Woke up to a cool breeze with patters of rain. It smelled so good! Decided it was a perfect time for a good, long run. And it was. The rain stopped by the time I reached the main road. Lots going on in my head right now, so it was an especially welcome run.
On the road to the farm, a motorcycle driver yelled in creole "Poukisa ou kouri blan?" Why do you run white woman? The women walking across the road from me began laughing. I turned around to them, smiled, and gave a thumbs up. What is now embossed in my mind is the one woman's toothless grin with such joy in her eyes. Joy that is priceless!
Heading to run errands now - to Yamine, my vegetable vendor, the water store, gas station, and grocery store. Oh and if Jerry isn't bringing me folding chairs, to the school to pick up more chairs. We ran out of chairs at Bible study last week. That is good!
We had 12 and more are expected today as the word is spreading that 'the American lady has a Bible study in English so you can come and practice your English.' Someone brought this up last Saturday seemingly offended that people would attend for this reason. They were surprised I was not offended, but rather delighted. I explained to the group, "I take it one step further and think, yes they can practice their english BUT they are being fed the Word of God at the same time!" Amen!
Enjoy your Saturday!
