Well, you can figure out the sequence since I'm not very good at it yet. Ashley Dorce who is eight was baptized into Christ in January while Grandma Jan and Grandpa Fred were here. It was a sweet experience for her to be baptized in the ocean by her dad, Wilckly Dorce. We just wanted to share it with you all and ask you to be praying for the Lord to really do a precious work for Him with her life.
I want to remind all of you once again that we have the world's largest baptistry.
This was an excellent start to an excellent year, 2008. How could it be anything but that if you are living it for the Lord? We want to encourage you to come and visit us. I can tell you that as a missionary on the field for 15 years in a country as hard as Haiti, this past two and a half months have been rich in spiritual blessings and fellowship. We have been blessed to receive three different groups of people. Fred and Jan came to us from Moberly, MO bringing a group of nine people.
We hauled them around in our old blue dump truck which is ever so faithful. No more excuses for those of you who think you are too old to go on a mission trip. Fred Green turned eighty when he went back home. He is still going strong and put all of us to shame getting in and out of the truck. May God continue to bless him with good health. Granpa Fred and Wilckly led a seminar right under the mango tree. Many were blessed as we had about forty people representing our different churches that were present at the seminar. They spent the night and we shared several meals with all of them. It was a blessing and a pleasure for me to translate for Mdme Fred as we were able to share with the ladies. Thanks grandma Jan.
We are truly inspired by this couple. They put their all into serving the Lord. We celebrate knowing them and we send all our love and appreciation to them. You've blessed so many and we thank you for your example and love for the Lord and your desire to share it with everyone, even those in Haiti. I'll close for now so I don't lose my electricity. More tomorrow. Mdme Kiki

It's so encouraging to me to see wiser, more mature Christians serve and press forward to glorify God so selflessly! Thank you for your hearts and your dedication! Way to go Ashley!
