Today, our Haitian children got into the Christmas tree decorations, turned up the Christmas music, and had a ball! They decorated a month early for Christmas!! Ha!

The reason they are so happy is that everyone will be together this year! Last year, four of our older college students and 16 of our employees were kidnapped two weeks before Christmas. It was a stressful time… After two weeks, they were released but it was an extremely stressful and sad time.

The children wanted to decorate “early!” There is a tree upstairs for the girls. Each girl has her name and picture on a Christmas decoration. The boys’ tree is downstairs. Each boy has his name on a Christmas card, also! There are lights all over the place! This is “one big happy family!”

“A merry heart doeth good, like a medicine!” (Proverbs 17:22)
