I am happy to announce that our dear friend in Haiti, Patrick, and his lovely wife, Manette, have been blessed with a new baby girl! Ruth-Shelly was born on January 7, 5 a.m. I don't have a photo yet or all the statistics, but please continue to pray for this precious family. Ruth-Shelly was born by cesarean, so mommy could use some extra prayers. We are so excited for them all and I'll post photos as soon as they're available.
Our grandson, who is due tomorrow (January 9), is still enjoying the security of mommy's tummy...
With regard to Bud and I. Bud's surgery has not resulted in the lessening of pain we had anticipated. He continues to struggle and isn't able to rest well. We return to the doctor on Thursday for another check-up, but she would prefer he remain in the States for three months while he's recuperating. We have notified the field that I will be going back to Haiti on January 20, spend two weeks with the SEC team (including my Mom - yeah!), then return home with Bud. Please pray for Bud's healing to be full and complete.
Trusting in the Lord's timing in everything and so thankful we have a God who knows our every need.

WHATTT?? oh no :( really sorry to hear that he's still not doing well, and that your return is not going to happen as expected/hoped for. We MISS you guys. Watching and praying for your new grandbaby and lots of love and prayers...
Thanks Stacey for your prayers...still awaiting that grandson! Goodness he's slow to come!!! :) Yes, we're disappointed about not coming back when scheduled, but mostly it's hard to watch Bud struggling with the pain. Going to the doctor on Thursday again. Oh the fun! LOL It's great to see the girls on FB and the blog; they are so cute and growing so much. We miss you all too!
