We also had two lovely young ladies stay with us, Maddy and Amy! Maddy is a nutritionist, so she got to go to our little clinic down the road and do little seminars on nutrition. Amy came to help wherever she was needed! They sat in on classes at EBS, had deep conversations with our visiting professors, and they even did a girls weekend with me and my friends!</div>

While waiting for the doctor to come, we visited the dentist. I thought, at first, these rooms in the picture below were bathrooms. But they were doctor/dentist offices.</div>

Now most of you know I recently translated for a dentist for a week while the medical team was here. So I have seen MANY a tooth pulled and I am very familiar with your average dental office. I watched as he numbed the sweet old woman's mouth, and after a couple minutes he went in to pull the tooth. Out the tooth came (with impressive speed I might add), and he went back in to check for pieces of tooth still hiding in her gums. Simple. I turn to see Anna sitting on the floor with her head between her knees. "Uhh, are you okay??" She quickly informs me that she had never seen a tooth pulled. "I figured I might as well get on the floor that way I don't hit my head on the way down." Oh the joys of the medical field.</div>

This is the start of team season. In fact, we have a team here right now! So far this week we've visited Streethearts! (<a href="http://www.streetheartshaiti.org/">http://www.streetheartshaiti.org</a>)</div>

Usually we spend the majority of our time with the kiddos, but these past two days have been more focused on the staff. We had a Bible study with the staff where they asked TONS of great questions, and Junior was right there, opening the Word and showing them answers. It was just incredible. At one point Bob (a team member) asked how they could live for Jesus today. I was surprised by one of the answers we received. He said, "I will love Jesus with all of my heart, all of my strength, all of my mind, and with all that I own." <b><i>All that I own</i></b>. I have never heard anyone say that before. This guys have <u>nothing</u>. The staff of Streethearts come from the street, and thats why its so easy for the boys to relate to them. These guys live in the ghettos, the lowest of the low, and he says that he will love God with all he owns. Its amazing to me that people with so little are willing to hand everything over to God. And then you have me, who has more than I need, and who clings onto everything, unwilling to let God have what I own. I am learning so much from the humble men and women God has surrounded me with. </div>

I love that place. The boys that live there are so sweet considering all they've been through. If you don't know anything about Streethearts, its an organization in Cap Haitien for boys who live on the street. It provides them a loving home, and a chance to get to know Jesus more. One of the activities we did with the boys this week was writing down our issues or problems on a piece of paper and nailing it to the cross. I helped the little boys who didn't know how to write yet. After a lesson with Joe (another team member), we removed the papers from the cross and burned them. </div>

Streethearts needs prayer. The kind of ministry they do is incredibly difficult. Street boys have been through so much. They are scared and turn to violence and crime because they don't know any different. Even when they are placed in the program, they still have their old lives calling their names. Its so hard to stay walking the straight and narrow when turning away is so easy. Please keep the staff and the boys constantly in your prayers. </div>

Come to find out she was the grandma of the one-month-old little baby. Apparently the mother was only 14, and she abandoned the baby. The baby hadn't eaten in several days but was surprisingly healthy. I went with Grandma to the pharmacy to get the baby some electrolyte packets, and then I was able to feed the little guy through a syringe. Granny ended up sending someone into town to buy some formula for him. </div>

But for the past month or so, we have been getting rain, all. day. long. Pounding on the tin roofs of all the little huts in northern Haiti, flooding the streets, soaking the ground. Fortunately, this past week it seems to be letting up, drizzling only occasionally.</div>

Jumping back to my last blog, you might remember me mentioning a medical team that was coming from Canada. Well they came, and it was amazing. We worked at Empower Global's clinic "Jehovah Rapha" for the week, while also doing mobile medical clinics for the three days. After working all day as a translator for the team, it was comforting to know that so many people would be falling asleep that night with no pain. No pain because of the labor of this hardworking team. </div>

We are going to be partnering with Empower Global next week, an organization right down the street from EBS! They are bringing in a team of doctors and nurses from Canada and we are hosting them on our campus. They will be working in their clinic for the week and all next week we will do VBS for kids around the village!! We will also be doing a mobile medical clinic in Flavil, at Pastor Belony's church, next Saturday.</div>

And others worked with me! We weighed people (as I am doing in this picture), we took temperatures, blood pressure and wrote all of their information down on a slip for the doctor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At one point while dropping off patients at the doctor's office, Prudence said "Haylie, grab someone to bathe this child. He's dying of fever and needs to get cool NOW." I frantically grabbed someone and scooped his little scorching hot body in my arms as we ran to the well. I found a kind gentleman to pump the well for Katie and me as we poured water over him. Once I felt his skin was cool I picked him up and we soothingly talked to him as we walked to the pharmacy. I stayed with him until he had taken a dose of Tylenol and then went back to work. Emergency over. It really hit us hard at how privileged we are. I mean, when you have a fever or pain, you go to the medicine cabinet and problem solved. These people have to rely on Jesus and Jesus alone to cure them or death is certain. How beautiful a concept though. So much faith is required to live here. What if that little boy's family wasn't saved? Then they would have had no hope for him. I wonder if we were their answer to prayer... If they prayed for a miracle for their son and God put us there at the right time. </div>

