Quick update: chicken coop is coming along nicely. Started the week clearing land, mixing cement, carried lots of buckets of cement, hung chicken wire around structure. Chicken coop is almost done; just needs a couple more rows of cinder blocks and a door. It is looking pretty good.
Yesterday, I took an adventurous ride home from the work site in the back of a pick up truck through the streets of Port au Prince which was a fun and wild ride. Glad I did it!
After dinner we went back to the orphanage. Gets emotional the way some of the little ones just want to be held. One little girl fell asleep in my lap while I was rocking her.
Culture shock, adjusting and changing as a person. Beginning to see my surroundings as familiar. Same thing happened to me in LaRomana, DR. I start off numb, emotional midweek, changed by the time I return home. Transformative experience. Blessed to be here amongst beautiful, Haitian people where God's grace is apparent.
Karen, all the posts here have been interesting and sometimes entertaining to me this week. There's something special about your posts, a level of emotional honesty I think, for which I'm grateful. I'm holding you all in the Light as you prepare to return to your former homes and as you travel. Anne Wright
