Update & Lego Contest

My apologies for not getting anything posted for the past few weeks. Thank you so much to all of you who donated to the supply drive!

In the past few weeks, not much has changed in Pignon, but Jared, Stacey, Will & Natalie have been on a quite an adventure as they have all been to the States and back! Jared & Stacey feel that things are stable in Pignon, so they returned on the 10th to get the kids and have a few very helpful meetings. Their stay felt much too short, and the whole family left for Florida last Wednesday, returning to Pignon on Thursday, February 18. As you can imagine, it was a mix of emotions for them! It was difficult to leave again, yet they felt eager to get back to Pignon to see how the feeding program was going and check in on things. Stacey said Will was even excited to get started with school again this week, so that's a good sign! Please pray for their transition and continued direction from the Lord.

Stacey hopes to get a blog update to me as soon as possible, but they are having some computer issues so please pray that they can get that worked out quickly as well. They need to retrieve all their files from their external hard drive, and so far because of some glitches they can't figure out how. I won't go into details, but please pray for a quick solution as all the files from their laptop are held on this device.

And on a completely different note, I have been lax in helping get the word out about the Lego Building Contest coming up at Marion County Bank this coming Saturday, February 27. Titus Hopkins and his mom have organized this contest as a way for kids to get involved in helping the people of Haiti. Proceeds go to Many Hands for Haiti. We are so grateful to them for organizing this event and for the community support of several businesses! The intial entry date is past, but for an additional late fee you can still enter your Lego creation. Entry forms and information can be found at Marion County Bank. The contest is for K-12. Creations can be brought to Marion County Bank from 9-11am on Saturday, and the public is invited to vote the following week, March 1-5. Great prizes for top creations! For more information or an entry form stop at Marion County Bank or call them at 628-2191. I hope you'll come out to see the creativity and support MH4H!

Thanks for your continued support! Hopefully we'll have a word from Stacey later this week!
