Off again to Haiti from March 6th to the 13th

There will be 11 of us traveling on March 6th to visit orphanages in Port Au Prince, Haiti to deliver donations that have filled 24 army duffle bags and suitcases. My daughter's Non-profit organization, Hearts Helping Haiti, makes 2 missions trips per year to help orphans in Port Au Prince. Due to my absence, no orders will be mailed until we return on Mar. 13th. All orders will be mailed in the order that they were received. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause anyone! Please pray for us and keep us in your prayers every day as we do God's Will.
