Hello Friends,
Well last week was mostly assisting in the Piney Point ministry and the ministries of the sister churches. Justin was put to work this week: painting, weed eating, etc...
Bobbi Ann has been focused on homeschooling, packing and moving our family around...we have been blessed to stay with some great friends this week in Northwest Arkansas. Also, I believe I am nesting! :)
Kevin has been busy, well, being Kevin. He has been completing homeschool and enjoying being a kid.
We have been able to enjoy a little of the outdoors as a family!! Today Justin and I decided on prefolds for our cloth diapers...Not only were they the most cost friendly, they also seemed just simple enough and perfect! We are getting very excited!
We love you all - hope to share some more next week; maybe we will have more to share! :)
God Bless you all!!
Justin, Bobbi Ann, Kevin and Annika

Hello and I begin with an apology for waiting until tuesday to get this blog out.
We once again thank each of you for your support and for following us on this blog! We were previously gone on our last big trip (maybe ;) before we head back to Haiti (which we are hoping will be in Feb.). We had the privelage of staying with our great friends and brother and sister in Christ in Texas while giving our presentation at two churches. Both pastors and their congregations were welcoming. The Lord blessed this trip by also allowing me to visit with our sisters at Calvary Baptist for their women's retreat. Fellowship was wonderful in Surfside with the women and the sermon we were able to hear Sunday morning really blessed us!
So for the last week we spent our time in Texas visiting 2 churches and a conference. I also was blessed just last night with a few beautiful flowers from my husband. Today Justin was blessed to be able to help the Piney Point Ministry. We also were able to take a field trip yesterday to Pea Ridge military park and it is always interesting to see what different things Kevin picks up on anytime we get to visit there.
The forthcoming weeks look mostly like being involved in the Piney Point and sister chcurches area. Of course there are a few churches in the NWA area we will be visiting and I will keep everyone posted, and we are trying to visit others that we either need to contact or get back in touch with.
God Bless you all!

Great Monday!
Hello all! Well, we spent most of our time this week at the Revival in Pea Ridge and were blessed to rejoice with recieving new brothers and sisters into the family of the Lord this week (a total of 18 souls)!
During the day times this last week; Kevin and I struggled with homeschooling and my prayer is that he realizes there is no way that school should have to last all day and that this week will be better. We did end the week by having lunch together out of the house and away from everything, just the two of us. It was a great experience. Kevin prayed for our waitress and we also invited her to revival. Justin drove to bring back a friend they made while alligator hunting in Louisianna :)...then spent most of his days helping prepare for the revival.
Tomorrow we leave for Texas. On Wednesday night and Sunday morning we have a presentation at different churches. Thursday through Saturday I will have the privelage of joining Sherry Ketring and some others from our churches in Galveston for a women's retreat with our sisters from Calvary Baptist in Hunstville, TX :) (I am very excited).
The following week we will be blessed again to stay with some of our friends and a brother and sister in Christ here in Rogers! The Lord has blessed us with brothers and sisters who open their homes to us and we are very greatful. We are also continually greatful for the prayers and support of each of you who follow us to know where the Lord has us!
*p.s. the nesting process has begun as I prepare for our return to Haiti as well as the arrival of Annika (it is a little different when you don't have a permanent residency and there is much paper work involved in going overseas!
God Bless you all!
The White Family - soon to return to Haiti and working for the Lord where we are each day!

Hello Everyone!
Well i thought sunday would be the official blog update day, however i am thinking i need to officially change that to Mondays since we are always so busy on Sundays that it never gets done!
Well in the last week we homeschooled, had a doctors appointment for Annika and got to visit 1st Baptist Church Bentonville. Thos were our sort of hightlights of the week.
Annika is 26 weeks old and we will now officially see the doctor every 2 weeks. Kevin is doing just fine with homeschooling and an occasional hands on day is in order, otherwise he very much just likes to read the work and answer the questions and be finished :)...he is very smart, so as long as he is learning we will work with what works best with him and what he enjoys most.
We had a wonderful visit last night with the 1st Baptist church of Bentonville. They had a great worship lead by the youth choir and then we were also blessed to share our presentation with them.
Our sister, JoJo, got married on Saturday :) and made a most beautiful bride. Her uniting family now makes for 17 stockings at Christmas! We are blessed with a wonderful family!
This next week looks like more phone calls to try to get into churches. There will be some follow up on my end as well as printing newsletters from last month for some of our supporters (we have been out of printer ink, so i apologize for the delay) and we will also be encouraging Cross Roads Baptist Church in Pea Ridge, AR. Please come out if you can starting Wednesday night through the rest of the week: Revival, dinner at 6pm revival services at 7pm.
God Bless and we love you all

