Searching for an Apartment

Our biggest priority right now is finding an apartment to live in more permanently. We have been staying with Mimi since we arrived, and she is a wonderful friend to us! But we are craving our own little home. We have been looking near a town called Pacot, which is where many Americans live (called Ex-Pats). We don't want to be in the American bubble and exclude ourselves from the rest of the Haitian world, but we would like to be in walking distance from some Americans so that we can have some of the comforts of home close by. One of our main concerns is having a place with somewhat consistent electricity-- we have been without power for 24 hours, and a friend from church is graciously having us in their home this morning so that we can use our computers! Please pray for us as we try to find a nice spot in a safe and convenient area, and within our budget.

In the mean time, here's a picture of Andrew drawing our bath water from the well ---

Another fun fact: Haitian men mostly wear long pants. If they wear shorts, they are way below the knee. Mimi explained that it's a cultural thing, that makes them feel more professional. So you can imagine the looks Andrew gets as they look him up and down. If only they could see some of the guys on the UGA campus... ;)
