On Tuesday we got a truck load of shoes, and clothes. Kyrk decided to model some of the contents of this truck load. I think this is some of the craziest things we have received. :)

Recent donations
Every since the earthquake we have been receiving many donations of various clothes, food and other items. Most of these items have been very helpful and many people have been blessed by the donations.

Crocodile Adventures
One of the ministries that we have here at Baptist Haiti Mission is to offer the community a safe place to come, relax, enjoy our yard, playground and zoo. There are 2 main attractions in our zoo, a monkey and a crocodile.
Sadly in November our crocodile died. Since so many people have enjoyed visiting the zoo and seeing a crocodile we knew we had to try to replace him.
Last week, we were blessed with a new crocodile and it came at the perfect time since Kyrk had finished having the cage repaired and repainted.
After doing some research we discovered that crocodiles do best when the water temperature is between 68F and 95F. So we went to work trying to create a way to warm up the water in his cage since the water was in the low 60s.
Jonathan has loved working with his Dad helping with this project and as of lunch today the water should be getting warmer for the crocodile.
