The Haitian Times

Bonjour! I have been in Haiti for about 2 weeks now and I am having a great time! I am keeping very busy but I like that. There's always things for me to do here. My main assignment is to help write the Bible curriculum for all of BHM's (Baptist Haiti Mission) schools. We are working on 1st grade right now. This past weekend I was able to get the first two weeks worth of lessons completed and they are being translated right now. We have a meeting on Thursday to go over the lessons and see what everyone thinks. I am working with Deborah and Kelli, two of the missionary ladies here AND we are getting lots of help from Morgan, Jon, and Kari! Thank you guys so much for all your help. When I am not writing Bible curriculum I am helping Chris, he is charge of the education and youth, in his office doing whatever he needs me to do.
I've helped Pastor Baker with some filing and as well. I just go where they need me to go!
My apartment is very nice and I like it a lot. The first few days my toilet wasn't working so I stayed in Kryk and Deborah's home. I am enjoying my little place and I am trying to find things to make it more homey.
Everyone here is just wonderful! It's like being in a big family which I love!! There are little kids everywhere and I am Aunt Carrie to some of them. :) It's a lot of fun.
This last week and now this week there is a team here from Maryland. They are working on Chris and Kelli's roof. I have had a roommate, Isa for the last week and she is staying for one more week. I haven't had time to be lonely or anything!! :0
If anyone wants to come and visit me and help out at the mission just let me know!! They are always needing help here and now that I'm here I understand how much work all the missionaries do and how much they need more people to do different things.

I will try and update this more often. There are some pictures below of my apartment. Enjoy!

Miss you all!!

Hooray for your blog! We're all praying for you. Let us know if we can send somethings down your way. Do you have a maid who puts a mint on your pillow? I hear they exist in Haiti.
