wednesday in haiti!

We finished our third day of homeschool today and I am so madly in love with my children I can’t stand it.  No doubt that I’ve learned as much as they have.  Josiah is making me stand back in awe.  He counted to 29, knows his ABC’s, all of the shapes except the rectangle to which he called a “really big square.”  HA!  Ne is such a perfectionist.  She wanted to know what color the “fruit” was on the forbidden tree that Eve ate.  I told her that she could color it red because I wasn’t sure that the Bible gave its actual color.  She demanded to know the color and couldn’t bare to color it red if it truly wasn’t red.  I love it.  I love everything about it.

It has been raining here again today off and on.  That makes several days in a row.  ITs hard on the Haitian people guys.  Its so hard on them.  If you can imagine that most of the foundation in their homes is made of dirt.  When dirt gets wet it turns to mud.  Then there are those who are living in tents that don’t withstand the rain.  Its their life.  No getting sassy when they don’t get their hair, nails, or toes done.  I was in the back this afternoon doing my bible study when the rain started.  You could hear some major commotion coming from the mountain behind the mission.  It made me consider myself and what I would do if faced with the same daily trials that they are.  I so often think my struggles are ridiculous.  Like I have any right to be upset about anything.

Life is so hard for these beautiful people.  Ask God for his mercy on them tonight, please?

I’m late for dinner.  We get pizza tonight.  I’m just hoping that the sauce is not mix for sloppy joes!  HA!
