Bonswa,

I have to blog on the tent situation in Haiti again. We received a response from Pastor Pierre today as to what we need to present to people in our presentation at our church next weekend. His reply was this. "The raining season seems to be starting early. People are getting wet from under the tarps. We urgently need tents in this city. People are so stressed when the weather look like rain is coming. Please note that we need as many tents as possible." So there you have it in his words. We really need to make an effort to get tents and get them soonest to Haiti.

Use your imagination for a minute. You are living in one of these tarp/sheet "shelters". They work ok for keeping off the sun, but now it's starting to rain. Hard. Every day. Nothing stays dry. Everything is always wet. You have no place to go that is out of the rain. The mosquito population is growing exponentially. People are getting sick from being constantly damp and wet. Life is getting harder. It wasn't easy to begin with. Now what do you do??? You pray for help. And pray some more. You really need a better shelter, but where will you get better shelter when you have nothing?? You are dependant on the benevolence of other people. Will they provide what you need?? When you need it??

We here in the States are blessed beyond description. We don't have to worry about shelter, food or water. If we don't have them, there are programs that will meet our needs, and quite quickly. The relief aid is still going on in Haiti, but the need is greater than the supply.

Please keep the people of Haiti in your prayers. They are a desperately needy people right now. Any little bit you can do will make a big difference to someone there. Remember that 100% of any funds donated to Nehemiah Vision Ministries goes directly to helping people in Haiti. Their staff is all volunteer, and not paid.

I wish I could do more to help in Haiti right now, but this is what I can do. I can pray. I can make needs known. I can pray. I can send what little I can to help make a difference. I can pray some more, because I have a heavenly Father who loves me and loves His children whatever country they may live in, and He hearts my prayers. HE can provide all our needs, but He can also use US to provide for the needs of others, and expects it of us. I know I'm getting preachy here, but I can't help myself.

So, please pray. And please do what you can. Even if it's only letting others know of the need. For those of you who have already donated tents...A thousands thanks!! If anyone else has a tent or tents to donate... let us know. We will figure out how to get them where they need to go to get them to Haiti. My email is cpeterson2@stny.rr.com.

Serving the Savior,
Cindy

Today's pictures are from the Nehemiah Vision Ministries children's home. The first is the kitchen facility where their food is cooked. You can see in the background a stove like the one that is in use off the left side of the picture. It burns wood as you can see from the woodpile. I didn't see too many pots and pans, just a couple. If you've ever tried cooking over a wood fire while camping, you know how hard that is. And it's what they do every day there. No gas or electric range. No wall oven. And yet they make good meals for the children and staff.

We were there at mealtime one day and the rest of the pictures are of the children at the home enjoying their meal. They were not distracted by me and my camera!!! They were way to busy eating their lunch!

When you go there to visit, you are swarmed by little hands wanting to hold your hand, be hugged, and paid attention to. Especially if they already know you! Right Mr. Chip!!? Right Miss Stephanie!!!? They are adorable children who just want to be loved. That is a grandma's dream!!!

The children of Haiti are it's future. We need to assist them in any way we can to become educated, well adjusted and Godly adults. We only went for a week, but Haiti stole our hearts. We will be going back in May for a second week. After that, who knows. We may be going back a lot.

Please continue to pray for Haiti. For workers in God's harvest fields. For recovery, rebuilding and growth. For physical and spiritual needs to be met. For strength for it's people. For recovery of their government. For orphans, widows and widowers. For the world not to quickly forget.

Bondye beni ou!
Bon nuit!

Tonight Tim and I had the privilege of presenting our Haiti experiences to the MAPS Kids group at our church. Our littlest prayer warriors have been praying for us and the people of Haiti since they learned we were going. They are great prayer warriors too! Everything they prayed for happened or didn't happen as the case may be. They were very interested in the tent village and how those people are living right now. We set up a quick model of how the Hatian people are rigging up shelter any way they can. They all had to get in and try lying down to see how many could fit. They discovered it wasn't very comfortable either. They also decided it won't keep you dry if it rains! They will now pray for tents for Haiti, the people in Chambrun, and for Mr and Mrs Peterson to go back to Haiti. And as we said before their prayers are effective!

We also taught them a worship chorus in Creole, "How Great is Our God". Bondye-m non se gran!! Our God is great!!!

