Wednesday July something

This is my organizations blog. They put up a picture of us with some of the more advanced English students that we teach at night.
On another note, We have BED BUGS. Not in my bed, but a different bunk. We took EVERYTHING out and sprayed it with smelly stuff. Hopefully it all goes away. The poor girls legs are eaten upppp. Pray that they stay away from me.
I had the religion conversation with one of the girls. She asked me why I didn't drink if it was religion purposes. And I said yes, I was Mormon and she goes "Ohhhh....so your Dad has like two wives?" Um. No. Lovely.
We are going to some club/wine bar tonight. It will be interesting. We are supposed to dress up, but I didn't bring anything but D.I. clothes to Haiti. So naturally I'm going to be fancy. Not.
No matter how much bug spray I put on, I still get eaten up. like mad. Okay well maybe not that bad. But still I'm over that.
I miss a refrigerator, cold water, ice, air conditioning, and a flushing toilet.
Today has been our chill day, we had several meetings and they kind of gave us the layout for the trip. I found out that in two weeks we are going to go to the other end of Haiti. And pass over the the Dominican Republic and kind of see another side of the country. This Sunday we are going to a History museum and basically tour the city which will be fun.
Its hot hot hot hot. Constant sweating.
One cool thing about the base I'm staying at is in the back wall there is this hole to our neighbors backyard. And its called "The Hole in The Wall." And they sell cold beverages because they have a fridge.
I'm learning so much from the people of Haiti. It is ridiculous how grateful, kind, and what not they are.
