The Detroit Zoo through the eyes of an eight year old haitian child is an awesome sight.
We saw Lions, and Tigers and Bears.....(oh my) and then some. We got to play prairie dog and pop up in the tunnel. Watching a baby polar bear swin over the top of you is very exciting and cute. We were thrilled to see him jump in and swim but even more so when we watched him from under the water.
Gorillas eating snow was very funny. The Mama and baby zebra were adorable, frisky and playful. The giraffes were huge (and stinky) and beautiful. The Kangaroos were very lazy, resting on their sides in the sun. The Rhinos were active enough to be interesting. The butterflies were plentiful, but wouldn't come and sit on your hand.
A canan is a canadian goose. We saw a bunch of those. They apparently have those in haiti.
We got lost coming home. Our two hour trip took 3 1/2 hours. Lots of beautiful lakes in Michigan. Most of them were still frozen over. Still the day was sunny and the roads were clear.
We finished the evening with a Selah concert. Beautiful music. Although very tired, she did well.
We are down to less than three weeks until our return to haiti. Johane is very excited about returning home. She is less excited about ME returning to the US after returning her home.
We are starting to pack things up and do our "last things". That is why we went to the zoo on Saturday. It was a now or never time. I am so glad we did. What a special memory for this special lady.
We got to call Haiti and talk with the family on Sunday. Johane was talking with papa, mama, Johana and family. She kept forgetting and speaking english to them. Each time she did I laughed and repeated what she said... then she caught herself and corrected her own usage of english. It was so funny.
Keep us in your prayers as we play out the last chapters of this God story. God is still in control and we're enjoying the ride. God bless. Cynthia and Johane

Easter In Michigan
I'm not sure what she thought. Good Friday was a little bit of a shock to her at times.
Mr. Bill (her buddy) was dressed as a Roman soldier. He and another man took Jesus and whipped him at church. She wasn't sure what to think. We talked about Mr. Bill being an actor that day. There aren't a lot of words about Easter in the creole book. Johane couldn't tell me much about the celebration of good friday and Easter in Haiti.
She loved dressing up for Easter morning. White gloves, socks, tights, shoes ,slip, dress, purse, and headband. Everyone thought that she was beautiful. AND she was. She enjoyed Easter breakfast, sunday school and church. She liked her easter basket, but didn't "get" what that was all about. Still every child understands candy and presents....so she did fine.
She had never colored eggs before. Eggs in haiti are maroon (brown) so you don't need to color them, so these white ones in egg dye were pretty funny to her. She was amazed when we cracked a couple open later. Her question was, "you eat these?" ( Ou mange La?) Yes you eat them. That was pretty cool so she ate a few. But the look on her face when we cracked them open...was priceless. I don't know what she expected, but a hard boiled egg wasn't it. She started laughing and had to crack one herself just to see.
She's getting a bit homesick now. We talk about family a lot. She is counting the days down. It's the time for last things to be planned and carried out. Only about 3 weeks left and she will be back in Haiti. Hard to believe it has gone by this fast.
She saw some Deer out walking last night and told Dennis we have those in haiti. We were surprised but OK...until we looked up the word in the creole book. There is no word for deer. The word she used to describe what she was seeing... and that they had in haiti...was goat. I decided that I didn't really need to explain.
So if I show her the movie Bambi....is Bambi a goat? Baaaad thought.
Happy Easter, Cynthia and Johane

Untapped Talent
Johane has an untapped talent. She loves to cook. She grilled hamburgers on the grill with Papa Dennis last week. She was so excited because we were going to make cookies again tonight. She has oatmeal cookies with raisins down pat. And she is so proud of herself when they are all done.
She is getting a little homesick. She had to look through the visualize haiti book again today. We had to read the Tap-tap book about Sasifi in haiti. We also had to pull out all the haiti pictures so she could point out all the people she knows. She told me about her family. One set of twins is a boy-girl set.
She showed Papa Dennis on the calendar that one month from tomorrow she goes back to Haiti.....then waved at him and said bye-bye Papa. I wonder who will be crying that morning?
Her contact is doing well and her skills are improving daily. Her eye is also handling it well. We got the final report from Anderson Eye, they found a detached retina on the Ultrasound scan as well as the scarring and the cataract. The return of vision with all this would be too unlikely to consider repair, and the risk to the other eye too high.
As we look forward to Holy Week we sing along with Johane..."Open the eyes of my heart Lord....I want to see YOU." God Bless,

