Meet Jenna

This is Jenna Inns. She arrived on Thursday and will be spending the next month hanging out with us here at CCCD.

Adventures With Jenna
Sunday Night after chapel I went home and Jenna went to her apt. Then I heard her call me because she had a lizard in the shower and wanted me to come get rid of it for her. So I walked over and picked up (to put outside) a little lizard on the way to get the big one out of the shower. When I got in there I knew it was not a lizard but didn't know what the big dark object that was making a shadow on the shower curtain was so I slowly peeled it back from the opposite end. As soon as I started to move the curtain a little mouse head popped up and over the top of the shower rod. The mouse then jumped up onto the shower rod and then off the rod and onto the floor. It ran right past me and I had a split second to decide to step on it or not as it ran past but I was bare foot so opted for trying to catch it another way. We lost it as it ran past Jenna and into the kitchen, but set a glue trap and the next morning were surprised to find 2 little fellas instead of just one!
Let the adventures continue.

Gazadas!

Thanks to these guys/gals

Saturday afternoon Eteal came to me asking if I could come take pictures at the party

that night. I asked what the party is for and she replied "the kids"

okay it was a random party! and here are some of the pictures from that party

the party game where you run up with a balloon and sit on it to see who can pop it first.

the kids with there cake, ice cream, cheese balls, granola bars,

and ready to watch the movie!

Good times had by all!

Praise Report

The shoe people arrived today.

With all the shoes!!!!!

We Praise you Jesus.

They were asked directly in the airport if they had gifts and not wanting to lie

they told them yes and were moved to the "declare" line. They were told they needed

a wavier from the ministry of finance blah blah blah. The supervisor came and looked through all the suitcases and then let them go! No taxes had to be paid, No shoes were taken.

God is SO Good!

Shoes

I have a prayer request.

Monday morning we have a team of 6 arriving on the island who are bringing to us

140+ pairs of tennis shoes that have been generously donated to the kids here.

The possible problem is there is only 6 bringing all these shoes. That mean each person will be caring over 20 pairs of shoes. Customs is not always something thats pleasant to go through here on the island and my prayer is that they can smoothly get through customs with no problems, that they are not made to "declare" all these shoes resulting in paying a large sum of money to get them out of the airport, or that customs will just take the shoes.

Please help me to pray them through the airport Monday Morning.

Thanks and Blessings!
