I have been in Haiti for almost one week, I arrived in Passe Catabois in north eastern Haiti after four plane rides, a motorcycle taxi and a tap tap ride. The tap tap is like a taxi but everyone rides in a the back of an old Toyota Tacoma. In my tap tap there were sixteen of us in the back, five inside the cab and four on top! I went from snow at the airport in Seattle to 90 degrees plus humidity here in Haiti. So far I have not seen any tarantulas b/c it is not the rainy season but I did have a decent size banana spider jump out of the shower at me which was not cool! People in Washington may have heard it! On my fourth day here I picked up a baby, I named him Elijah. His mom died in a house fire, and the child was given to his aunt who has twelve kids herself, so for now Eli is my baby! He has been my constant companion and I love the little guy, but he is not gonna go home with me!! Today is Good Friday and I woke up to hear a ra ra which is all the people who worship Satan celebrating the fact that Jesus died. They are dancing c machetes and chanting. It has been very disturbing, there is a lot of spiritual warfare going on here. Please keep us in your prayers!
