I know many of you are probably wondering what in the world I'm doing up here in Pennslvania while Ricahrd is doing all the hard work in Haiti, that is, besides feeding Ricky, doing his laundry and driving him around. (By the way, thank you for your prayers--Richard made it back safely and so far the trip to Verrettes is going well.)
I have been taking a very interesting class in Education at Philadelphia Biblical University, working on our prayer letter and new prayer card. I've been spending time with family and friends, too.
Now one of my jobs is boxing up donations that we have received, making the packing list and taking them out to CAM in Ephrata to have them shipped to Haiti. If you would like to include anything in this shipment, keep in mind, CAM can only send humanitarian aid which can include books to be used for literacy and education. Bibles can be part of this. Of course, French Bibles are best, but many like having an English Bible. I would not want to ship a large quantity of English Bibles, though. We can NOT ship medicine through them either--and that includes even ibuprofen, acetaminophen (Tylenol), ointments, etc. But we CAN ship bandaids, ace bandages, diapers, etc. Feel free to ask me if you are thinking about somethign you'd like to send.
Please also keep in mind that it costs at least $1/pound to send these things to Haiti. If you would like to make a donation to cover the shipping cost, that would help so much.
Richard will updating soon on the progress of the Verrettes trip.
