Kids here love having their picture taken! They especially enjoy pictures of just them...and as soon as you snap the picture they will rush you to see it. They love to see themselves on the screen of the camera and even more after you put them on the computer. Kids are apart of our every day, always coming to our house at random times. Recently
I (Chris) repaired a volleyball with two holes using some superglue and a plastic bag! We try to always be welcoming, but it is hard to be continually welcoming to kids that seem to come and just ask for things. But they are great overall. Once we start talking to them we really do enjoy their smiles and playful natures.
This week we helped again with the kids program on Sunday afternoon. Jean-Pierre (below) tried to make us sing a song in English in front of fifty kids but he failed to do so :) haha He also said that Kathleen and I would be having a baby soon... or at least we think that is what he was saying in Kreole! haha We have both gotten better at laughing at ourselves while in Haiti... which is important. It is great to hear the kids laugh and to see them munch away on crackers and receive gifts that they get when they attend (below are the bags of crackers, soap, whistles, candy, berets, etc...). The children come up and
sing a song or say a bible verse and get a treat in return. It is cool. Yesterday we watched "3-2-1 Penguins" an animated film with a lesson in it. Cory had to translate the whole thing because it was only in English. Cory did a great job!
We played "Phase 10" with our new neighbors (the Baileys) last night after dinner for a few hours and I lost big time! Bummer, from winning to losing in the last hand :(
So here goes another week! Thanks for the coffee Tom!
Thank you for reading and have a blessed day :)

For the record, I am not going to have a baby soon! Haitians just like to ask that question right away, they don't wait to have babies here! :)-kathleen