There were several others who walked around to different people and evangelized. The point of this clinic was to not only bring physical healing to these people, but spiritual healing first. Prudence and Pradel are doing such amazing work in Lory and we are so grateful to have been a small part of it!</div>

So, as you can tell by the title, this week was the start of team season here at Emmaus! Our first team of the summer was the group from Calvary United Methodist Church (they came last year if you remember...)! </div>

OUR SOLAR PANELS CAME!!!</div>

I think the best part of the trip was church at Fev. They were celebrating their one-year anniversary as a church, and I have never been to a more beautiful service. I sang with my Haitian brothers and sisters in Creole until I had no voice left, we danced and Hallelujah-ed, we swayed and prayed together, it was beautiful.</div>

Walnique (the pastor of the church in Fev) asked my Mom and me to sing a song in English (the whole service was about worshiping God together). I always enjoy singing with her. The best part was that all of our EBS students were singing along with us (they remembered the song from chapel)! It was incredibly encouraging to hear all of their voices with ours.</div>

This here is the baby of one of our graduates from last year, who married a current student of ours. He is absolutely adorable. </div>

Graduation. Some people say winter is the most wonderful time of the year, but in my opinion, its definitely graduation. Everyone is smiling and laughing (even if we are all drenched in sweat and half suffocating in our fancy dresses and suits). During the service there are choirs and a marching band, beautiful songs lead by our students, an encouraging message by one of our professors or alumni, the Valedictorian of the class giving a speech (which includes him/her telling jokes and saying what they love about their fellow classmates), and praying over the students.</div>

I loved hearing our students singing,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>"Prends, o Jesus, prends ma vie,</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i> Elle est tout a Toi!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Et dans ta grace infinie,</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Du mal garde-moi!"</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The song is basically saying, "Jesus, my life is in your hands. By your grace keep me from evil."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here are our Port-de-Paix guys with their diplomas. I didn't have the chance to get to know these guys well because they didn't live on campus and only came for intensive courses. But I could tell by the few conversations I've had with them that they are joy-filled Christ-like men, and it was a pleasure to get to see them on this special day.</div>

Then, of course, there is the after party at the seminary. Hundreds of happy people with their families, eating our Haitian food made by our splendid kitchen staff. My favorite part was getting to see my closest friends of the students, laughing and joking together like we were never apart. They left last Friday since it was the last day of class, but came back today for graduation. Maybe to you a week apart from them seems like nothing. But after spending almost every day of my life with them since Christmas break, a week seems like forever. I have literally been counting down the days until this momentous day. </div>

Now I know that I might have made life in Haiti sound absolutely perfect, and that life at Emmaus is a care-free vacation. But it isn't. Emmaus is my home. Haiti is my home. I am certainly in love with what God is doing here, but don't get the wrong idea. We struggle through everyday life. We experience good days and bad days. We miss family and friends back in the states. Its hot, sometimes really hot. But it is all worth it. It is worth the difficult stuff because we are working towards helping Emmaus be what God intends it to be. We have gone through so much, seen so much pain, but continue to give God glory in the midst of suffering. We believe that as Christians, we can find joy in our pain, and that it helps us to grow stronger.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold. </i></div>
<div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;">
<i>My feet have closely followed His steps, I have kept to his way without turning aside."</i></div>
<div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;">
<i>Job 23:10-11</i></div>
<div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So yes, God is doing wonderful things through Emmaus. Yes, I adore each one of our students and faculty and life here in Haiti. But we are still human. We still struggle. But we use this as an opportunity to learn, so that we may be made better. We still need your support. We need your prayers, your encouragement, your love. Thank you guys for being here with us on glorious days like today, the average days, and the days when nothing seems to be going right.</div>

To start off, I just want to thank everyone who supported the making of this basketball court! It has been used non-stop since the day Dad told them they could use it! </div>

Rosa, Mom and I all work together to clean rooms and get them set up for teams and visitors, and we thought this room could use some flare.