We have had computer issues the last couple of days, so had to go to plan B for the presentation tonight. Hopefully we can make the presentation for the adults in 2 weeks under plan A. We did learn in Haiti to be prepared to possibly need to use plan C, D, E or even plan F!!!

We wonder how many future missionaries we addressed tonight in our little group. They are learning about their spiritual gifts lately, and several have the potential to be missions oriented. We never dreamed we would be there, yet here we are doing short term mission trips!

Praying for the whole world to hear,
Tim and Cindy

Transportation in Haiti is widely varied, and depends on a lot of factors. Where are you going? Long distance or short distance? How many are going? One or two or twenty? How much can you spend to get where you want to go? And a bunch of other considerations.

The upper photograph is of Haitian taxi's or "tap-taps". To use the tap-tap you get in when it's stopped(hopefully), and when you need to get out at your destination you tap on the vehicle(loudly) to be let off. Thus the name. Payment is made on exiting the vehicle. We never did find out the rate, but it can't be much because there are a lot of them around, and a lot of people using them!

The second picture is a typical delivery type truck. Brightly painted as many vehicles are in Haiti. (It reminded us a lot of the vehicles we saw in India.) They seemed to deliver whatever they could manage to fit in them. There were also the usual 10 wheel construction type trucks as well as semi's. We had a couple of interesting encounters with semi's on the back dirt roads that were barely wide enough for the bus we were on!! Let's just say traffic jam and leave it there!

The third picture is of one the Nehemiah Vision Ministries small trucks. It is used to transport all kinds of things, including people as you can see. Here is a Haitian joke...How many Haitians can you fit in a truck????? Answer.......always one more!!!! And boy do they! Every lap holds at least two others. No space is left unused as long as there is someone who needs a ride. They are a very friendly people! Riding in the back of the pickup is dusty however!

The last photo is of course the mode of transportation that has been around the longest. A trusty burro, or horse with a wooden saddle and panniers. They carry people, loads of wood, produce, charcoal, whatever needs to be transported. Obviously they don't go very long distances, but are used in the rural areas a lot. The "parking lot" at Chambrun always had several on clinic days.

There were also the usual bicycles, motorcycles, and automobiles going the longer distances, carrying the smaller loads and fewer people of course. We saw several injuries caused by people falling off the back of the motorcycles. There were helmets in use by some, but not all riding the motorcycles.

There were also helicopters and airplanes of several sizes at the airport. They were flying over all day long going about the tasks they were needed for. We used the helicoptor transport several times to get emergency cases to hospital.

Until the next entry,
Tim and Cindy

Many of you have asked about the destruction in Port Au Prince. We have decided to share a few pictures from there tonight. These pictures are of the Palace. It is equivalent to our White House. As you can see it is destroyed with the center collapsing in. The building lacked adequate internal structural support. I think we can draw a parallel between the palace and our own lives. We often build our lives on what is beautiful and pretty to look at. Real beauty is not what is on the outside, but what is on the inside. Do we have adequate structural support? Haiti is the same way. The beautiful buildings may be gone, but the beauty of the Haitian people and their resolve is what will build it up again.

It is also a time for the rebuilding of Haiti spiritually. While there, we witnessed people praising and worshipping God in ways that we had never experienced before. In the midst of death and destruction they were praising the God who not only created everything but also rules and reigns over it. God can make beauty from ashes, and in the case of Haiti, from dust and rubble.

We have not talked a lot about the destruction in Haiti since we returned. There is a reason for that. We believe that the story of Haiti is not in the destruction but in the children and people who will rebuild. We are continually humbled by the Haitian people and their pride and determination. We believe that God can make something beautiful of not only their lives, but their country.

Seeking Him,
Tim and Cindy

It is said that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. I think that is a very true statement, but sometimes you have to look for the beauty.
Flowers are beautiful. You really don't have to look too hard to see it .That third picture... just a donkey and a bunch of dirt, right? Even the bottom picture is beautiful if you look for it. I want to challenge you to look for the beauty in EVERY picture. If you look hard enough, you will find SOMETHING of beauty. You might have to look REALLY hard in some of them, but if you look hard enough, it is there; somewhere. It may be only the curve of a rock, the shape of a leaf, or a part of the architecture of a building. That bottom picture.. bring your focus up a little, block out the dirt, and now what do you see?? You have to look. Hard. A flash of color? The curve of a wing? The promise of help and hope?? There is something there. You just have to look. (Still not seeing it? It's OK, just keep trying!)

