Saying good bye to my children & Tony’s out of luck continued…
12 April 2007I’ve been saying good bye to each of the children in my heart. They don’t know I’m going yet, but I just hate to think of crying when I go. I’ll wait ’til I’m on the plane or even at home. The Lord is merciful, and I am grateful for such a wonderful experience here. […]
Sunburn, Tony and why can’t he just leave me alone?
10 April 2007I’ve been proposed too! Gosh, you’d think I’d be delighted right? Tony works at the local radio station and has been trying to get my attention from the first week I walked with the children to school. This is the kind of man who’s first introduction was translated by Pepe - he speaks less English […]
Milk for Willtosso, I think my hat is cool! Twins are so neat…
6 April 2007I got this cool hat at Market last week, it’s straw and has pink stripes running through it. I’ll post a picture when I get home, but for now my camera isn’t working. Haha, I got a great sunburn, after I got the hat, so maybe I should have been wearing it!
Willtosso is the name […]
Whistling, it’s rude… Thym is going to make a CD!
6 April 2007Hey, thanks to everyone for the comments, emails and chats. It’s been nice to keep up with people at home and online!
Thym (pronouced Tim) is going to record some songs in Kreyol for me. I had the idea when we were singing one evening after dinner, and thought maybe I could find some recording software […]
I’m Singing in the Rain - M’ap Chante nan Lapli… Church Service
26 March 2007Greetings to my friends in Idaho and readers elsewhere!
Have you ever been to a Church service in a partially completed cement building with a leaky roof? Where there enough chairs for everyone, and was there standing room? Last night was the last revival service for the guest preacher, he’s preached for 1 hour + every […]
American food - Hamberger and fries, Haitian money.
23 March 2007The prices for American food are outrages.
Chocolate… Port-au-Prince driving!
18 March 2007I think the title says chocolate… Well, it’s something we don’t have easy access to. When we payed $85 for a gallen of chocolate Ice Cream, you would think we were serious (and anyone else who’d pay that kind of price) about our chocolate. Actually, $85 Haitian is really only about $11 US, but we […]
Americans - Shaving Cream? Mangos are about to start!
15 March 2007Howdy from Haiti!
It’s been a fun week, we had American visitors. Pat’s daughter Melinda, a city boy named David, a fellow named Scott who builds houses and his friend Allen. Allen was a real blessing to my Creole, he tought me how to say quite a few things and explained some of the grammer. He […]
More needs - Baby Golson is scooting down the halls…
2 March 2007Dear everyone!
I miss you, I miss work and I hope everything is going well. Things are good here. Yesterday I washed clothes for about 5 hours, then in the evening took care of the premie twins while Minnie and Pat went to a church service. It was a nice day, and I really […]
Haitian frys - and Gerald’s Papa
24 February 2007Greetings from Haiti Children’s Home!
Yesterday, before Pat returned, (she was on vacation in the Dominican Republic) baby Gerald’s Daddy came to see him. Now, Gerald is my baby. I claim him. He’s 13 months old and the only 1 year old who has not been adopted yet. Anyway, I went downstairs to give him his […]
