Cyclones & Hurricanes

Family and Friends,

In Haiti the word for "Hurricane" is "Cyclone."  They pronounce it more like "see-clone," but the reason we mention that today is that we heard the Iowa State Cyclones played more like a hurricane than a little twister on the prairie on Friday night, defeating the 2nd-ranked team in the nation.  Lynn's family are big Iowa State fans, so it was fun to see the headlines about that game, and the mission team visiting us, most of whom are from Iowa, all got a kick out of hearing about it, too.  We tend to feel disconnected from the sports world down here, but that headline stuck out for us.

In the next couple of days we will post an update on this team complete with stories from their week, photos, and prayer requests.  Just know that we are doing well, and they are all having a good time, too.  As always God surprises us with changing our plans and giving us other projects to do.  That is just standard stuff on any mission trip, and probably more so in a place like Haiti. 

Enjoy your Sunday and week of Thanksgiving.  We hear there was an ice storm that hit, too.  Hopefully all of you are safe and warm. 

God Bless,
The Grimms

PS.  Just a reminder to click on the "Ti-Rivier Times" tab above if you haven't already and enjoy some fictional stories about the characters in our village.  No one has commented on this yet, so we aren't even sure if it is working for people.  If not we'll get that fixed...
