About a month ago, I wrote about a group that came with a professional videographer to create a video NHHM can use to get the word out about what we are doing. I am pleased to let you know, that after many hours of editing, the final cut is now finished. Here is the Youtube link to it:

Hope you enjoy.

Fun Friday Night
Last night I made donuts. I have been thinking about it for a while, and finally decided to get on the internet and find out how to do it. I found a recipe, gathered together the necessary ingredients, and started making them.
I think they were a success. I've had better, but I am my own worst critic. Jennifer liked them, I think because they tasted good, but also because she didn't have to cook (although she did wash all of the dishes and clean up my mess). My kids loved them, and I took some downstairs to share with the staff. There weren't enough to take to all the kids downstairs...next time I'll plan ahead for that!
Here's a picture of our kids after breakfast today. You guessed it, leftover donuts. I think a couple of them went a little chocolate syrup crazy.
The best part of the whole donut making process was that it was some good family time. Our kids at one point were all standing at the table making their own little donuts, twisty-wistys (as they called them), and donut holes. It was one of the best family activities we have had in a long time!
If anyone has any donut recipes that they love, send them along. I'm going to keep trying different recipes until I find one that is phenomenal!
Until we fry again,

Sunday Church
This past Sunday, I had the honor of preaching at the First Christian Church of Balan (okay, the First part is just a joke, we're the Balan Christian Church). I preached on the Beatitudes, which will lead into a sermon series from the Sermon on the Mount because...Lionel, the Haitian pastor, asked me if I would like to start preaching every other week. I must have done at least a decent job, otherwise he would have said something like, "You said you went to Bible college?"
Actually, I was pretty amazed at how well it really went. Not only did my preaching go well, but we had a record 105 people there on Sunday. It was awesome! I'm looking into the cost of some new benches, so people can stop bringing their own chairs!
It was comforting to know that people were praying for me. I found out today that our church in Joplin prayed specifically for me on Sunday. Thanks FUMC!!
Next Sunday will be another great day at church. We're taking another trip to the lake, where three more people are going to be baptized! God is doing great things in Balan!
