THE PASSPORT

Well several of you know that we are leaving on Tuesday for Haiti. Tom's passport has not arrived nor will the one he applied for. VERY frustrating! He has decided that it is now a quest to get this thing. After many 30min hold sessions with the passport agency, and not much help, he is heading to Chicago on Monday morning to a different agency that can do them the same day. We had a serious hunt for another copy of his birthcertificate and found one we didnt even know we had! Yesterday we really thought he wasnt comming but after finding this copy we are hopeful that his appointment will work out on Monday and we will be heading out early Tuesday morning as planned. Thanks for your prayers. I will send an update as soon as I can when WE get there.

BIRTHDAY BOY

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY THOMAS OTTO!!!!!

Good bye Vitamin

Well I have been trying my hand at journeling lately. Never done it before. Read a scripture write what I think God is trying to tell me or something about God the scripture says. Keep a prayer request/praise log. Wont be doing the Daily Vitamin for a while. Well see how it goes.

Witlene

Witlene spent the night with us again last night and I took her to the airport today. She is traveling back to Atlanta to spend the month with family. She will come back to Ft.Wayne next month for an MRI and check on her meds with the Endocrinologist.
We are also working on two other children that will hopefully come to Indy soon for surgery. Paperwork is a nightmare sometimes!
Tom and I are getting prepared for our trip to Haiti soon. We are very excited. Jer and Nick are doing great at school!

Visitor

We had a Haitian visitor at our house Wednesday night. Her name is Witlene and she is one of our Hands that Heal patients in the U.S. receiving care. Rebecca was at the Ft.Wayne airport to pic her up (she had been staying in Atlanta with family for a short time waiting for meds to work on her tumor) she was seeing a specialist in Ft.Wayne that week. Well she didnt show up. Come to find out she was in Indy instead of Ft.Wayne. (We let her book her own flight). Rebecca called me so I went to the airport and picked her up and she spent the night with us. The kids thought it was great. Nick spoke to her in english all night long, he didnt care that she didnt understand. She just smile and nodded at him. He was not bashful at all which surprised me. Jeremy acted shy. Just when I was thinking my Creole was terrible, I couldnt speak to her all night, I met Rebecca and the three of us had lunch. I could understand everything they were saying in Creole! I was so happy. I just cant produce the words to put together yet but I can understand most of it.
She is in Ft.Wayne with Rebecca now (Rebecca is the founder of Hands That Heal). Her tumor is shrinking with meds only, her prolactin levels are normalizing too. We thought she was going to have to have the pituitary tumor removed when she arrived. She was praising God for her healing yesterday.
