You Know You're in Haiti when...

1. A lizard runs over your foot and you don't flinch.
2. It starts raining and you run OUTSIDE of the house instead of inside it (and bring your shampoo).
3. You can't fall asleep without the aide of VooDoo drums.
4. When you look at the fly (a.k.a. "Flying Raisin" here in Haiti) floating in your drink and down it anyways, thankful for the protein.
5. When the absence of the smell of trash makes you feel uncomfortable.
6.You praise God for one week without the runs.
7. The trip to the air conditioned grocery store feels like a day at an amusement park.
8. You see a man with a shotgun in the cookie aisle and wonder if he is getting chocolate chip or sugar.
9. Before buying any item of food you check to make sure there are no more than five ants crawling inside.
10. You see tarantulas, snakes, and rats more often than birds and you still don't want to leave :(

Please remember to pray for us as we are home these next few weeks. We have fallen in love with the people here and are going to need prayer readjusting. We will try and post one more after we are home and get settled in!
