Hi Everyone,

Since we're on the subject of prayer for travel safety, I will be leaving for Haiti with my husband on December 24 and our children and others will be following on December 25. Some of you may have heard about the coup attempt earlier this week. The situation may be very unstable. I would really appreciate any prayers any of you could send up for me. Every time I go to Haiti I get a little scared, but I get even more concerned when my kids are coming along.

Thanks,

Mouse

Mouse,
I will keep you in my prayers. If you die down there, I'll kill ya.

Hey Mouse,
I am writing the request for your family (and friends) on post-it notes so I remember to pray

Christmas Blessings,
selah

Mesi anpil tout moun!

Bondye Bon,

Mouse

P.S. Most of the team will be returning January 3rd, but my husband and I return January 4th. If you have a really outstanding attention span, we could use prayer the whole time.

Thanks

Ok, LOTS of post-it notes!!!

Mouse, that's a long time. Besides protection, is there anything else in particular you would like prayer for?

(I have the large yellow post-its

plenty of room to write more info.)

Selah,

Thanks for your concern. If you want to branch out from the protection petition, it would be nice if you could pray for God to break down the language and cultural barrier. We have one team member who speaks Creole very well, but she's a young adult and the burden of interpreting can be difficult. Some of the rest of us know enough to get ourselves in trouble.

Anyway, it's easy in that kind of environment for the enemy to cause misunderstandings or critical miscommunication. Pray that the Spirit mediates between us and that the young woman interpreting for us will be blessed.

There's always a million little prayer needs, but if you can cover those I've mentioned you can't imagine what a blessing that would be to all of us.

Thanks,

Mouse

Hmm, I think that might be me, too. But I'll try to stay out of trouble this time!

Selah, I'm going to Haiti too, and like Mouse said, you can't imagine what a blessing it is to know that you're praying for us. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Whasssuuuppp,

I have a funny story about getting in trouble with the language. I was trying to teach my husband a few basics the first time he was planning to travel with me to Haiti (You know: things like how to greet people and ask where the bathroom is.) Well, after hours of practice he burst into our kitchen and declared "Mwen twalette la!" Translation: "I am the toilette."

Not exactly what he was going for. But the Haitian kids got a kick out of it.

Are you getting excited?

Oh, and here's another good one:

When Doc went to Haiti with us, he kept hugging the kids and saying, "M' renmen mwen." Translation: "I love me."

Between my husband declaring that he was a toilette and Doc declaring his love for himself, the kids were very entertained and a little confused.

Well everybody, I'm off. Let the prayers begin. I'm going to try to get on an earlier flight to Miami if you want to sneak in a bonus prayer. God Bless all of you.
