Hey everyone, this is Brant and Brantley. Man it took a long time to get here, but I'm glad I came. God's provision for us in the U.S. is soooooooooooo taken for granted. It's taken for granted by me a lot, and I really didn't realize it. It will definitely make you think about things. I am so thankful for the things God has done in my life and is doing right now. Haiti is so much different than home, people have to get up each morning and do what they can to get their next bite to eat. There is so much trash all around, it is very dirty. People don't have good shoes or clothes, and it really makes you sad to see them. God is definitely working here in Posse ba daum. They are teaching the people first of all about Jesus, then how to grow things, how to make things and how to be clean. Wells are being drilled, and hand pumps are always something to be fixed which we've been helping with the last two days. I've welded some gates up for a man that lives down the road, and I finished them today. Nathan and I ran some new plumbing in our house, things were leaking pretty bad. Things are fixed now, so new things are in order for tomorrow. God is awesome, and is working so much through water for life, I'm so blessed to be a part of it. I think the only thing I don't like is that it is hard to talk to the Haitians because of the language barrier but in just two days, I have been able to build a couple of small relationships with the people, hopefully they will continue to grow. I thank God for all of your prayers, they are really being heard. Keep on doing it. Bye

  4. Hey Brant!!.....Hope things are going well. Scott and I are so excited about what the Lord is doing through you guys. Know that we're praying for God to constantly bless you all with the recognition of His glory and use you to bless others, as well. The reflection of Christ is increasingly evident in your life...continue to allow the Spirit to be reflected to others through you (both in your words and actions)...even during difficult times. We love you and can't wait to hear all the details...we are posting on Mags account (she is leaving now for New York and says to say hi)...Scott and Leslie. PS-Even when our language fails...our prayers do not. (don't get discouraged by the language barrier).
