From the Outhouse to the Big House!

Yes! This is Moses, growing up! He is now in 9th grade. He is on the “short and stalky” side, while the other boys are “as tall as a coconut tree!” He is now 16! Moses said his favorite subject is French!! He loves soccer and he loves to sing!

He really wants to be a mechanic (well, we can always use another mechanic). It was 16 years ago that we got that call from Nelio, who is our administrator here in Haiti. He said the children’s hospital asked us to pick up a baby “who had been dropped into an outhouse” by his birth mother. She had gone to an outhouse to drop him in as she gave birth. An old man had heard his cry and tied a rope around his waist to go down in that filthy-smelling “cesspool.” He got a bucket and brought Moses up in a bucket, covered with feces!

God may have a bigger plan for him than “being a mechanic!” Let’s see what happens in Moses’ life!! By the way, his Haitian brothers and sisters call him, “bout ton ton” (Short Uncle!) Moses is a Miracle!
