Saturday night I was able to talk to my parents which was very nice. I missed out on family day:( but thankfully they missed me:)
Sunday was a quiet day but we did stay quite busy. In the morning we got the boys dressed in their Sunday best which took quite a while. Karen brought some new clothes for them from Canada and they were excited about their new look! We went to the Creole church across the street. It was VERY hot in the church and of course I didn't understand what they were saying but the singing was beautiful and the boys behaved very well.
After church we went for a drive in the country. Karen had to inform a family that their daughter was coming back from the USA on Tuesday after her heart surgery. The countryside looked very dry to me. It is the rainy season right now but it's only rained once since I've come and it still feel very dry here.
When we got back we went to watch Cadeau (a guy from the house) take his Karate lesson. I might take lessons with him. Since I can't go for walks it will be a good way to stay in shape:)
In the evening the whole Karate class came over to visit. I spent some time practising my Creole with them. I have many willing teachers, unfortunately they don't know English that well so it's a bit difficult. They keep telling me that Creole is easy and they get frustrated when I don't pick it up quickly. Hopefully I will get an official tutor next week.
Well, my emotions have been on a bit of a roller coaster but God is good. He's given me much peace. Also the e-mails I receive from home are a great encouragement. So far computer access has been limited but hopefully when my computer is hooked up to the internet I will be able to check e-mail more frequently.
Please continue to pray that I will learn the language quickly and that Haiti and especially Coram Deo will feel like home very soon.
