still here
Internet is fairly accessible in the place that I’m staying but I haven’t had the time to get on here as I’ve been traveling around the country from early in the morning until 8 or 9pm. I don’t think I have a ton of time either right now but I thought I’d post something up here that proves I’m still alive. Perhaps the most fun part of this little jaunt happened tonight when I hopped in the back of a Ford Ranger and was taken through the back roads (roads?) through Port-au-Prince nightlife with about 7 others on our way back to the house I’m staying at. Fun. Weird. Surreal. But mostly fun.
In other news, I’ve decided that I’m the only white person in Port au Prince. Apparently there are others in Haiti but not too many around these parts (from what I can tell). I did see one other guy and when he saw me our eyes locked and he looked at me like I was the prettiest girl at the ball. It was kind of creep actually- but still, I’ve never been such an obvious minority before; it’s a weird feeling.
And just to quell the Canada Christian College rumours: 1. I would not last an hour a CCC. 2. I’m thinking of taking one class at MacDiv with Josh Mutter this coming semester. It’s Saturdays and it’s called something like “Exile: Ministry in a Postmodern Context”. I’m not sure I appreciate just yet what the title of the class presupposes (to me, it kind of says that exile is something forced upon the church by culture…but we know that’s not true). I’ll investigate further and keep you posted.
