Bonjou!
I am currently sitting on my bed in the guest house in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, testing out the internet connection that I should have for a couple of days while I am still in Port.
I made it here safely, obviously, and have not died of heatstroke, although I must say I feel that I am languishing on my deathbed from the humidity. It's a bit...warm. It's relatively okay when the breeze is blowing though, which is a majority of the time so far.
I have had an excellent time so far, having gone on a bit of a walk with the missionaries I'm staying with and having quite a nice chat with Steve (one of the missionaries) about several topics, including: the settling of this island by the Spanish and then the eventual take over by the French, the slave population and uprising here compared to what North America's slave population was like, Old Testament prophecies, CLEP tests, and the difference between America's rebellion and Haiti's slave rebellion. Hmm...run on sentence, I think. :)
All that to say, I'm enjoying myself so far, and am looking forward to dinner! :)
Pictures seem to be taking a very long time to upload, and I cannot even see forward progress...so I'm not sure if I'll be able to post or not..

Dad and I are so glad to read this post and see you are journalling your time there. It's a good thing to record your thoughts and events! We are praying for you each day. We love you. Mom
Stay safe, we're proud of you! (I'm presuming other people are proud of you, otherwise I'm using the royal We, which would be awkward.)
Miss you Si! I'm glad to hear that your time in Haiti is going well so far!!
I like the new blog heading you chose :)
Love ya!
Nan