Palm Sunday
Johane is in bed asleep. She was completely exhausted by a very full weekend. She watched a movie on Friday. Saturday she was up and out very early for a full day of special olympics basketball tournaments. Crafts, dancing, exercise and running around bullock creek school kept her wired and sweaty.
She barely rallied for Church at 9:30 on Sunday but managed to wave her palm branches with the best of them. After church she walked a little. We spent the afternoon watching TV and doing quiet activities. She grilled hamburgers with Papa Dennis for Dinner. She didn't eat all that much. Too tired I suspect. She talked to her papa in Haiti for a few minutes. She seemed to need a little cuddling tonight. After watching Schreck II we threw her in the tub, washed her up and she was out like a light.
Her understanding of english is sky-rocketing. Her speach is also taking off. If she doesn't get it she says "I don't know". So you know she is trying and not just letting it pass.
We get to see Dr. Houser this week. Johane's contact skills are improving daily. I am very proud of her. I only cheated once. She was too tired and failed 5 times in a row.....kept saying "almost", "almost" I couldn't take it any more. I popped it in for her. She was getting too frustrated.
Easter is only a week away. She returns to haiti in 4 weeks. That time will go by fast.
Thank-you for your continued prayers. They are a blessing to us.
Blessed Holy Week!

Busy Day
We had a busy day at the Sears photography department. This little lady has more poses than Elvis has moves.
She was thrilled with all the photos...but "complained" about sit up, lay down, roll over, stand up, sit here. At least thats the gist of her complaint.
We met with Sister Anne and the crew at Covenant. Johane had a great time. She certainly enjoyed the attention and goodies. This is the first time that she got "full" with treats.
We spent a few hours at Bronners in Frankenmuth. This was a visual delight for her. More pas touche (don't touch) than I would like, but everything was just too exciting. She got a picture taken with the Easter Bunny. She wanted to climb into all the displays. She used her little "kodak" (camera) to snap a few pictures of her own. She chose a few things to bring home including a small musical santa that plays on and on and on.
She got three pictures of the quiche I made for dinner. Ought to be an awesome photo albulm (tee-hee).
She is getting very comfortable with us now and we've had to correct some behaviors, such as snapping your fingers for something instead of saying "please pass the butter" and faking a temper tantrum when you aren't getting your way. She's catching on pretty fast tho, although she did threaten that she'd go and play with Deb since I wouldn't stop making dinner and go play basketball.
She found where I hid the remotes...again. Her english is sky-rocketing this week. Its amazing how she slips in an english phrase when you least expect it.
Her contact skills are improving daily. She does it mostly all herself now.
Keep us in your prayers. We still need them.
Things are pretty intense because she isn't afraid to challenge the rules anymore. Prayers for an extra measure of patience for both of us would be greatly appreciated.God Bless your week,

More of Johane's Journey
Johane got to talk with her family today. It was a lot of... we...bien...we...bon..followed by CONTACT..., some explaination and again....we..... contact.
How does an eight year old explain a contact to her parents an ocean away?
I can't even begin to imagine.
She is very happy with it. She managed putting it in all by herself today and came upstairs to show off what she had accomplished. she showed it off to everyone atchurch today. When I told her that I was going to take her for some pictures tomorrow, she made a modeling move and posed for me. She definately gets the idea. She wants deux (two) photos so her mother can have one.
We are starting to think about what kind of things to send back with her. Her birthday is April 25th. She tells me that at least once or twice a day. She is very excited about that. I showed her some gifts I had for her and Johanna, her twin. She reassigned the gifts to other siblings. She is very good at sharing.
She enjoyed swimming with Deb on Saturday again. NO FEAR...no skill either. So the little lady has to be watched carefully.
Her family is disappointed that she isn't having the surgery. They were also hoping for a miracle. Weren't we all?
I can't wait until they see her with her contact in. This little lady feels good about herself. Isn't that enough of a miracle for us? She looks towards the camera, not away, she poses and cheese-cakes for the photographer. That is all new. We have the miracle God intended all along.
"My ways are higher than your ways"., says The Lord.
Thank you Lord for knowing what was needed and supplying that need. Forgive us our selfish disappointments and wishes. Give us a heart like your heart and Let us rejoice in your gifts. In Jesus's name. Amen

