Fun with Miriam Center Kids













The past few day have been full of Miriam Center Fun. We took them swimming yesterday in their new pool, they loved it. They shot lots of water guns, Den-Den loved kicking his feet, and lost of waterball were thrown. Later on we took them on a train ride and then after Devo's we brought all the kids upstairs and watched a cars and shared popcorn and juice with them.



Today was church and we took 4 of the Miriam kids to church. Dend-Den, John, Steven, and Mary-Julie. John was so cute when it was time to pray he closed his eyes and put his hand over his face, he was waving his hands in the air during worship. It was priceless. We took them to children's church and they got to participate by holding signs that said the fruits of the spirit. 

This afternoon I went over to the Baby orphanage for a while and played with the kids. Then I got to talk to mom and dad which was great, then I worked on some evaluation stuff, and finished up working on a few wheelchairs. Then I sat down and played file folder games with the kids for the first time. They loved it. Thanks shirley for all your help laminating :) Then I got Kim to feed herself on her own :) I was so excited.

Courtney and I went into the new building and admired our walls. It is coming along so good. Then we were planning and imaging what was going to go on all the walls. It was fun :)

  1. Autumn - You just continue to amaze me with all your energy. The pictures tell such a story of the JOY you bring to these kids. Praise God for your heart for these "the least of His children"

    Love you and can't wait to see you.

  2. Autumn,
    We have so much enjoyed reading your blog and keeping up with some of the wonderful things that the LORD has accomplished in the time that you have been in Haiti. It has to be so AMAZING to have people be able to sit up, eat, play, learn and be stimulated with the activities, tools and resources that you and the others have put in place. We are in AWE-but we know all things are possible with the AWESOME GOD that we LOVE. Have a safe trip home. We LOVE U!! Aunt Linda and Uncle Larry
