After they departed I drove out to Mon Cukoo to take photos of our tractor, that needs some missing parts and damaged parts replaced. I think 50 photos were taken by the time I was finished. Thank you World Concern et al for your collaboration and support to farmers in Haiti.
After the tractor photo session(!!), I met Marie-Clare, and went to bon marche (Ouanaminthe market) to shop for our haitian cooking lesson. Came back to my apartment and I learned to cook a macaroni and haitian vegetable with shrimp bouillon sauce dish, with fried plantains. it was SO good, I must say!
We then went to the manners/courtesy class together at the school and taught the students about appropriate manners for a college interview, with adaptation for job interviews and business appointments. One of the students commented to someone that he listens to everything I teach and say -when I heard this I stopped in my tracks as this is a very humbling and responsible position he has placed me in. Please pray I am worthy of this honor to serve these students. May God be glorified and keep me accountable.
After our class, I went to the volleyball game - Ouanaminthe vs. Cap Haitien, of which we "beat the socks off" CAP! Chedeline played and I got some additional footage to send to colleges.
This evening I planned a Thanksgiving dinner, with the help of Hugues. No turkey, as he prefers chicken! He loves stuffing therefore we will get the ingredients for stuffing and a chicken as well as the ingredients for sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, corn casserole this week when we go for a supply run, and then I will attempt to find and invite any ex-pats and "haitian-americans" I find for our very own Thanksgiving dinner!
I just got the internet for the first time in a week at home, so I am catching up on emails and research, and...bed soon!
I will post some photos from today, the next time I blog. Good night, all!
