Senye, ala nou kontan se pa nou k'ap kenbe ou men se ou k'ap kenbe nou. Lord, How glad we are that we don't hold you, but that you hold us.

Haiti by foot
My car is still getting fixed so I've been carless for a bit now. Unfortunately so are Randy and Karen. Thankfully they were able to borrow their neighbour's trucks for a bit, so we've been carpooling to work everyday. However, on weekends I'm back to being carless. I have a variety of people who live close and can give me a ride so I usually do okay. Today, though, I decided to walk instead. There is a Christian International School not too far from me and they were having a fundraiser Bazaar. I walked over to my friend's house to get a ride with her and then walked home afterwards. It's different seeing Haiti by foot. You notice a lot more because you're going so much slower. I saw a few interesting shops that I'd like to check out some day. A few people tried to start conversations with me. I just said hello and kept walking quickly by. The bazaar was fun. I had my nails painted, bought a Creole book and some nice cards. It was good to see some people I hadn't seen for a while. I'm slowly making connections and starting to feel like I know a few people. Tonight there is a "Night of Arts" at the same school which I am looking forward to.
