After Two and a Half Years

Wow! It has been a long time. I have a lot to catch up on. For one, we are now in sunny St.Barths at last. God has been good to us and we arrived here safe and sound on May 3, 2011. In 2010 we left Canada,  drove to Florida and surprised one set of grandparents. The other, Grammy, we of course warned  that a family of seven was coming to stay for a certain number of months, for only the Lord knew when we would leave for St.Barths. We enjoyed our stay there and loved spending time with our grandparents.

In the beginning of 2011,my dad came here to St.Barths to look for a house for us to rent. He looked and looked and found a few houses, but we were not sure if they were the right one for us. Dad came back to Florida and we waited to see what God would do. God opened up the door for us and my dad's Aunt told us that there was a nice house up for rent. She sent us the pictures of it and God told us that this was the place for us. Needless to say, us girls and babies arrived in St.Barths on May 3, for the boys had arrived before us to settle things. The house is 1,500 euros, two bedrooms and one bath. The kitchen is a nice size and Mom has made many a meal in there.

If  you think 7 is a lot  to fit in two rooms in April, 2012 a new bundle of joy arrived, a baby boy. We love little Micah Reuben and glad God added him to our family. We started here in our house a Sunday morning Bible study and God blessed us with wonderful lady named Maria and later on  three equally wonderful ladies: my dad's aunt Marianne, his grandmother (we call her Ma-ma,) and Eliane . Maria was saved in the states for she lived there for a while. Marianne got saved last year but we are still praying that Ma-ma and Eliane will get saved.

 We also started passing out tracts, invitations, and John and Romans, all in french. So far we have passed out about  750 bags of these.

 On March 14, 2012 I turned 14 years old. After months of waiting I finally got my purity ring for my birthday; later, I will tell you more about it and why in the world they call it a purity ring. 2012 was a great year and we are already enjoying 2013. We can't wait to see what great things God has in store for the Gimenez family.
