Good Morning Haiti

I woke up this morning at 7am, but Haiti was already awake. I can hear the women working hard in the kitchen making every one's breakfast. The dogs are barking outside and the children are playing with their jump ropes. This busy house makes me smile. I feel very welcome here. A young boy asked me yesterday how long I plan to stay in Haiti. I told him hopefully for a long time. He threw his hands in the air and said, "Thank you Jesus!!" The children seem very excited about having a new teacher. I was able to meet a few of my students yesterday, and I think they spread the word to all their friends there is a white lady teaching this year. I found out the new government has pushed the starting date for school back to October! I guess, I'm going to have longer then I thought to prepare for my class. I'm looking at this as a blessing from God. I'll have a whole month to meet my students and learn more creole. I have a lot to learn!
