Haiti and Barn

I know a lot of you have been asking how things are going so here is a little update….

Other than being very busy with work, I went down to Haiti about three weeks ago for two weeks. It went really well and I had a lot of fun. We went down there to teach some kids at an orphanage typing tutor and to give the directors a break. Giving the directors a break came a bit faster and bigger than we expected… the night we got there they told us that they are leaving the next day in the afternoon and leaving us in charge of the orphanage for the weekend. That was a challenge but went well.

The day before we left I got an email telling me that my barn had burn down at home along with all my goats (a bunch of them where new kids) some sheep, and all a bunch of wood working tools. That was hard to take and deal with for me and I think harder for my family since they felt responsible and saw it burn down. But God is good and sent lots of friends around to comfort and for support. Last week I received a gift from a friend and with that I should be able to rebuild the whole barn this year. Praise God!
So with business and building my barn and everything else that I want to do I am going to be very busy this summer.
