Buckets of Hope

This week our Sunday School class decided to donate a bucket for the people of Haiti. Baptist Global Response is the organization who is heading up this project to feed the people in Haiti. We had a great time purchasing the specific items and packing the bucket, which will be delivered to the SC Baptist organization in Columbia, and then be shipped to Haiti.
BGR is no stranger to us, as we had been acquainted with them while working in Zambia. In fact, these same kind of buckets (with different materials) were provided for people living with AIDS in Africa. This is a wonderful project and our missionaries on the field appreciate the donations from churches in the States who provide them. Thank you, Southern Baptists, for what you are doing to help!

More SNOW


It's a good thing the kids were already out of school today. The snow started around 2-3pm and Lizzie was anxious to get outside.

Kelsey had a time walking Lizzie in the snow. Lizzie just wanted to play and pull on the leash. Meanwhile, Austin begins making a snowman as the sun is setting.

At 7am the next morning, Kelsey was up and ready to go back outside in the snow.
Here's our "snow angel"
Lizzie went out and found that the snowman had a carrot for a nose. She decided Mr. Snowman didn't need that nose so she would just eat it!
Here's our neighborhood with about 3-4 inches of snow.
These are views from our upstairs looking onto the mountains.

Everytime the door opened, Lizzie bolted out onto the porch to eat some snow.
"Mom, please let me go back out!?"
Our house covered in SNOW!
