our new 'daughter'?...

well, we've been waiting anxiously to hear from the zachary's (missionary family we're very good friends with that live/work in cazale, haiti), who we're going to be sponsoring to send to school... they've had the huge task of matching sponsors to children over the past several weeks & we were notified this afternoon of our new 'daughter'!!...

her name's mirlande (pronounced 'meer lon') & she's 13y old... her bfather's not around at the present & her bmother's passed away... she's the 'motherly' figure in the home where she & her 2 siblings live (brother 18y & sister 6y)... she'll now be able to attend school & we'll be able to send her things... we'll also be able to meet her, spend time with her & take her things during all our trips to haiti... we're all so excited & can't wait to see what god's arranged through this... here's a picture of her, isn't she beautiful!?!?!?!... please pray with us, for her that she enjoys this 'relationship' as much as we do!!
