Wonderful Week with Mom and Esther

My mom and sister, Esther arrived last Wednesday and spent an amazing week in Haiti.  We were able to spend a lot of girl time together and the kids loved having Grandma and Aunt Esther here.

 We introduced Esther is real oranges straight off the tree.

On Friday morning we went up to Atrel.  It was a fun ride and there were a few muddy sections.  On Saturday we had to transport a very sick deacon from the Atrel church to the nearest hospital about 2 1/2 hours away.  We found a lot more mud on that trip.

 Yes this is the "road"

 We tried the technique of keeping one wheel on the solid ground and one in the mud.  We were really leaning!

 Mom helped hem a couple pairs of Kyrk's pants.  Thanks mom!

Big thank you to Mom and Esther for coming to visit.  It is always such a huge encouragement to have family come and visit.  It was hard to say good bye to them today, but we are so thankful that they were able to spend the past week with us.
