a long wait... a great surprise!

 Before I begin I want to thank you guys so much for praying
 for my toe! Your prayers helped a LOT.
 My toe is now completely healed!

 
  


 










I am SO sorry about the HUGE amount of time there is from now and since I last posted.
The internet wasn't working for over a month, but thanks to some
 hardworking people, we got it back!
One day mom told me that she was skyping with my Nana.
Of course, I became overjoyed because I got to talk to my Nana,
and I could update my blog!




Yesterday I went to a little village called Kompech ( I might have spelled that wrong).
Cami and my mom evangelized, while I watched the kids (several Haitian kids,
Azi, Biga, and Gideon).
They talked to a man that had never heard the true Gospel.
After a while, he decided to invite them to his house on Sunday to come and share more about this loving God with his whole family.

As all of this was all happening, I was playing
with the various assortment
of adorable animals that were kept in Kompech.
They had puppies of all shapes and sizes...

I wish I could have gotten a picture of each of the little puppies, but they were so playful,
and always moving, I couldn't get a picture that wasn't blurry!

There were also goats that were only a couple months old..

I didn't play with this animal, but there were so many of them, I just had to take a picture!

You may or may not be able to see it, but they're are
letters imprinted on it's back.
In America, they brand animals by pressing heated letters or symbols
on part of the cow. I'm not quite sure how they do it here though.


Once the little Haitian children saw my camera they kept
begging me to take pictures of them!
"Fe foto, fe foto, fe foto!" they all pleaded.
Fe foto means: "take a picture" in Creole.
Here are some of the kids making funny faces...

Here is them pretending to be angry...

















I wish you could have heard the laughter that came after
I showed them the pictures!


The other day, I went around and took pictures of some of the beauties
in Haiti. Flowers are one of my favorite gifts from God.
I guess I inherited my love for plants from my dad, who was, and still is,
a landscaper. And, no, these pictures were not color enhanced or modified in any way.

 

























My dad ordered rooting hormone from Amazon for the plant
nursery he has started.
He goes around taking clippings of plants, and then he dips the ends
of the plants in the hormone, which allows the plant to sprout new roots.
After that, he plants the clippings in homemade pots made out of plastic bottles cut in half,
and some real plant holders that he brought with him.

Today we went to a beach with the Ayars, that we have never been to before.
It was beautiful and I remembered to take lots of pictures this time!
The new beach had a ledge on a mountain, from where we jumped off of , and into the ocean.
Don't worry, it wasn't very high.

Here are some pictures of the place we stayed at for the day….

                                                           

  The picture above is the area where we had lunch.

This is a furry friend that ate lunch with us.

Below are pictures of our lunches...

BBQ chicken, fried plantains, carrots and militon, and rice...

Fish, carrots and militon…

Here are some pictures of the time on the beach…

This was a very adventurous trip with cliff jumping, path finding,

lots of swimming, short hikes, picture taking, relaxing, fishing, kayaking, etc…

I got a few good pictures of the beaches...

On the ride home we passed a few houses…

One of my favorite things about Haiti is the colorful

 buildings like the one above.

One of Haiti's major crops is rice. 

Here is a picture of a rice patty...

I know that this post was mostly pictures, but I hope you enjoyed it!

Tune in for more cool stories about life in Haiti!
