It's Tuesday afternoon and it has been raining almost steadily since Sunday evening. We are thankful to be dry and have plenty to eat. The Haitians seem to go to bed at dark. They can't waste the fuel to just sit around a campfire. All the charcoal is used for cooking. I'll try to put a picture on here of men sawing boards from a log just above our house on the hillside.
We had our second Creole lesson yesterday. We are feeling very inadequate in the "learning a new language" department. Maybe it will come with time. While it continues to rain, we have nothing but time.
We made soup with potatoes, carrots, onions, and chicken bouillon cubes last night. I also made corn bread on the top of the stove. We really enjoyed it. Tonight we will have eggs, fried potatoes and toast. I'm running out of ideas, so we will have to sit down and figure out what we can make with our ingredients on hand. We are going to Limbe on Thursday to give away trees and possibly to market. "If the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise." - and I mean that seriously!!
Keep us in your prayers and we pray for you. Our friends and family are very precious to us.

I'm glad to see a post from today. Did the earthquake affect you? The news said Haiti was hit by a 7.0 earthquake and phone service is out, and that there is a tsunami watch!! So, I am praying that you were not in harm's way and hoping to hear from you soon. BTW, what ingredients do you have to work with?-- maybe I can find some recipes for you.
Love,
Deb
Just saw on the news about the earthquake. Praying you are safe. I called Tracy to check on you and he told me about this blogspot. I have a dear friend who is from Haiti.
