I Finally Fell...

The roads around GLA are pretty rough. They're really just full of big rocks and uneven ground. There's nothing very stable about them. It's actually become a bit of entertainment around here! People enjoy laughing at other people when they fall on the roads... there's not much mercy given, even though everyone falls at some point! Haha!
Well, last night it was my turn. I was walking back to the Toddler House, from the Main House. It was about 7:00pm, but it gets dark around 6:30pm, so we were walking in pitch dark. I could hardly even see my hand in front of my face! There are two streetlights on our road, but they aren't usually on because there isn't usually electricity at that time of night. I was just walking along with my two roommates, minding my own business, and carrying all my laundry that I had just finished doing. My roommates and I were talking about how God must find it very humerous to watch us stumbling down that road, when He can see everything. Then suddenly, the rock that I had stepped on slid right out from beneath my foot and I fell flat on my bum and scraped my arm on the cement wall that I fell against. Haha! The Haitian man who was leaning against the wall nearby, burst out laughing, as did we! I wasn't hurt badly, just a little scrape by my elbow, but boy was it a funny experience!

Dear Stacey, Make sure you get some antibiotics on the scrapes. It is easy to pick-up infections from bacteria that is forgein to our North American bodies. It sounds like you need to wear a head lamp. That is what we use in Guatemala as we follow dark mountain paths. The head lamps are very handy and you can use them for reading and scarring off rats in the middle of the night. Let me know if you can find one there or if I need to send one to you.
A couple of suggestions about the rats. 1. get a Jack-Russel terrier, they kill rats.
2. Pet guine-pigs scar the rats and mice away. I know it sounds wier, but I hear it is true.
