Small successes

Family movie night was a big hit on Saturday. We borrow a friend's projector and sound system and played cartoon movies in French. The kids had a blast!
Getting set up for movie night!

I took some pictures of Missionary Flight International's Port-au-Prince headquarters. Here is where we go to pick up our care packages and mail. Thanks again to everyone for supporting us with with these special nuggets of home!

Carl is across the field at the pickup window, waiting to get our generator!


Monday and Tuesday here in Haiti are a national holiday: The Carnival of Flowers. We would not really notice this since we are outside of the main city area, except that DJ "Wood Mix" has set up shop right across from our house, and he played music (a mix of Creole and American rap with an occasional Bob Marley song) last night until 4 in the morning! He is setting up again right now, we are really hoping that this is only because of the Carnival and that a regular dance club has not moved in right across from us! 

We had a rental car for couple days and were able to run errands and see a bit more of Haiti and Port-au-Prince. We rented the car to help with a food pickup, but the containers are stuck in port and the food pickup has been delayed. Here are some of the (mostly in focus) pictures I took as we drove around. I compiled more of them into a little video but I wasn't able to load it on the blog, sorry! I will put it on our Facebook page. 

I hope everyone has a great week!
