Thank You Mariah
Helping the kids put things together

Thank You Mariah

January 5, 2018 Posted by Karen Huxter 1 Comment

Wonderful to see her arrive. Sad indeed to see her leave. She will be back in God's timing. We will be waiting with arms outstretched.

I must admit that if Mariah had not joined me for this Christmas period it would not have gone well. I can no longer do all that I have handled here, by myself, for far too many years. Being here for Christmas without help is no longer an option. I thank God for all that was done in advance by Jocelyn, and with Hope's help. Mariah took over from there and with the two of us it went well.

Our precious Jocelyn left for a couple of weeks and our precious Mariah arrived for a couple of weeks. God took care of all the arrangements. This morning Mariah left to return to Canada and also this morning Jocelyn left to return home here to our mission site. Actually we are now excitedly awaiting the arrival of the van with her.

Bye precious Mariah

Saying thank you to Roselene and Germaine

Each one of our children liked their lovely Christmas gift donated by Canadians and transported here by Liette and group. A lot of smiles and thank yous were heard. Remote control vehicles, and laughter, are heard every day. A huge thank you to all the people who donated a gift for the children, stocking stuffers, and treats. Greatly appreciated by all of us at HATS-Haiti.

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN

God bless you all.

    Well done Mariah. Blessings on you for jumping in and doing whatever was required of you.
    Your smile and enthusiasm will be missed.
