have Tamara come and visit.
She was on spring break and I was on my last team of
a long stretch of continual teams. I love having her around
because she is so easy going and doesn't hesitate to jump
in and help.

Tues & Thurs she jumped in and helped read stories
to my little's class that comes in for story/craft time.

Wednesday Blake, Tamara and I went to Mobay for the day.
We started at the beach:), and ended up at the Mobay
school so she could catch up with friends there.

Thursday she chauffeured me around so I could run my
errands for the school and team.

She did a great job driving...only scaring me once:)

Friday we hosted the team on their free day to Y.S.

Last time we all went to Y.S. Matt was with us. So we
took a picture of us missing him to send him.

Saturday was a rough day as I had to tell her bye,
But I Praise Jesus for the time I had with her!

Praising Jesus that as I blog it has been pouring rain
for about the last hour! I hope it keeps up all night!

Jumble Sale

Praising God that last Sat. we had a very successful
Jumble Sale. My phone started ringing before 6 a.m.
the morning of to prepare for the big day.

We started with an apt. room filled with donations to sell,
and ended with just a few boxes. So thankful for all that
we were able to sell as we raised money for the school.

Tent Meeting

2 weeks ago we had our deaf revival week, and to finish
off the week we had a big tent meeting for church where
deaf came from all over the island for the service.

the kids from New Life Church for the Deaf sharing
a song during the tent meeting

Jordan and Andre singing at the tent meeting

Pastor Damian singing "Hurry Up!"

Pastor Bruce who came down with his family from Florida
to lead deaf revival.
His topic through the week was boldness
in Christ. And I don't really know how that tied in with his
topic for Sunday which was "The great white throne". I was
only able to attend Sunday since I had a team while he was here.

The 2 pastors and all those attending the tent meeting

Tashi, me, and Tamara after a long day at the tent meeting.
I love these girls and praise God for their friendship!
