updated pictures

Here are a few updated pictures of your kids. They sure grow quickly.
We are looking forward to seeing many of you soon. We will be in Forest from Oct. 20 - Nov. 7 and in Michigan from Nov. 23 - Dec. 12.

New Version Released

THAT'S RIGHT the newest version is now OUT!!!
We rejoice at the Production and DesignTeam's miraculous work which allowed for an earlier than expected release. GOD really is wonderful. After a visit to the Delivery Facilitator on Monday we were told that Release would be possibly the end of the week.
Rebekah Patricia Baker was born on June 20 at 3:13 am weighing 6 lbs 9 oz and 18 inches long. She was born at home and everything went very well. Thankfully we had planned to have this one at home since the labor went so quickly that we probably would not have made it to the hospital in time. We had arranged for a midwife to come from Northern Haiti and delivery the baby. She arrived on the 16th so the baby waited long enough for her to be here.

Naomi and Jonathan are really enjoying their new little sister. They both love to hold her and try to be helpers in their own special way. Thankfully Grandma Baker and Aunt Kelli are helping take care of them so that Rebekah and Mommy can rest.

Update at Last

I thought that I would try and figure out how to add a new post to this blog since it has been a long time since our last update.
Kyrk has been very busy recently so finding time to update this blog has not been easy.
Hopefully now that I think I have figured this out, it will be updated a little more often.
Since the last update the clinic building has really started to take shape. The shell is almost complete and now the tedious interior projects will soon have to start like laying tile, putting in a celing, windows etc. It really is going to be a nice facility when it is finished. We thank God that during construction there have been no serious injuries.

Some of you may not be aware, but my mom FINALLY came to Haiti to visit in the middle on April. It was so wonderful to have her here and for her to finally see where we live and what Haiti is really like. We are praying that next time Dad will come with her also.

The first weekend in May Kyrk and I along with Chris and Kelli were able to take a trip up to the northwest of Haiti. During this 4 day trip we visited 15 churches and schools. It was a relaxing time. We were able to stay with some missionary friends and have an enjoyable little break. Thanks to Grandma Baker and Grandma Lieb for watching our children.

The next big news will be the release of Baker version 3.0. Release date is scheduled for June 30th, but hoping that development allowes for an earlier than expected release. Version 3.0 is planning to be first launched in a domestic environment with the assistance of well trained humanoid transfer enginer.The Transfer enginer will arive on site the 16th of June stay here until the development process is complete. She is a missionary in the northern part of Haiti and has agreed to come and help with the launch of our newest installment. Grandma Baker is going to be assisting her, so I will be in good hands.

Clinic under Construction

Well I guess it is about time for an update. I know that it has been a long time but I have no excuse that sounded good enough to use so I'll just say I am sorry for the delay.

The Clinic destruction and re-construction is well under way and has kept Kyrk very busy. We are also going to start on the new cistern for the Conference center. That means two construction teams going here at the same time. Please Pray for safety of the workers as these projects are in progress.

Election Day

This morning at about 3:30 am people began to gather here at the high school in Fermathe to vote. The polling place would open at about 7:30 or 8:00 am. When I ventured to the street I was pleasently suprised to see how orderly things were and the incredible amount of patience the people had. I talked with a few friends that were in line and they seemed optimistic and hopeful. I returned at about 2:00 pm and found a good friend just leaving having finally voted! He started the day in line at 7:30 am. All in all it was very quiet here and we were able to get some much need work done during the still of the day. Praise God for the good day.

Fermathe school yard at 2:00 pm.
