One Week!

so we have been here in saint marc for officially over one week... praise God that we are still here! it has been quite a difficult week with quite a bit of homesickness, culture shock, and just overall feeling of attack at a lot of points. which would of couse = growth! too bad intense growth doesn't happen during easy times...

we have made a few friends here, though, from the good old state of virginia... pensylvania, some other friends who are on outreach from switzerland & chile, and some from other places. it's been nice to have some people to hang out with and spend time with.

our daily activities for the week have been: lots of kitchen/dishes clean up, meal prep, maitenance, cleaning, moving boxes, sorting & organizing, and praying. our days start with waking up at 6am (i know, we are surprised too that we get up so early!), breaky, worship & intercession for an hour, the the work day starts at 8am-12am... then an hour break, then 1pm-5pm.

we've been able to make it down to the tent city twice now and are anticipating spending our last 2 weeks here teaching 2 english classes every afternoon at the one tent city. also this upcoming week we have been asked to manage the kitchen (awesome...) and oversee volunteers in this area, and some other things. so that should be interesting! not really sure what we are getting ourselves into but it will all work out, i'm sure.

other than that, daunavan is currently reading soul revolution, while i have picked up a good old copy of little men from the base's school library which has been nice reading! we've finished all 5 episodes on our ipod of the office (dang!), and are winding down at night playing a few games of bejewelled. i'm addicted now!

anyways, that's all for now. your prayers are coveted soooo much! we miss all of you so much and think/pray for you often when we think to. lots of love from haiti!
