What a day...

So today started out as a typical day. We woke up to more rain, and headed to the club to clean up the water from our much leaking roof. The boys were waiting for us when we got there, wanting a dry place to come to. So we had the club, and not all of the boys were there, due to the hammering rain. Three of the boys decided that they were going to try and give me a new hair - do today. They pulled, tugged, and by the time they were finished, Yordi in particular, were so proud of what they had done - just a different style ponytail. It was pretty funny, because I had all these different hands through my hair, working together to make it nice.


Today was the last boys club before I leave to go home. I do not like goodbye's, I always say see you later. So this time, I was able to say, see you in May! I still hate leaving, and I actually didnt cry this time...I guess because I know I will be back in a few months.

So later on when we got home, around 6, we were all sitting in Liz's room on our laptops. I was writing an email, when Liz says, "hey you guys, is the house moving?" And I was like ya right, thinking she was just being silly. But I looked up, and realized the bed I was sitting on was shaking hard. We got up, and went into the living room, to see the ceiling fan shaking like crazy. We quickly went downstairs to stand outside. The whole neighbourhood was out on the streets, and we stood out there for about 15 minutes. It was raining, so we came back in to get on the internet and find out what the heck just happened, while staying on the watch for after effects. It was a 7.0 Earthquake that hit Puerto Prince, Haiti the worst. They have buildings and homes collapsing right now. I am grateful that we didnt feel the worst of it, but also praying and hoping that Haiti can survive this.
