Things to pray about

*That the Haitian government will get their act together and get a place to move the "tent cities" before the rain starts getting too bad.  It rained two nights ago and it was really bad.  People were getting swept out of their "tents" and thrown down hills. And that rain wasn't even that bad I was told.
*That the Haitian people will gain some sort of work ethic and realize that the only way they are going to get Haiti out of the mess its in is by working.
*That people would start caring about each other and have more respect for themselves.  The people here often don't need to live in the dirt. They could clean their houses, and some of them do. You can tell which ones care and which ones don't.
*We are starting a Kids program and I have no idea how to do it. We are going to be playing it mostly by ear.
*That I don't get malaria--I forgot to take the stuff to prevent it on Thursday
*For Brittany, one of the girls I'm living with, she can't sleep at night.  She was here when the earthquake happened.
*That the last two adoptions go through. It will take God intervening to get them to their adoptive family. Brittany is their adoptive big sister.
*David is testing positive for HIV, we are praying that it is just his mom's and that it will go out of his system and not hurt him. He is five months old.
*All of the women who work here as nannies or maids have lost their houses and some lost their whole families. All have lost friends.  I don't even know how to pray for them except for comfort.

    Thanks for giving us a specific list of things on your heart to pray for. When you suggested before you left, that you would break rocks, I didn't ever think you really would. You are truly an amazing Amazon woman!!. Everything from feeding and cuddling a baby to sharing the gospel, giving antibiotics in IVs, carrying bread on your head and breaking rocks.....just call Danelle, she'll do it. I hope you are keeping a journal so you won't forget any of what God is using you to do.
    Love you so much and praying for you always.
