Hard Places
Two years of living in Haiti has taught us......we have a lot to learn! We were ignorant to how difficult language learning would be and even more ignorant to how difficult it would be to understand another culture. This past week, a team come from the states to help do inventory, cleaning, painting, planting and repairing at Mountain Maid, the self-help program. We are thankful for their "attack" on the never ending to-do list. The team worked indoors most of the time so a few cultural experiences were planned for them. My Dear took the team so our 12-year-old daughter, I refer to as Dolly, went along to a historical fort nearby. You should know that Dolly enjoys people, adventures, Jesus, and is passionate about animals.....especially dogs. Her love for animals is unique to this country where animals are seen as a way of living and not as companions. When Dolly received a goat, the employees of the mission could not understand why she would not eat her goat.
