So I'm trying my best to adjust to being a student again - although this time I do believe I am more focused because I know that I'm suppose to be here - but that doesn't mean I don't have hard days!
Wednesday are really jam packed days - we have classes then we go out on ministry teams into different areas of Atlanta- I am very blessed to have been assigned to my new neighborhood, Pittsburg Community, we go visit a nursing home each week then to an after school type program at some local apartments, then I come back to campus where I am the girl guard, songster and drama leader!!! It's great fun because I am getting to spend quality time with our kids here on campus but I also get to do some outside work within my own community!!!
God is bending me in new ways but He's also teaching me things!
More to come later!

Seminary
So today is my last Monday with my family - on Friday I move into Seminary with The Salvation Army!
So today Alexa and I went shopping to buy the rest of the stuff I needed for school - I think we have almost everything - I just have a few cleaning supplies that I want to buy then we're all good! I'm seriously hoping we get our own rooms because I don't really fit on a twin bed - I'm a bit too long - so I'm looking forward to being able to put the 2 twin beds together for a king - that way I can at least sleep sideways and fit!!!
Last Friday was my last day at Clayton State - I'm so glad to be done but am going to miss the friends that I made there and all the Admissions folk from all the other colleges and universities! My fall won't be the same - but I know I'll be super busy but roaming the state in a rental car moving from hotel to hotel city to city with a band of other recruiters - ahh that was so much fun for the last 3 years -

Camp
Well I'm writing tonight from the basement of the caretakers house at lovely Camp Grandview! It's been a very weird week for me - saying goodbyes to my admissions family, having Jayden at camp with me, preparing for surgery - weird just weird oh wait and I forgot to say having my car break down - luckily Grady was able to give me some guidence on where to take it so it's now fixed just in time to go sit in my yard for a week - I have to have my tonsils out and another sinus surgery on Monday 13th - I'm ready for it a bit nervous but it's just one last step to take before entering the training college.
well i have to get to bed gotta do breakfast in the morning all by myself for 300 people - oh the joys!

Haiti
Sunday, September 26, 2004
Alrighty, I know that this post is kinda long. However, it hits close to home and to my heart. Haiti was hit badly by floods from Jeanne. Some of the places that were hardest hit are places where I have been, lived for a while and streets that I have walked on. Most importantly, it has impacted my family, people that I adopted into my family whilst I was in Haiti. Please join me in your efforts to pray for these people and the rescue people who are there trying to help. Blessing and Peace be yours in aboundance!!!!

God’s Protection
On Saturday morning, 19 September 2004, Captains Lucien and Marie Lamartiniere drove to Gonaives. They were accompanying the new Candidate Marc Eddy who will lead the small Salvation Army church in Gonaives. The Lamartinerie’s were then planning to drive to Limbe to conduct Sunday meetings.
When they arrived in Gonaives they were told the road was blocked because of rain and flooding so they stopped at Chachou Hotel. The candidate didn’t have his key to the quarters/outpost building so the Lamartiniere’s suggested he stay with them until the rain stopped.
As they watched from the second floor room the water began to rise in the street, then in the hotel parking lot. Before dark they could no longer see the Isuzu Trooper they were driving and the water was all the way up to the second floor of the hotel. Outside they could hear the screams of people who were being washed away by the torrential floods coming down from the hills around Gonaives.
By Monday the water had receded enough for the Lamartiniere’s to venture out to see the extent of the damage. Gonaives is a city of 100,000 people, third largest in Haiti, and almost every home in the city was severely affected. The death toll is over 1200, and most believe it will grow. The Salvation Army church along with the candidate quarters were totally underwater and everything inside them destroyed.
Captain Lamartiniere and Candidate Marc Eddy were able to return to Port au Prince on Tuesday, 21 September. As they told the story of their narrow escape they testified to God’s protection and providential care for them.
PLANS FOR RELIEF EFFORTS
Major Matthieu Milfort, Port au Prince Central corps officer and Sister Oliane (Dicken Smith’s mother) went to Gonaives to check on personal family members and assess the situation in order to make plans for the Army to assist.
In addition, we have received reports from Gros Morne that there is significant damage in the area around the corps and school.
Other areas affected where the Army has schools and corps/outposts (Port de Paix, Kamass, Gardon, Plaisance, Limbe, Moulin) are totally cut off by road and communication. We are waiting for some word.
The Salvation Army in Haiti is working with Kindernoltife (Germany) to organize a relief effort that will address both short term emergency needs as well as some long term help for families.
Please be in pray for the people of Haiti during this another disaster to strike their country.
