Once again, this is Madame Gesson Azeme. She is the lady who works with the Proverbs 31 class with Barb and me. She is, in many ways, the heart and soul of the class. Her son, Biken has just been diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anemia. Her whole family will now be tested as well to see if anyone else has it as well. Barb and I fear that Mme Gesson herself has it. Please be praying for this family. Fr Gesson, her husband, still has ocasional pain in the eye that was blinded by the mule last year. They are going through a rough time. Pray for wisdom for the doctors and strength for the family. Pray that they would remain strong in the Lord through all this. 
Carla, Rebecca, Rachel and Colin Wilson arrived on MFI at Pignon today lock, stock, one barrel and 2 cats! This is the family waiting under the wing of the MFI turbo DC-3. Barb, Jerry and I went to meet them with 2 trucks -- the 2 1/2 ton military transport truck and the Mitsubishi canter. The Wilson's household goods and a motorcycle and compressor for Jerry made a good load in both trucks.
Pray for the Wilsons now as they get settled into their home and into HAFF and Bohoc. And pray for the HAFF staff as we begin now to sort through all the tasks that need to be done and who will do each. We are excited about these new members of the full time HAFF staff. Pray that the Lord would make us one in mind and heart and vision and in love for the Haitian people.
There were happy dogs at HAFF today. TiBoots and Sophie were thrilled to have their mother, Barb Van Schoyck back in Bohoc. Greg was pretty happy too! As was I. Tomorrow the Wilsons join us and the HAFF staff will be complete.
It has been a busy 2 weeks and a bit since I last posted to the blog. Greg Van Schoyck arrived back at Bohoc Wednesday 11 October. 
Sophie and Ti Boots were very happy to see him. I was too. The next day we started a very intense week of working on teacher salaries and other school issues that needed to be worked out. We also started getting ready for the first group of visitors for the 2006 - 2007 team season. That team is gone now and I am ready to bring the blog up to date.
Wednesday and Thursday 11 and 12 October were the first 2 meetings of the Bon Jen Fanm class -- the Young Godly Woman class. Here are Dieula, Junie, Danise, Lumenia, Nannecie, Adna, Phara, Gladise in the back and Talita, Joanne Nancie, Judithe, and Ivika on the first day of class.
Monday 23 October, Dr Jeff Nelson from Elmhurst, Illinois and Lois Baker and Dr Eric Anderson of Monroe, Wisconsin arrived. Dr Eric has been to HAFF several times and was the leader of the team including Dr Jeff, his brother-in-law and Lois a retired physical therapist.
