Koinonia Girls!
10. Horns continue to mean I’m coming, Get out of the way,
or Hello
9. Atkins does not exist here- 3 pieces of bread for
breakfast, 5 for lunch, and 6 for dinner plus a side of rice
8. By the way the bread that we live on has a black tint on
the bottom, we tell ourselves it’s burn marks but in reality its dirt from the
wheel barrels its sold out of
7.Transportation consists of you plus 50 other people in the
back of a small Toyota pickup truck. And beware of touching any passengers-
they don’t like it!
6. Nightly rituals consist of checking each others hair for
lice, worrying if you might have scabies (google it!), or getting eating alive
by mammoth mosquitos
5. It’s a Haitian norm to pass a donkey, goat, chicken, or
cow on the way to the beach
4. Ants continue to reside in the kitchen, in the bathroom,
or on the table in your plate- sometimes eating in the dark is preferred
3. Taryn and Rocio will be starting an accounting firm when
they get back- we do accounting with receipts in another language, that we
can’t understand + 3 different currencies and we don’t even know how to balance
our own checkbooks
2. Jenni has become a local pharmacist- she prescribes drugs
she has no idea what they mean or do but you can find her in the clinic daily
1. With screams over ants, spiders (they have tarantulas
here!), and moths the Koinonia guys have deemed it an understatement that they
have the girliest girls on their team!