God looks at us that way too. We may not see the beauty in ourselves or others, but it is there. God sees it. You see, it's all in the way we look at things. Are we looking through eyes of love or eyes of hatred, bitterness, envy, self centeredness or a multitude of other possibilities. Filter what you see through God's eyes, and then see what you will see.

Take a few minutes to look through those pictures again , only this time look for something good or beautiful in each one.
I think you will be surprised to see what is there if you take a minute to look for it.

My pictures don't always capture what I was trying for, but they always capture something. I just have to look for it. Something I've learned over the last few years.

I'll get back to the stories tomorrow. And I hope you look at the pictures with new eyes. See the awful stuff, but also look for the good stuff. In every picture.

In Christ alone I stand redeemed.
Cindy

We found this picture to be very interesting. It is a sculpture in Port Au Prince that depicts Haiti holding up the world. Today the world is holding up and supporting Haiti. It is going to take a huge effort by many different countries to assist Haiti in rebuilding. We were struck by the pride and resiliency of the Haitian people. They want to not only rebuild their country but to make it better. It struck both of us that Haiti is really so close to the US but yet we had never really been aware of the country or its struggles. It is a beautiful country with beautiful people and we were once again reminded that God has created all of us. I heard a comment on the radio today that without unity there is no community. How true this is. Without unity in Haiti it will be hard to recreate a community. We believe as does Nehemiah Vision Ministries that the unity and true community come from a belief and relationship with Jesus Christ. Our group in Haiti consisted of Christians from several different churches but yet we worked in unity because of our one belief in Jesus Christ as our Saviour.

We received and update today from the team that is currently on the ground in Haiti. They have been spending alot of time in the IDP camps. Some of these now number over 5000 people per camp. In one tent they found a lady laying on the ground who had been paralized from the neck down since the quake and had recieved no medical care. There are still thousands of people who were injured who have not yet received proper medical care. The group is also taking the time to pray with each patient and to share the love of Christ as they have opportunity. They closed out the e-mail with the following quote which really summarizes how we felt about our time in Haiti and is the reason we are going back. " We are not just treating wounds, we are also treating traumatized minds and broken hearts."

Our desire is to be in Haiti. Nothing has ever affected us the way the people of Haiti have. We are waiting for the Lord's leading.

Todays pictures are of housing in the village of Chambrun. The top and middle pictures show a mud hut under construction and a sample of the finished product. As you can see they are not substantial. They serve only as shelter from the elements, and a private, "secure" area for people to sleep and store what few posessions they may have. They have not changed substantially in form in centuries, other than having tin roofs rather than whatever they would have used before. The mud falls off during rainy season, and has to be replaced regularly. The rain water runs through the "floors" during rainy season, leaving mud behind.

The bottom picture is of a sample house that Nehemiah Vision Ministries is building for a handicapped woman in Chambrun. Her name is Murtha. Murtha has what most medical persons agree is probably MS. She is unable to take care of herself and her 3 little girls. She depends on her mother-in-law for most of her care. Before her house was started, she was living on a mat on the ground in a mud hut as described above. She could not get herself out of the mud when it rained. NVM has provided her with a raised bed to get her out of the mud while they are building her house. The house consists of 2 rooms, is made of concrete blocks, with a ramp to accomodate Murtha's wheelchair. The cost to put it up is about $4,000. NVM is considering a program to build more of these in Chambrun to help others get out of the mud huts. There are other concrete homes in Chambrum, built by the more "wealthy" inhabitants.

Similar to the Bible parable of the wise man building on the rock and not the sand!! Rains come and wash away the mud, but the concrete remains. Obvioiusly the concrete house also survived the earthquake. We need to build our foundations on Christ to withstand the "earthquakes " in our lives.

Bondye beni ou!
(God bless you)

PS : E'Tienne is home safely. Feeling better, but still not 100%.

PSS: If you are wanting to donate a tent please e-mail us to arrange for pick up or drop off. cpeterson2@stny.rr.com

Hello again. Well we have been home for 1 week and still miss Haiti. We had the opportunity to do a follow up interview with WETM news this afternoon. We really felt very inadequate trying to explain the situation and the people there. Hopefully God can use it to get the word out even thru our inadequacies. We also did a follow up interview on FLN yesterday. They have been great about keeping us and the entire team in prayer and keeping people updated.

