It's hard to believe we are in May. April was a good month but it seemed to fly by in a blur. We enjoyed the Faith and the Terre High School Seniors immensely, but we made sure they made it on their departure flights:) We want to bless them each as they seek the Lord for their future.
One week after Faith High School left, we enjoyed visitors from Miss Jalane's home church, Ed & Carol Miller, and Amy. Ed and Carol are very ambitious and did lots of exploring on their own. They learned things about our community in one week than we didn't know after 10 months.
One highlight while Ed's were here, was visiting Grand Etang and the monkeys. Morgan was excited to see them too, but, realized that they were not puppies or totally tame when one bit her because she pulled its tail.
Terry Hill High School arrived last Wed. April 29. They did some work projects for one of our church ladies. The girls spent a lot of time with the community children. The girls also did a deep cleaning of our whole house. They could testify that it was VERY dirty! The group also enjoyed the beach, spent a day passing out tracts/singing/street ministry/shopping, and touring. They took all of the Sunday School classes Sunday morning, and were in charge of School devotions Mon. morning.
We 'Grenadians' made a Grenadian meal for the High school Mon. evening. Kendall and Ginger Fox (from Laborie) made this delicious pot, 'oil down'. Please don't miss the pig snout!
We had a picnic with them Tues. evening before they left. It was exciting to hear each of them say how God spoke to them during the week.

The children's mattresses needed cleaning so we had fun in the meantime. Needless to say, 1 1/2 weeks later, they are still not dry:(
This is the building project out our back porch. We now cannot see beyond a block wall 3 feet from our house! Our children are getting to know these workers and love chatting with them after school.
Dad Schrock, this is for you. This is how they pumped the concrete back. I wish I would have taken a picture of the machine out front.
And now my husband is cooking food for a 'Mother's Day' meal tomorrow!! Those of you that know him, know that cooking is not something that he enjoys so this is a HUGE task that he is doing for his Beloved!!! Family day is VERY important to our children, and Saturday's is the usual day for that so we went out for lunch today(We often make it a bigger event but we just had too much going). Marvin also preaches tomorrow so his plate is full this weekend.
Happy Mother's Day!!!!!
