THE CONRADS IN ARIZONA - RECENT EVENTS IN HAITI

Our family was finally all together on January 26th, 2010. We are praising God for his faithfulness during the terrible earthquake that hit Haiti. Although we are so thankful to get Schella home, our hearts still go out to all of those who are still struggling in Haiti. Please keep them in your prayers and we will as well.

Wow...Barely made it - PRAISE GOD

Sunday night, 6pm - Port Au Prince
Hal Nungester, the orphanage director announced to the group... "Come on, we gotta get all these kids to the airport NOW!!!!" Apparently, the new prime minister of Haiti was going to start reviewing all the kids' paperwork that were going to be leaving the country. He wanted to check every single file before releasing the kids to the United States. AHHH!!! Now, remind you - the kids were not planning to leave until Monday morning. So, the adults frantically started getting the kids around in the dark (there were no lights, no electricity) They are fumbling for shoes, clothes for all these kids to head to Florida on a moments notice. They finally got all the kids in the truck and got to the airport. There are over 50 kids and several adults that need to get on a plane. Once they reach the airport in PAP - they check in most of the kids for the first plane, about 40 made it on the first plane - Schella and Randy were able to make it on the first plane. They get a flight out - praise God!!! The other 10+ were able to make it out on the second plane. What a minute.... they were supposed to fly to Miami, that is where all the adoptive parents are meeting them.... OH NO!! They flew them all to Orlando! Randy called me late last night and said "We have over 50 kids in Orlando, what are we gonna do? How are we going to find a place for all these kids?" After several hours going through customs, the kids were released and on their way. As I speak, they are working on a flight from Orlando to Miami for the 50 kids so they can meet their adoptive parents in Miami.

Praise God.... Randy and I have completed enough of the adoption process that he can take Schella with him and head home. THEY WILL BE HERE IN ARIZONA TODAY!!! OH GOD, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! PRAISE BE TO YOU JESUS!
