Well its day 10 and everything is going quite well. My attempts to train Richard may have fallen by the wayside though as he has walked out on me. Oh well, it’s a different way of life here and all we can do is count our blessings that we live in such abundant and prosperous country like Canada and The United States. Pretty much everyone that I have had the privilege to meet have been extremely helpful and happy. The doctors and dentist have been down all week and there are lineups at the clinic everyday. A motorcycle drove in yesterday with 5 or 6 people on it. It was pretty amazing and the only one wearing a helmut was the driver. The small children were in the arms of the adults. Every once in a while today we get quite a breeze blowing, possibly a sign of the approaching storm. Temperatures don’t seem to change much. 35+ during the day and down to about 24-26 at night. As soon as the temperature goes below 25 out come the toques and sweaters. This just shows you that you can get used to the heat. Going to make Chili dogs, with potato soup and beans and rice for lunch today. Wish I could find some nutmeg somewhere. We had pancakes for breakfast this morning but everyone seemed to want the cereal instead. I think that I will try to find some milk powder somewhere in case we actually get a hurricane.
Well its after lunch and things have changed significantly. I am changing my flight and coming home tomorrow. Winds are coming but no one actually feels that we will get a hurricane. Just a lot of wind and rain. I believe that we have made a huge impact in the short time that I have been here and saying goodbye really is the hardest thing to do. A storm could lay me up in Haiti for a number of days and I really am looking forward to getting home. God Bless everyone who has followed this blog and we will see you tomorrow.
Pastor Pierre has returned and defused a lot of the troubles that we were having. He really is a charsmatic man. Here is a picture of him and Diane from Mercy Response
