All things Haitian...

Well the trip is winding down...just church tomorrow and the resort on Monday...and then back to the States we come. Hard to believe its time to head back already.

The last 24 hours has included a few Haitian first for me. Last night when we got home a few of the guys were killing goats for dinner...so of course us city Americans had to go watch. I missed when they slit the throat, but got to see the rest of it. The nurses were giving anatomy lessons on the internal organs! I think the high school kids liked it the most! And I bet in the next day or two we will eat the aforementioned goat for dinner!

Then today at the school I got to see my first tarantula...the kids came running in and said there was a HUGE spider outside. I was expecting this little spider but I have to admit they were right! It had to have been the size of my palm! I'll have pics later to prove it!

The garden got finished today and looked amazing. Now the kids just have to worry about keeping it watered. They also started setting up the ground for the foundation for the new preschool. It is amazing to see the progress that has developed since I was here in October. God is really allowing his work to be accomplished...and I'm excited he's let me have a little part in it!
