Sunday

I just had a great Sunday morning. I went to the English speaking church finally. It was so great to go to church and understand what they were saying. I really enjoyed the service and the message and of course I could sing and actually know what I was singing. I think Ysmaille liked it, he'd said he'd go with me again. I also saw Jenny (the girl I went for lunch with) and she introduced me to a few teachers at the missionary school. On Friday there is going to be a women's get together at Jenny's house and I'm going to try and go. Jenny offered to let me sleep over because it doesn't finish until after dark. Most of the people live really close to eachother so it's fine for them but I have further to travel. I'm really looking forward to it.
The guys are working on the books right now but I told them that I'm not helping. I have worked non-stop on the books for 1 1/2 weeks and I've started dreaming about them. I need a break!!!
Later, I'm going to Ysmaille's house for lunch. Every Sunday we visit some of his relatives and I just smile and say "Bonswa" over and over again while they talk all around me. Sometimes Ysmialle translates especially if they ask me a question. I really need to learn Creole soon so I can really experience the culture.
So, I've finally arranged for a tutor. Another lady who has been in Haiti for almost 3 years and works near us hasn't picked up much Creole and would also like to have a tutor. We're going to hire the same tutor and have classes together. It's a two week intensive course and I'm hopefully going to do it in the afternoon since school is in the morning until 1:00. I know it will be a lot of work with school just starting but I have to learn the language soon.
Well, other than that not too much happening. I got my hair braided which took forever but I like it. I posted some more pictures on my photo album if you want to check them out.
Alright, that's pretty much all for now.