Hello Friends!
Again, thank you all so much for your love, support and prayers. We have had great opportunities this week.
Last Sunday morning Justin gave a great sermon from the Lord at Piney Point. We also got to encourage the Cross Point Church in Eureka that evening. On Monday Justin contacted several pastors and were able make commitments to visit three churches and give our presentation (which consists of encouraging others into missions and of course seeking support for the Lord's work in Haiti through our family). We do know now that we will be visiting Texas again in October :)! It will be between the Calvary Baptist Women's event also, so i am hoping to join our sisters at that church for their event :). We did need to change the date for our visit with the First Baptist Church of Bentonville. We will now be speaking there on Sunday night, October 3rd. We look forward to seeing Brother Philip Smith again! Thursday night Justin had the privilege of speaking for the men at the Piney Point Men's Study and spoke on Galations 2:20.
We had a great homeschool week! We even were able to start a few schience labs finally! Hoping we can find some caterpillars this upcoming week. The only hard part of traveling and having observation labs is leaving your labs or even traveling with them, but we are doing what we can!
Friday we spent all day driving to join our parents in Tennessee, which is where we are now! We were invited on a week vacation with them. Kevin just learned about land regions and so much more that we were able to apply on the trip down, it was a lot of fun! We also had several witnessing opportunities, which is always encouraging!
Today was our first actual day in Tennessee. We went into Gatlinburg, TN and walked through most of the town. They have some very interesting things: great clothing (my thing, even though i can't bring myself to spend money on anything :), haunted houses (which Justin likes), game places (Kevin's thing)and just a ton of family activities! We hope this week will be relaxing and allow Justin and I to have a much needed date as well as the three and 1/2 of us to catch up on some much needed family time; we have been running a lot lately! However, even in the midst of vacationing, we know our hearts is in spreading the gospel and so we are taking that opportunity here in Tennessee :). We also could never forget our great brothers and sisters who support us in love, prayer and financial. We love you all and will write again next week to let you know what the Lord has allowed to happen for His kingdom in Tennessee!

Bonswa!
This was not as eventful of a week as usual. Justin was able to reach several people this week and we were able to get dates from 4 pastors to talk to their church family. This includes making another trip to Texas this October. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again. I am also hoping to join the women in their annual conference while we are down.
We had our appointment with the clinic this week again and the baby seems to be healthy and I seem to have gained 8lbs which made the doctor very happy. Today we also recieved a card letting us know we got approved for Medicaid. This is a huge praise, as the Lord has taken care of all of the finances for the pregnancy and birth through Medicaid!
Kevin had a rough start with homeschool. He woke up at 4am the first day and by 9am the lack of sleep hit him like a ton of bricks and nap time kept us going with school until late afternoon. The second day he also caused schooling to last late into the day, but the third day he completed all of his work in 3 hours and was so excited to see how quick homeschooling went that we haven't had any problem since!
Justin stayed in Louisiana a couple of extra days and joined in an opportunity to alligator hunt! He did kill an alligator and I did not ask for any details until they all returned safely; :) Which they did.
Well, next week we will be in Tenessee for a week, thanks to my parents. They are on vacation and have invited us to join them for a week. It will be a nice time to spend alone with our family.
Please let us know what prayers we can be lifting up for everyone! We love you all and are so thankful for your continued support. Remember, if we can come speak to your church family we would love the opportunity. Email us your prayer requests or any other requests you have: whitefamilyhaiti@hotmail.com
