My life in Haiti

It's really hard to put into words what Haiti is really like. It's actually not possible to help you really understand, unless you come here yourself, but I hope that in the months to come, I'll be able to help you see what my life in Haiti is like.
I've posted a picture of my bed here.The only thing missing in the picture is my mosquito netting, cuz I put that up after the picture was taken. I don't have a dresser, so I keep all my clothes on the top bunk, since no one's sleeping there right now. I have two roommates, Rachel and Rebekah. They're both from Alberta and we're like sisters already! There's actually nine adults, a two and a half year old and an eight month old baby living in our three bedroom, one bathroom house right now. It's a lot of people but we're so much like family that it works well.

Yesterday was my first day of classes and I thank you for your prayers! Classes went well. The students are very eager and enthusiastic to learn. In fact, they looked almost dissappointed when I told them it was break time, after they'd been sitting in class for almost an hour. Then I tried to dismiss the class at the scheduled time and they said that if we were going to finish class ten minutes before the hour, they they shouldn't have a break in the middle. I was seriously schocked! I've never been in a class at home where we protested a break in the middle of a two hour class!

Please continue to pray for me and the team here at Haiti ARISE. There are a lot of us living in tight quarters and it could be easy for us to become irritable with each other. Please pray for unity and love amoungst our team. We begin every morning with prayer and devotions at six o'clock and that really sets the mood for our day. I love spending so much time in the Word of God and in prayer for each other. I'm looking forward to seeing all that God is going to do, during my next few months here in Haiti!