The pictures today are of one of the tent villages. The top picture was taken on Monday and the bottom picture was taken on Thursday. You can see how much it grew in 4 days. We have seen follow up pictures that it show it even larger. As you can see they really aren't tents but whatever material they can scrape together to use as cover. It is the reason that we are trying to come up with tents to send down. Many people don't even have anything to use as a tent. To our camping friends out there just imagine living rustic for more than a weekend and without the thought of a hot shower to go home to. There are no toilets, no outhouses, nor running water. No playground and definetly no swimming pool yet. Unfortunately this tent city is in the flood plain and could very well be under water during the rainy season. So SEND THOSE TENTS PLEASE.

We have not heard for sure but E'Tienne should have had a flight home today. Also we recieved an e-mail from the team there currently that someone had reported that the NVM people were starving and not getting enough to eat. We want to assure everyone that the teams are being well cared for by Pastor Pierre and his staff. His primary focus is always the health and well being of those who are coming to help. The food is not fancy nor maybe the portions that we would eat here in the states but it is very tasty and more than sufficient. Could be that manyAmericans are over weight. HMMMMM.

We have several speaking engagements coming up in the next couple of weeks. As the dates firm up we will list them here. Please pray that we are able to communicate accurately what we have seen and what God is doing and will continue to do in Haiti. We are currently trying to learn a few Creole words a day.

Mesi (Thank you )

Tim and Cindy.

This is a picture of the house behind Pastor Pierre's house. It is basically reduced to a pile of rubble with a broken roof over it. It's former occupants now live in their yard under a tarp. You see sights like this all over the area around PAP. The cause of collapse other than the earthquake?? Poor quality building materials and poor construction techniques. The people buy what they can afford, and build with the techniques they know.

There are no building codes or inspections that we know of.

What an opportunity to teach quality construction methods!! Although the people will still not be able to afford quality products.

It makes me think of how we live our lives. Are we living for the Lord, solidly built on His foundations as quality believers? Or do we scrimp on the quality, building to our own specifications??

I long to be able to do more for the Haitian people. I believe that rebuilding Haiti needs to include a lot of education, and Pastor Pierre's model is a perfect example of how to meet the people where they are. Meet the physical needs, then work on their spiritual needs, and then send them out to their own people to continue the process.

In regards to the tents and supplies we are collecting you can reach us here or send us an email. cpeterson2@stny.rr.com Thanks again for following along.

Also Tim talked with E'Tienne this evening. She is in Atlanta and hopes to fly home tomorrow. She is feeling better but is still weak and tired. Please continue to pray for her.

Tim and Cindy

This is a photo of a one day old baby girl who was brought to the clinic to be seen by the doctors. She was born with severely clubbed feet, which if left untreated would cause her to be

disabled later in life. We were all happy to see her brought in at this time as it is relatively easy to correct the clubbing with casts at this stage of life. As the photo shows one of our pediatricians casted her feet that same day. She slept through most of the procedure. She was brought back for a cast change the last day we were there. There was already significant improvement in the positioning of her feet! Today we got an update from Haiti that her mom brought her back yesterday for another cast change, and the improvement is even better. She was recasted in the next position by another doctor and will return again in a week for another check. God's timing is so good!! This little one will most likely be able to walk as a result of the prompt attention she got for her birth problem. I can't wait to see how she does later on.

On a sadder note, the same update mentioned a woman who came in stating she was 5 YEARS pregnant. The doctors could feel what they thought was an infant head, so they did a pregnancy test which was negative. A portable ultrasound was delivered when we were in Haiti, so they used that to see if they could find a fetal heartbeat or get a picture. Nothing showed there either. So now they are thinking that the woman had a miscarriage 5 years ago, but didn't pass the fetus and it calcified in her uterus, or that she has a large tumor. Either way they were unable to help her at the clinic and will have to refer her to a hospital for further treatment.

We received word from Nehemiah Vision Ministries that they are collecting new and gently used tents to send to Haiti. There are so many makeshift shelters in Haiti, and the rainy season is rapidly approaching. If you want to contribute to this collection, contact us. If we get a significant amount of tents collected in this area, Tim and I will be sure to get them transported to Indiana to go on the next container shipment. We are also, on our own collecting new or gently used socks, underwear, T-shirts and summerweight children's clothing, toothpaste, children's and infants vitamins (bulk packs are great, they divide them up there!).