So starting February 12th, a family friend named Andrew (we call him Turtle) has been working as an intern here at the seminary! He's been very helpful to Dad, helping out with whatever Dad needs him to do! He also eats dinners with our family each night and we have lots of fun playing games, watching movies and reminiscing about Delanco Camp! (The camp we attend each year- and absolutely LOVE!) He's staying until May 21st, and we're excited to have him around!</div>

So another recent project the guys have been working on is the treehouse and swing set for Lily and Sofie! It's coming along well and should be done in the next couple of weeks! One of our Haitian friends is even working on an authentic woven palm leaf roof for the top!</div>

On Monday, one of our beloved staff members, Mona, had her last day at the seminary. Since she's getting older, her daughter (who lives in the United States) told her she'd pay for her ticket if Mona came to live with her. We had a goodbye service for her where students and staff all said how much they cherished her presence, but they understood why she was leaving. We all put our hands on her and sang hymns and prayed over her. We all felt mixed emotions, sad to have her leave us, but happy that she will be with her daughter.</div>

I thought it was so amazing how much our students care about our little old kitchen lady, Mona. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How much we ALL care about her.</div>

Next week is our annual Spring Break and we will be going to the Dominican for a few days to unwind and relax. (If dad doesn't go away he won't stop working!!) We also have a great friend Briana coming to visit for the week, which we are all VERY excited about! </div>

So I know this is kinda late but...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently while praying I asked God to give me a clean slate and a new start. I asked Him to kindle a new fire in heart so that I may be a light and a blessing to others. The day after I prayed this prayer my mom asked me about my thoughts on baptism. I said I wanted to be baptized soon, and in Haiti at Cormier beach. She then tells me that we were going to Cormier this Saturday (the 30th). I felt like God was telling me, "YES, be baptized this Saturday,".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What better a way to start this new fire in my heart than to be baptized? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was excited, and went to ask Ethan how he felt about being baptized. He told me he wanted to be baptized with me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that day we went to the beach with our lovely visiting professors, and had the wonderful privilege of being baptized by Matt!<br />

It's crazy how quickly November flew by for us in Haiti. I absolutely love the end of the school year here at Emmaus! We have a talent show, soccer tournaments, relay races, and a big Christmas party together with our students and staff....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
As you probably remember me saying in my other blog (if you read it of course),<br />
I love this seminary. I love our staff. And I love our students.<br />
<br />
I'm rejoicing because God has blessed me with such a great family. Not just Mom, Dad, Rosa and Ethan, but our fellow missionaries, and everyone who is here at the seminary.<br />
<br />
I recently went on a one day missions trip with Rosa and the students to an orphanage for handicapped children.<br />
It was a humbling, heart-wrenching, but truly amazing experience. I'm not gonna go into specifics with you, but if you want to know more about our experience there, visit Stacey's blog:<br />

To start off the soccer tournaments we had our staff vs. student match! Usually, since our staff are all older than our students, they lose pretty much every year. But this year, we had Rosa join the team (which everyone wasn't too sure about at first since girls don't play soccer in Haiti), and she scored the winning goal for the staff! </div>

We had one of the most amazing Christmas services ever (haha, in my opinion)...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had several students read scripture passages and we sang a bunch of English Christmas songs with them. They loved it, and we loved it.</div>

Every year we get new first year students, and they have to get "baptized" into the seminary by their fellow students, which means being teased for an entire day. It's a Haitian tradition and it's apparently very necessary to do for them to be accepted into the family... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was hilarious to watch them get squirted with water and get flour thrown on them :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The best part was that the first years loved it too!</div>

We have been serving in Haiti for over 2 years now, (going on 3!) ... working each day at the EBS campus, living daily life and routine in our home... and lately we have been hit hard with a reality in our lives...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How often do we walk by things in our busyness, day after day, and not realize how much they are changing and growing? How often do we miss out on seeing God's blessings or thanking Him for His goodness to us because we get so busy that we don't take the time to stop, to take it in and to appreciate?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am certain this happens to all of us to some extent, right? (Please tell me we're not the ONLY family who does this... :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Per the suggestion of my Momma's dear friend (thank you Janis!), this post is dedicated to the changes that have been happening here at Emmaus over the past 2 years. I have been looking through old pictures of the seminary and I'm very excited to share these before and after pictures!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If we will just spend time each day noticing what is going on around us, thanking God for what He is doing, we will be continually reminded of His provision, His blessings and His faithfulness... my family's prayer is that this post might help you to stop and take time today to notice and to praise Him for all that He has done for you!<br />
<br />
These first few are from around our houses....</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am excited to announce that there are some much needed changes happening with the blog!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As much as I have wanted to stay in touch on here, with the ridiculous amount of reading I am doing for school (some weeks its over 500 pages!) plus the time I am spending sitting in front of a computer screen and typing papers, forums, critiques, taking exams and submitting assignments... I just can't seem to find the time or energy to write and keep up with the blog...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After talking with my dear friend about how frustrated I have been with myself for not keeping up, she encouraged me to STOP trying to do it all and turn over the responsibility to someone I KNOW can handle it! (Thank you Kris!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SO... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our daughter Haylie is such a fabulous writer and has done a great job staying in touch through HER blog that I have asked her to officially take over our family blog... and she is SUPER excited about that! Haylie is now writing for us and I know she will keep you all connected on a regular basis.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you all SO much for your patience with me and for your desire to connect with our family and with what God is doing here at Emmaus. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Without further ado...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
