Recap in OCap

So after having to flee the children's prayer service with flu-like symptoms and a bit concerned that I might have contracted Malaria, I had to call it an early night and tell the girls in the clinic that I was going to pass on our nightly card games. Though this being sick bit I have just had to continue trusting, knowing that He will not give me more than I can handle. Though I would be lying if I didn't admit that I am a little bummed that this is how I am spending my last day before I leave for Cap Haitian(aka OCap) tomorrow morning. But it was the strangest thing, not strange when you know God is in the mix, but when I went to the airport yesteday to buy my ticket something made me change my return date to Port au Prince to a day earlier than I'd originally planned. So I guess I will be able to make up to the kids for today before I return to the states next Saturday.

As this next week could not possibly be as jammed packed as these past few have been, what I hope to be able to do is to backtrack just a little. For any of you that might be interested, I have made it my goal to return to the first phase of my journey and blog for each of the days at the villages when I was unable to blog the first time around. I have been deliberating over this these past couple days as to if there would even be an interest there. I have come to the conclusion that there were just so many things that would be left out if I did not. I also thought that with the assistance of the thousands of photos I might be able to look back and reflect. I also thought that this might also help me gain some closure for what has been the most unforgetable month of my life. Stay tuned for more.

Note* These are two of the children I've bonded with here at the orphanage. Funa is the little girl who has plates put in her leg. She is just about the cuttest little girl and she is one of the ones trying to teach me to (jwe kats) play cards at night. The other little one is Gino and refers to everyone as 'hey you' which I now answer to...so it seems as though I have acquired yet another nickname!