We are not locked in yet, but we are looking at and praying about a return trip in May. We were asked just today if we would go back then. We are willing if that is what God wants us to do. We will also be happy just staying home and advocating for NVM and our newfound Hatian family.

Thanks for all of your continued prayers and support. We are blessed by your blessings!! We think we may need to study Kreyole seriously!!

In His grip!

Tim and Cindy

PS Please keep E'Tienne and 2 others in your prayers tomorrow as they will be flying to the DR and then on to Atlanta to connect to their home flights. Thanks!

In this picture with Tim is our new son Moreau. As usual Tim abbreviated his name the first day to Mo. After that he told everyone that his name was Mo. Mo was a Sr. in college at the time of the earthquake. He would have graduated in May with a degree in linguistics. However the college was destroyed along with all of his records. Mo speaks 4 different languages and all of them very fluently. He gave us a book to help us learn Kreyole before we left.

Mo was traveling in a car in Port Au Prince when the earthquake occured. A large building came down on the car and killed his friends that were in the car with him. He believes that God saved him for a special purpose and we would have to agree. Mo has no place to live and is living on the streets and seeking shelter where ever he can. He is buying food with the money that he is making as a translator. Please pray for Mo as he would like to come to the states and finish his studies. Also that he might be kept safe and find a place to live.

We are doing ok. Still trying to adjust. Our lives here seem so trivial compared to the things that we have experienced and seen in Haiti. Please continue to pray as we adjust and seek God's leading.

Tim and Cindy

It is Tuesday and we have been home for 3 days and are back to work. We are still trying to put everything into perspective. We know that this trip has changed our lives. The whole experience is something we are still trying to put words to. We are finding that others in our group are experiencing some of the same feelings. We are happy to be home with our family but have a deep desire to be back in Haiti. The need there physically, emotionally and spiritually is beyond description. We have tried to come up with a way to describe it for people but are unable to.

We know that the Lord would still have us be involved with Haiti but we are unsure of what capacity that is. We are going to work on putting some totes together of needed supplies that can be sent down on the next container that Nehemiah Visison Ministries sends. We are also praying daily for our new friends and family in Haiti and asking the Lord to show us what He would have us do.

Thank you to all of you for following along and supporting us in this journey. We have been humbled by your support in so many different ways. We hope to do a presentation at our church in the next couple of weeks and will make sure we post it on here. We intend to continue to post every couple of days to let you know what we are doing and what new plans there may be. We will also start putting up some pictures. Although we have pictures of the destruction we will probably be posting pictures of the children because that truly is the future and the reconstruction of Haiti. We will try to include a story with the picture so that you get and idea of what we did in Haiti.

Today's picture is the outside of the childrens home in Chambrun. The children's home houses 8 children at this time. 4 boys and 4 girls. The need for separate homes for the children is approaching as they are getting older and they expect to have more children shortly. Keep in mind as we go that most of this work has been done in less than 4 years. God is working in a powerful way.

Tim and Cindy.

Continue to pray for E'Tienne as she is still there and will be making her way home this weekend.

HOME!!!!!! We are happy to be home but missing Haiti. We are very tired and are headed to bed. We know that you are all anxious for more details. We need a day to rest and try and put into words what we have seen and experienced and where it all goes from here. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.

A very tired but happy Tim and Cindy

So it looks like this is our last post from Haiti. We hope to fly from here to the Dominican Republic sometime tomorrow and then make our way home over the weekend.

Today was the last day in the clinic. I had to call the helicopter in to fly a lady out who needed leg amputation. They were actually talking of doing it in the clinic in order to save her life but we were afraid she would not survive without follow up and we were short some of the tools we needed. It would have been like operating in a MASH set up but in alot worse conditions. It was a challenge to get the helicopter and it made me appreciate the red phone at the hospital that we just pick up and they come.

This afternoon we went into downtown Port Au Prince. I can't even begin to describe the destruction. Just take what you have seen on TV and multiply it farther than you can imagine. Where they will even begin to clean up yet alone start over is difficult to figure. The number of buried dead and unaccounted for has to be in thousands. The thing that struck me was the pride that the Haitian people that we had with us still had in their country. They have lost all but still have a hope and a determination to rebuild. We are not talking a few days or years to rebuild but probably decades. There is no place to even clear the rubble let alone to rebuild.

