I'm lovin it(The McDonald's Theme Song)

Wednesday, April 29th, still no internet I am using AM and Rob’s computer to send these off. Ok so my last note I left off as frustrated then over the weekend I read this book called Crazy Love, by Francis Chan. If you are a Christian you have to read it, it totally kicked my butt! I realized that my attitude was not joyful, not loving. I think I was being selfish and lazy, and felt like I should just get credit for being here and not have to go above and beyond, I was not having a servant‘s heart. Then I realized I want to serve, I want to do whatever it takes, and I want to be a joyful presence! Sunday, I went and got all the kids from the hospital and AM’s and Rob’s three girls. We all went on a walk to the river, where all the kids stripped down and went swimming. I ended up falling in the river and swimming as well! I cannot walk in Haiti, I am such a clutz! It was so much fun and all the kids were laughing. Then on Monday I went to the hospital and gave some babies, and some toddlers baths which was also pretty fun. Except I had about 15 people watching me the whole time. I like to put on a show for everyone, the added bonus is that I have no idea what they are saying about me. The babies are still in limbo but I got Eli and Robcheley to smile which was awesome! Also, on Monday I got to put stitches in a man’s ear which was something I didn’t think I would do. Yesterday, and today I helped with two deliveries. While helping delivery a baby a woman brought in twins, John Brown and James Brown(yes those are their names) who are 11 days old, they each weigh 3 pounds. So we admitted them to the hospital. I am optimistic, the fact that they are still alive in a miracle. But we are officially on baby overload. But I love all the babies and the kids. I started giving all of them kisses and hugs and they get so excited. There is not much affection for the kids here, so I am trying to give everyone their daily hugs! It always makes me feel good too! Except now everywhere I go I have about 6 kids following me which makes it difficult to be productive, but in the best way! I apologize for not responding to emails, as soon as we get the internet again, I will be emailing more frequently!
