Carnival has been going on and it has been somewhat crazy with rah-rah bands and parades going on. Not that celebrating and having fun isn’t good, but the thing is from what I understand carnival has to do a lot with indulging before lent and voodoo. I really am not educated on it enough to give a history lesson or anything. In PAP it’s more of drunkenness, parties and a bit of chaos going on throughout the city. However in rural villages (providences), like Bercy, where I was the first 2 weeks it is more a holiday to celebrate voodoo, but I don’t know the specifics. The UN peacekeepers are out and Dorothy has informed me that we will not be going outside the gate unless we absolutely have so we stocked up on stuff, but I think the majority of things will be over this Tuesday.
I’m not too worried, but I firmly believe is spiritual warfare and I know Haiti is a strong place that battles such things. Be prayerful, as many people will be glorifying something that is not of God. I know the Lord has a hedge of protection around the children and Dorothy’s whole house that is built upon His love and ministry here so I am not worried. Our GOD is so powerful, faithful and just…but I just wanted you all to know what is going on right now and to keep Haiti and the people of Haiti in your prayers this week.
God Bless. Me
