Since Haiti

In case you've been wondering what has been happening since we returned from Haiti . . .

Life has gotten back to normal.  Allyson has begun working for Grey Stone Kids Camp as their Camp Director this summer.  She ordered a couple of programs to help her begin learning Creole - though I'm not sure how that is going for her.  I have dropped the ball in helping her, so maybe next week she and I can get back on that!   She also planned another trip to Haiti (which has already come and gone now) so we had a couple of VERY successful fund raisers to pay for that trip!  They were lots of fun!  She came home from this most recent trip with a lot of exciting news and answers!!  She was advised to go through Christian Light Ministries, so this past week she and I took a road trip to Jacksonville, FL so she could meet with them.  Again, VERY successful!  They loved her - of course - and though they have to get the board's approval they don't anticipate any issues.   We should get the official ok by the end of next week.  We are planning to meet with a CPA next week to be sure we understand how to keep accurate records of things that Christian Light won't and also how to do fund raising from the tax standpoint, etc.   Once that is all done . . .  LET THE FUND RAISING BEGIN!!!  Whoo Hooo!!

We have few things on the list to do:  speak at as many churches as we can for a love offering, we're going to have a Spaghetti dinner with a silent auction (this will take a lot of planning and will be no small task), we've got some Haiti items to sell, etc.   There are some other things we're going to check into as well - but can't really mention those yet.   Please pray for us as we jump into this part of the journey!

Another thing we need to do is to begin a newsletter and start a list of those that want to be on the mailing list!   The nice thing is that Christian Light will take care of all of the mailings!!  Allyson needs to sharpen up her presentation(s) so that she'll be ready for her speaking engagements. 

It's all starting to get very exciting!!  God is continuing to open the doors for this move.
