Let me put you at ease, I know that a Canadian was killed in Haiti yesterday but I am fine. The person who was killed was in an area where he should not have been. He took a short cut through a slum, which is always a bad idea here. They tried to take him hostage, but he tried to run away and they shot him. Karen and I are being very cautious. We never leave the house without taking someone with us. We also avoid any areas that we have heard are unsafe.
Things are pretty quiet a Coram Deo today. We worked hard in the morning, cleaning up the place and it looks pretty good right now. I have to admit I'm feeling a bit claustrophobic these days because I can't go out alone. I must have someone with me and there's not always someone around to go with. I'm also getting tired of only having guys around to talk to. As much as I love hanging out with the guys:) I really miss girl companionship. Sarah's sister Trish put me in touch with a girl who lives in Haiti. She e-mailed me a few times when I was still in Canada. I was shy about calling her but today I tried to call her. She wasn't home but I left a message. Hopefully I can connect with her sometime soon.
Other than that there's not too much exciting happening. I think I'm ready for the workshops that I will teach next week. The teachers seem excited so that is encouraging.
I might have an opportunity today to have a lesson on driving standard. Should be interesting:)
