Jan.29th-last day in Haiti

Today is my last day in Haiti, but here is yesterday's journal!
"I haven't written the past few days because my wrist hurts badly, but I decided to try again tonight after taking some Aleve. Today we went to Fose Cap Wa. There is a school and a church there. The men worked on haning up doors, while we women got to color and share "oobleck" with the kindergarteners. There was one little boy that was my favorite because he smiled alot, named Julien. We also shred Jolly-Ranchers with them, which they loved. I met some of the older kids also, who were surprised to know that I was only 14. After school, which ends around noon, we went to the Tourists Market. It was alot of fun and I bought a few things for friends. The people are very friendly and try very hard to get you to buy anything of their's. When we came home, we found a group from Texas/Missouri here. They are very friendly and we barely noticed them. I had a sip of coffee, just to see what it tasted like, and I don't believe I will ever be a coffee drinker. I have to go to bed now, got a long day at the beach tomorrow!"

Jan.26th-answering comments

I didn't write in my journal last night becasue my wrist is hurting extremely bad and I was very tired. I decided that I was just going to answer any questions that were asked on my comments since I've been here. I can't tell you guys how much I like hearing from you. It reminds me of all of you back at home. The first question, which was asked a couple of times, was if I could say hi to Meg and Wilbur. Everytime I read a comment when someone has asked that, Ilean over to Meg and tell her. She says hi to all of you also. Question number 2, How are the older travelers holding up. They are doing fine, except we have established that I am the most mature one in the group, therefore I am the leader on this trip. Most nights we are all laughing so hard, we almost pee ourselves, which in itself is hilarious. The third thing I have heard alot is, "Try to keep the guys in line". Those of you that made that request may not know how hard that it actually is, but I am trying my best. I also thought you should know that I am posting more pictures on my facebook for anyone who wants to see them!

January 25th-Church

"Today is Sunday, so we went to church. I'm not exactly cure where it was, but it was about a 30 min. drive. We got there a little late and when we walked in, everyone watched us. We couldn't understand much, except when Mike preached and Wilber translated.We also sang the song, "Amazing Grace, My Chains Are Gone".After church , all of the kids, and some adults, ran up to us to give us a hug. They were fascinated by our cameras and loved taking pictures. We also passed out suckers to them. After church, we went out to eat at a very nice resteraunt/hotel. I got chicken in garlic sauce, french fries, and some terro roots. We went back home to the compound and I took a nap. My daad woke me up and asked if I wanted to throw the softball, and I was surprised at how sweaty I got in just 5 min. Pretty much the rest of the night, we just lounged and snacked, because the cooks had Sunday off, so there was no supper."
I realize my journals are getting shorter and shorter every day. I guess I'm just getting more tired and falling asleep alot quicker!

Jan. 24-Baby

Jan. 24th's journal!!!
"Today has been my favorite day so far! We have 2 men from Puerto Rico staying at the compound also and they taught me how to say "Good Morning" in Spanish, "Buenos Dias". Well, anyways, today Meg took us to the market. It was crowded there and she only took 2 of us at a time because she didn't want to make a scene. She said, when my dad and I went, that people kept saying how pretty I was and they all liked me, but a few of them said things like, "What are they doing here?", "White Trash", and they wanted to know "why our servants didnt do the dirty work like that."We bought peanuts there, which were much better than the U.S.'s. We also went to Pastor Claye's house. Madame Claye had a litttle girl about 7 months ago and she is sooooooo cute and chubby, which is not common for a baby in Haiti. Pastor Claye's little sister was there too, and she only looked about 7. I liked her, and when we were leaving, she touched my hand, just for a second, like she wanted to know if it felt the same as her's. AS soon as I turned though, she let go.
We ate kunch at one of Meg's friend's houses and then went back to the compound. We pretty much just rested after that.
Right now it's raining so hard I can't hear myself think. Wilber said it's been raining like this for 5 days and it's supposed to keep up until Thursday. Oh, boy!!!
