*I started typing this on New Year's Day, but am just now posting it.
Happy New Year to all! I am excited to start a new year in Haiti and to see what the Lord will do in this country and in our lives.
I am using the quieter day after being up late last night to catch up on blogging, especially of pictures. How did YOU celebrate last night and today? In addition to blogging, reading, and relaxing, I get to eat some fantastic soup Jamou, made by our sweet cooks at the orphanage. Soup Joumou is traditionally served early in the morning on January 1, in celebration of their independence in 1804, as they were forbidden to eat the soup when they were under the rule of their French masters.

Asher (my friend Brittany's son) and Elisee

Jerry. I just love this kid. He's always asking for band-aids, but usually can't tell me why he needs it. He's only five, but watch out...
Susette. Doesn't she look like a cute little elf here?

do you know the history of why they were not allowed to eat soup? That seems a bit odd.