While sitting on the roof tonight enjoying the quiet we could hear a man give a very deep and long belly laugh. In the midst of living in absolute destruction he could still laugh.

Our verse for this trip was Isaiah 40:31 " he will lift you up as on eagle wings" We have really needed that this trip and especially today. We are both tired and a little down today but we know that we have been here to do the work that God called us to do.

If we don't post tomorrow we will make sure we do when we get home. We know that you all have many questions but I think it will take us sometime to process to all of

9ood evening all!

We had a very hot and steamy day today. Not sure what the temps got up to, just know it's HOT! We worked at the clinic again today. We are seeing a lot of the same stuff as before. Also see a lot of kids with intestinal paracites, ringworm, scabies, etc. A lot of malnutrition, some chronic and some as a result of the earthquake. Many of the children have respiratory infections. Adults have many of the same complaints, along
with complaints specific to adults. The mobile bus saw more of the same, along with a coupleof fractures which they casted.

We had one case today of a little boy who had his finger crushed in a water pump last Friday. He was brought in by his mom today. We have a trauma orthopedic surgeon on the team with us, and he operated on the boys finger at the clinic this afternoon. The boy had to have the end of his finger amputated under local anesthetic. He was VERY brave and didn't cry until Cindy had to give him a shot of antibiotic in his little tushy when we were all done! He will come back next week to see the next team's doctor for a recheck and a dressing change.

We have had a lot of new people coming in to stay at Pastor Pierre's home. We are crowded, but all are getting along well. Everyone here sees the vision and is doing all that they can to make it move forward. One of the nurses that comes here regularly had a vision of building a hospital in Chambrun area under Nehemiah Vision. They found out this week that there is a person/persons who are going to fund that project in the next year. These people really need that out there. There is so much that goes untreated for lack of facilities.

The Hatian food that we have had is awesome!! Very flavorful, and not to spicy. And no curry, which makes Tim very happy. We did get a change from beans and rice tonight... we had spaghetti!! We eat PB&J on tortillas or crackers for lunch most days so far. We are getting a variety for breakfast. Today was hard boiled eggs and bananas and oranges.

The recovery of Haiti is now beyond the trauma stage and it's now in rebuilding stage and survival mode as they work to recover. Please pray for healing of the people and their country.

We are tired, but it's a good tired. We are not doing really exciting work for the most part, but work that will have long term rewards as people find out about Nehemiah Vision Ministries and what they are doing for the people of Haiti.

Blessings to you all,
Tim and Cindy

Bon Jour!
Sorry to miss posting last night. The internet was in and out, we are sharing computers, and when it finally came back up Tim and I had already retired for the night. We all are well, although Tim is getting a sinus infection from all the dust. Please pray about that today.

We are serving a lot of people. At this time we are not seeing much "exciting" stuff medically, but the ongoing ailments of a country in shock. Pray for the people of Haiti. They are all afraid, anxious, and in need of comfort. Pray the comfort of God for those who belive already, and for the salvation of those who do not. This is a country rebuilding from the bottom up, and this is a perfect time for God to work here.

Have to leave for the clinic now. Will try to post more detailed info later.

God's Blessings on you all,
Tim, Cindy and E"tienne

Hi, an extremely busy day. Cindy did triage all day and Tim spent the day organizing and just trying to keep things moving. E'Tienne spent the day assisting the Dr.s in the treatment rooms. The extra team we had today is leaving but we gained another 8 today. We are finding that God has a different plan for us than what we thought. Someone said today that if you want to make God laugh tell him what you think his plan is. We are learning to be FAT. Flexibel, Available and Trainable. There is so much we could tell you about Chambrun and the children and people there but we both are still trying to digest all of it.

As we travelled out today we saw extremely long food lines and alot more military presence. We are safe. We did have one team at the clinic today and another out in the field. We will probably be staying at the clinic as we feel like that is where God is really drawing us. I feel like I could go on for several pages but we really need to get some supper.l

Thank you all so much. We feel like you are all here with us. If our kids are on we will try and facebook around 8.

Love all of you,
Tim; Cindy, and E'Tienne


PS. Kimi I think I know how you feel about India.
