Haitian culture

hola a todos      

 

I hope y’all doing good.

 

so, last week I was in Haiti, after waiting a couple hours in the border and then traveling in the back of a motorcicle for 1 hour I got to a city called Capotillo.

 

IT WAS GREAT!!! high up in the mountains and really cold and green, yes like los montasitos, except that I don’t understand a wiord of waht the people say. Most people specially older ones speak Spanish.

 

The Pastor I’m staying with, the Main pastor and I hiked for about 7 hours on mondaydoing visitations, because of all the rain a lot of brothers and sisters could not go to church, so we went up in the mountains which looked like the jungle and prayed over lots of families. On tuesday we went to the market, is th type of market where everyone goes and even school stops because of it.

 

I asked a couple people and they said they are really happy about Barack Obama being president of the United States

 

Antoine, My host, studied Theology here in the dominican Republic for about 10 years, and while I was there we studied a lot from the Bible. His son Javi (5) is adorable, asking me how do I call things in spanish (et ça?). His wife who’s pregnant cooks really good food.

Culture is really different, church is very legallistic, and the main sport there is Soccer, I might leave all the balls and bats I brought here in Dajabon.

 

I’m going back to Haiti on monday and this time I’ll spend there 20 days, no phones, no internet one hour a day of electricity, and going to bed at 6 pm to wake up at 4.

 

Happy thanksgiving BTW