Brown-Eyed Girl
I'm trying not to cry (again) as I write this. My little haitian princess is sleeping the blissful sleep of a happy child while tears are rolling down my face. We finally heard the final decision from the specialists...Johane is NOT a surgical candidate. The risk--benefit ratio is not favorable for any surgery. Her sight will not be restored by conventional methods. She will be returned to haiti with her blind eye and no improvement in her vision. There are very good reasons for this, but that doesn't stop the hurt. The desire of my heart was to see the miracle of sight for this little girl. That will not be happening in the way I had hoped. So I cry tears of grief tonight for a lost dream. The problem is mine.
Don't be misled...I love and trust God just as much as before AND I wouldn't trade away this journey for anything! I am very aware that the journey isn't over, we've just gone down a slope and are making a slow incline up another hill. (Roller coaster analogy) The next hill will probably be a doozie.
As you may have noticed, Johane is sleeping very well tonight. Her dream has been fullfilled. She had TWO brown eyes tonight for 4 full hours. She has a picture of herself with two brown eyes, taken at Dr. Housers office. She diligently practiced with another contact until she could put it in and take it out all by herself. NO small feat for an 8 year old with NO depth perception. She had to do this multiple times and was just getting frustrated past endurance, when she succeeded for the 3rd time. NOW lets use the brown (maroon) one. She quivered with excitement, bit her lip and carefully practiced the skill she had been working on. SUCCESS !
The MIRROR! Garde! Garde! (Look! Look!) Her smile lit up the room. They took her picture and showed it to her on the computer. Then put the before and after side by side. NO! LA! (No , not that one...the new one!) Preeety (pretty), Mwen. (Me)
She wore it for the full 4 hours. She is so happy. She knows she is returning to her family in haiti on April 19th. She will be traveling with people that she loves and trusts. She will be there for her 9th birthday (with her twin). AND SHE IS HAPPY.
God fullfilled the wishes and dreams of an 8 year old Haitian child without surgery. He has touched hearts all across the country with the story of a little half blind little girl. He has increased the awareness of the needs of His children in Haiti. He has taught us all about dirt cookies. He may have purposes for this little lady's visit that I haven't even dreamed of. And He has blessed my home and life with an 8 year olds example of sharing all that you have.
GOD IS GOOD...ALL THE TIME. So why was I crying?
Tears of Joy maybe to be blessed enough to share in the adventure of a lifetime. Her smile and the twinkle in her eye, the loving care of her brown contact was enough to dry any tears. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Make sure you're buckled up tight...the next hill ought to be a fun one.

sharing - another kleenex alert!
Johane is an incredible child. It amazes me that even though she is getting gifts from multiple sources, she is still thinking about her siblings. She got a couple of pairs of flip-flops and sandles. They were a size or two too small. She tried them on, and said "pou Johanna" for two pair,and "pou Chrislove" for another. Chrislove is another little sister. She does the same thing with all of her clothing. My neice sent some lovely shirts, and coloring books. She went through them and made two equal piles. En (one) for mwen (me) and en pou Johanna (one for Johanna-her twin sister). She never hesitates to do this. All of the clothing was her size, but she was sorting them out for both.
Praise God for the heart of this little one.
On my coffee table is a book called Visualize Haiti by Alecia Settle @2007
ISBN: 978-0-9797143-0-6 ISBN:0-9797143-0-3
Its an amazing book about haiti, its people, places, wonders and successes.
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to begin to understand WHY haiti can touch your heart so completely.
On page 66-67 is a picture of a woman making dirt pies. They are made from salt, contaminated water, flour and parasite infected dirt. They are baked in the sun until they form a cookie. They are then sold to the poorest of the poor. The people who eat them, get very little nutrition and an added dose of worm eggs.
When Johane saw them she nodded and said manje la. (You eat these) I asked her if she had ever eaten these, she made a yucky face and said no. Then proceeded to tell me the names of several people who do eat these, some whom she knows quite well.
The caption at the bottom of the page says "Every Hour one Haitian child dies of starvation"
It was explained to the author of the picture that the reason people eat these are so
"they won't die hungry".
Johane finds this book fascinating. It speaks to her heart and soul and I believe is at the root of her generous spirit. How can you hoard things to yourself when your neighbor, sister, cousin or aunt is hungry.
The man asked Jesus,"and who is my neighbor?" The answer was basically...the one who needs us. I see the spirit of Jesus in the generousity of an 8 year old Haitian face.
If you want to know concrete ways for you to help some of these children consider the following blogs:
www.threeangelshaiti.blogspot.com
www.threeangelshaiti.org
Through this group you could sponsor a childs schooling, provide milk for an orphan, medical care for a child,a family or whatever God is leading you to do.
TACA or three angels christian academy is a school, Halos is the medical clinic where I first met Johane, three angels children relief is an orphanage for orphans and children whose parent give them up to provide a better life for them. (so their children don't have to eat dirt cookies until they die) Some of these children were found in dumpsters, some living on the street, some with lash scars on their backs, many at under two years of age.
Who Is your neighbor? You alone can answer that my friend. I already have.
God bless your week.

Worship in the Waiting
We've been awaiting the call back from Anderson eye to find out if they will attempt the cataract and corneal replacement surgery. I haven't heard anything back yet. They had said thursday or Friday so I will call on Monday.
We praise God for all that He has done, for all that He will do. We will worship and praise Him in the Waiting.
Johane got to spend the night with her Gran Deb. She is having a great time. The little moppet had no problem packing her valise (suitcase) saying goodby and waving me off.
I had no problem going to bed before 9 pm and sleeping all night, knowing that she was being lovingly cared for.
Johane is an amazing child. She is so adaptable, loving, open and interested in everything. She occassionally picks up the phone to call home but when she gets the error message she is philosophical about it. She seems to be content knowing that she will be able to talk to mama and papa every saturday.
We are truly blessed within this adventure. What a ride!
