Our house, and a few other things!


Our second day has been a good one! We went to church this morning, and had to stand up front to be introduced. Kris translated for us as we greeted the church family and told them we are glad to be here to serve the Lord with them. They were all very smiley and friendly! Then Kris also translated the sermon for us, so we could understand most of what the pastor was saying.

We also got to watch the Jesus film (in French...so we just enjoyed the visual aspect haha) with a building full of kids this afternoon. Anna is a huge help as we try to communicate with people since she speaks both Creole and English.

We are falling in love with our house also. It is just the right size for us! Minus the rather uncomfortably large spider we encountered this morning, we are starting to feel more at home.

This week we will start doing some of the things we were anticipating before we left. Chris will have the opportunity to go to the clinic tomorrow, and I will begin my first attempt at helping teach Eli and Anna. (I am nervous!) But we are excited to start our first week. Please pray for Cory as he is traveling to Port au Prince this week.
Here is a shot of the inside of our house...it's hard to get a good picture in there! But that's our bed with a mosquito net, and as you can see we have nice curtains.

We will upload another picture of the house when we can. The top picture is of Chris and Anna and a few kids we met around the compound. There were about 10 kids pushing their faces against our door the first day we were here...they are very curious!

  1. Love you Chris and Kathleen, Glad you are there and we are enjoying the information you are giving us about your experiences. Makes me think of some of the experiences I had in Haiti when I was there as a nursing student.
